TPGN 160312 LX11 indexable turning insert for turning — Tungaloy

TPGN160312 LX11 is an ISO-format triangular turning insert designed for ISO-compliant external and internal turning applications, offering wear-resistant carbide performance in a compact 16 mm size.

• ISO triangular insert TPGN160312
• LX11 Tungaloy carbide grade
• 1.2 mm corner radius
• 11° clearance angle, 60° geometry

Consistent cutting-edge performance for productive turning

The LX11 carbide grade, supplied by Tungaloy, combines wear resistance and fracture toughness to support stable cutting in a range of turning operations. The grade complements the insert geometry to deliver consistent edge life and predictable wear behaviour, reducing the need for frequent interruptions. As an indexable insert, this component simplifies reconditioning and inventory management compared with brazed tools, enabling continuous production and better cost control.

Geometry tuned for accuracy and surface quality

The triangular 60° geometry with a 1.2 mm corner radius provides a balance between strength and finishing capability. The 11° clearance angle minimises rubbing while maintaining edge support for a controlled chip flow, which helps to achieve uniform surface quality on both external and internal profiles. These geometric parameters make the insert particularly suitable where a compact tool nose and repeatable contouring are required.

ISO compatibility and straightforward integration

Built to the ISO-DIN form standard for turning inserts, the component ensures simple integration with compatible toolholders and boring bars. Compatibility is governed by insert form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; matching these parameters secures correct seat fit and clamping stability. The system approach—insert, holder, pad/locking set and spare screws—allows shops to standardise toolholding and reduce setup variability.

Practical selection advice for industrial workshops

The insert is made of carbide, designed for turning tasks where wear resistance and edge stability are priorities. The absence of a predefined chipbreaker means the final chip control strategy should be chosen according to workpiece material, operation and machine stability; selecting a suitable chipbreaker geometry or an alternative grade where required will optimise machining performance. For applications requiring high reproducibility, the ISO-format insert supports quick index changes and inventory-friendly stocking.

FAQ

What operations is this insert designed for?
This indexable turning insert is designed for external and internal turning; the TPGN160312 LX11 insert from Tungaloy is intended for general turning where wear resistance and edge stability are required.

Which toolholders are compatible with this ISO-format insert?
Compatibility depends on the holder's insert pocket dimensions and clamping method; ensure the holder matches the ISO triangular form, size 16, thickness 3.18 mm and the 60° geometry for correct fit with the TPGN160312 LX11 insert.

Does the insert include a chipbreaker or coating?
The delivered version is specified without a chipbreaker; LX11 refers to the carbide grade rather than a coating. Chip control should be selected according to workpiece material and machining conditions.

How is the corner radius relevant to finishing operations?
A 1.2 mm corner radius balances edge strength and surface finish capability, providing robustness for profile turning while still allowing good surface quality when used with appropriate feed rates and machine stability.

What information is needed to select the correct insert and grade?
Provide the workpiece material, required surface finish, machine stability and the intended operation (roughing or finishing); Metav Werkzeuge can then advise whether the TPGN160312 LX11 insert is suitable or if an alternative chipbreaker or grade is preferable.
