TPGN 110304 BX360 ISO triangular turning insert by Tungaloy — CBN grade for hardened steels

TPGN 110304 BX360 is an ISO triangular indexable insert designed for turning, offering a wear-resistant CBN cutting material for high-hardness finishing applications

• CBN grade for hardened steels
• ISO triangular insert with 60° geometry
• 0.4 mm corner radius for fine finishing

Improve finishing consistency and reduce tool change frequency

The BX360 grade uses cubic boron nitride (CBN) bonded to a carbide substrate to provide exceptional wear resistance when machining hardened steels. This results in more consistent cutting-edge life and an improved surface finish on high-hardness components, which reduces rework and tool-change interruptions. CBN is a superhard abrasive optimised for sustained contact with workpieces at elevated temperatures; when mounted correctly, the insert maintains cutting geometry longer than conventional carbide grades, enabling stable, repeatable production runs.

Secure fit and rigidity for reliable turning performance

Compatibility within ISO turning systems is determined by insert form, 11° relief angle, tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness. The triangular shape with a 60° included angle and a 3.18 mm thickness delivers rigidity suited to fine external and internal turning. The 0.4 mm corner radius supports delicate profile work and light finishing passes, while the absence of a chipbreaker signals suitability for operations prioritising surface quality over heavy chip control. Correct holder selection and stable clamping are essential to exploit the insert’s material and geometry advantages.

Application guidance and practical benefits for production

Intended primarily for wear‑intensive finishing of hardened steels and, depending on the variant, certain cast irons, this ISO insert integrates into a system comprising an insert, compatible external holder or boring bar, clamping set and replacement screws. The compact dimensions and standard ISO designation simplify inventory management and allow quick identification for batch replenishment. For components where tolerances and surface integrity matter, the insert’s design helps achieve consistent part quality with fewer adjustments, supporting more efficient machining cycles and predictable output.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert suitable for?
The TPGN110304 BX360 insert by Tungaloy is designed primarily for machining hardened steels and, depending on the variant, can be used for certain types of cast iron.

What makes BX360 different from standard carbide grades?
BX360 is a CBN grade; cubic boron nitride provides superior wear resistance and thermal stability compared with conventional carbide grades, improving edge life in wear‑intensive finishing.

How is holder compatibility determined for this ISO insert?
Compatibility depends on insert form, relief angle (11°), tolerance class, clamping method, size (11 mm) and thickness (3.18 mm); matching these parameters ensures secure seating and repeatable performance.

Is this insert suitable for heavy roughing cuts?
The TPGN110304 BX360 insert is optimised for finishing and high‑hardness work rather than heavy roughing, especially given the 0.4 mm corner radius and absence of a chipbreaker.

What advantages does the 0.4 mm corner radius provide?
A 0.4 mm radius improves surface finish and reduces stress concentrations on fine profiles, making it suitable for precision turning and light finishing passes.
