TNGG160404 TH10 turning insert, uncoated carbide, 0.4 mm corner radius — Tungaloy

The TNGG160404 TH10 is an ISO-series triangular turning insert designed for external and internal turning operations, optimised for low cutting forces and clean surface finishes on non-ferrous materials.

• ISO triangular insert, 60° geometry
• Uncoated carbide for low cutting forces
• Double-sided chipbreaker for clean finishes

Consistent surface quality with controlled chip formation

The combination of an uncoated carbide grade and a double-sided chipbreaker provides reliable chip control and helps to achieve a superior surface finish on aluminium, brass and similar materials. The insert’s geometry and the chipbreaker design reduce built-up edge tendency and promote short, manageable chips, which supports stable machining and reduces the need for secondary finishing. For operations where low cutting forces and cleanliness of the machined surface are priorities, this insert delivers measurable process advantages.

Straightforward selection and tool compatibility for ISO systems

Compatibility with toolholders is determined by shape, clearance, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness; the insert’s ISO turning inserts format simplifies sourcing and changeover. The triangular form with a 60° geometry and a 0.4 mm corner radius offers predictable engagement with the workpiece and defined stress distribution at the cutting edge. The 0° clearance angle and a 4.76 mm thickness ensure secure clamping and repeatable positioning in standard holders. These characteristics allow engineers to select the correct holder and clamping set with confidence, reducing downtime associated with trial-and-error fitting.

Economic performance and practical system use in turning

Designed as a sharp universal grade, the TH10 composition supports clean cuts at moderate feeds and speeds, particularly when machining non-ferrous alloys where minimal cutting force is advantageous. The double-sided chipbreaker contributes to longer productive time between indexings, while the robust carbide body withstands typical turning loads. Together with a compatible external holder or boring bar, the insert forms a compact system that is easy to maintain and replenishable with standard spare screws and clamping components, supporting efficient shop-floor logistics and predictable process planning.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The TNGG160404 TH10 insert is intended primarily for non-ferrous materials such as aluminium and brass, where its uncoated carbide and chipbreaker support low cutting forces and clean surfaces.

How does the 0.4 mm corner radius affect machining?
A 0.4 mm corner radius balances edge strength and surface finish: it reduces edge chipping while still enabling fine surface quality in standard turning operations.

Is this insert compatible with standard ISO toolholders?
Yes, the insert follows ISO-series dimensions; compatibility depends on matching holder form, fastening method, tolerance and thickness.

What does double-sided chipbreaker mean for tool life?
The double-sided chipbreaker aids consistent chip control and can contribute to longer productive intervals between indexings, improving economical usage of the insert.
