TNGG 160402 TH10 Tungaloy turning insert (ISO turning insert)

The TNGG160402 TH10 is an ISO-standard triangular indexable insert intended for external and internal turning, offering a sharp, uncoated cemented carbide grade that supports clean surface finishes on non-ferrous materials.

• TNGG160402 triangular insert, 16 mm
• Uncoated carbide grade TH10 for low cutting forces
• Double-sided chipbreaker with 0° relief
• Cylindrical hole for secure clamping

Predictable seating and trouble-free holder compatibility

The ISO-standard geometry of this triangular insert ensures repeatable seating and interchangeability in compatible holders. With a defined form and tolerance class, the design reduces setup time and supports consistent part quality during batch production. The cylindrical hole and standard clamping parameters permit secure fixation, while the 0° relief and established flank angle contribute to stable contact and predictable wear behaviour across repeated re-indexing.

Low cutting forces and clean finish for non-ferrous turning

Made from cemented carbide and supplied in the TH10 uncoated grade, the insert is optimised for applications where low cutting forces and bright surfaces are required. An uncoated cutting edge minimises built-up edge formation on soft or ductile materials, enabling smoother chip formation and reduced secondary operations. The combination of double-sided chipbreaker geometry and a 0.2 mm corner radius supports consistent chip control and a controlled metal flow, which helps achieve the intended surface integrity with fewer passes.

Economical indexability and process reliability

The triangular format with two usable cutting edges per side offers economical tool usage and straightforward edge changes, lowering tooling costs per component. Key dimensions such as 16 mm size and 4.76 mm thickness provide sufficient edge support for a range of turning tasks while keeping rigidity high. For best results, match the chipbreaker and grade to the workpiece material and machining stability; the insert’s universal character makes it suitable for a broad set of turning operations when paired with an appropriate external holder or boring bar.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The TNGG160402 TH10 insert is tailored to non-ferrous materials and applications requiring low cutting forces; the uncoated TH10 grade helps deliver clean surfaces on ductile materials.

How many usable cutting edges does the insert provide?
With a triangular shape and double-sided chipbreaker, the insert offers multiple indexable edges, enabling economical re-use of cutting corners before disposal.

Is the insert compatible with standard ISO turning holders?
Yes; the insert follows ISO geometry standards, but compatibility depends on holder form, free angle, tolerance class and clamping size—select a holder matching those parameters.

What benefit does the uncoated grade offer compared with coated grades?
The uncoated TH10 grade reduces the tendency for built-up edge on soft materials and lowers cutting forces, which can improve surface finish and reduce secondary finishing.

Does the insert include a central hole and what type is it?
The insert has a central cylindrical hole to permit secure clamping in appropriately designed holders.
