TNGN 160404 LX11 Tungaloy triangular turning insert, ISO 60° for turning

The TNGN160404 LX11 Tungaloy is an ISO-standard triangular turning insert designed for external and internal turning, offering a small corner radius for accurate profiling and stable cutting.

• ISO-standard triangular insert
• Tungaloy LX11 grade for wear resistance
• 0.4 mm corner radius for precise profiling
• Compatible with standard 60° holders

Consistent geometry for predictable results

The insert’s ISO-standard triangular geometry with a 60° included angle delivers predictable clamping and repeatable positioning in indexable holders. This results in consistent cutting kinematics across production batches and simplifies tool inventory management. Because compatibility is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness, selecting the correct combination of insert and holder reduces set-up time and minimises unexpected downtimes. The standardised shape also supports multi-edge indexing, which improves tool utilisation and process stability.

Grade and substrate engineered for longer life

Manufactured from carbide and specified in the LX11 Tungaloy grade, the insert combines wear resistance with sufficient toughness to withstand interrupted cuts common in turning. Carbide substrates provide a hard cutting edge supported by a metallic binder; the chosen grade balances edge stability and abrasion resistance to extend insert life under typical turning conditions. For precision finishing and medium-duty machining, this balance reduces edge chipping and maintains surface quality over longer tool cycles, contributing to lower tool costs per part and improved process reliability.

Application guidance and selection tips

The insert features a corner radius of 0.4 mm, which supports accurate contouring and fine profiling while preserving edge strength for moderate feeds. Note that this variant is supplied without a chipbreaker, so chip control must be provided by the holder geometry or by choosing a matching chipformer for the workpiece material and cutting conditions. Typical system components include the ISO turning insert, a compliant external holder or boring bar, a shim or clamping set and retention screws. When machining steels, alloyed steels or rostfreiem Stahl, pair the LX11 grade with an appropriate coolant and moderate cut parameters; for cast iron or non-ferrous materials, adjust feeds and select chip guidance accordingly to maintain surface finish and process security.

FAQ

What holder types are compatible with this triangular insert?
Compatibility depends on holder form and dimensions; the TNGN160404 LX11 insert fits standard ISO triangular 60° holders when the holder matches the insert’s size, thickness and tolerance class.

Is the LX11 grade suitable for rostfreiem Stahl (stainless steel)?
Yes, the LX11 grade of the TNGN160404 insert offers a balance of wear resistance and toughness suitable for turning rostfreiem Stahl under appropriate cutting conditions.

Can this insert be used for internal turning and external turning?
The TNGN160404 insert is designed for both external and internal turning operations when mounted in a matching external holder or boring bar.

How does the 0.4 mm corner radius affect surface finish?
A 0.4 mm corner radius improves edge strength for moderate feeds and supports fine profiling, helping to achieve a smoother surface finish compared with smaller radii.

What does ‘without chipbreaker’ mean for machining?
Being supplied without a chipbreaker means chip control must be achieved via holder geometry or an external chipformer; selection should match the workpiece material and cutting parameters.

Which materials are recommended for this insert?
The insert is intended for turning common engineering materials; select the LX11 grade and appropriate holder for optimal results with Stahl, rostfreiem Stahl and similar materials.
