Precision performance for turning tasks

The Tungaloy insert is built to deliver consistent machining results in a variety of turning operations. As an ISO‑standard triangular indexable component, it supports both external and internal turning with geometry chosen to balance strength and finish. The TH10 grade is an uncoated carbide developed as a sharp universal grade for non‑ferrous workpieces and situations where a low cutting force and a clean surface are priorities. Using an ISO‑compliant insert simplifies tool selection and reduces setup variability by ensuring dimensional and tolerance consistency across toolholders.

Geometry engineered to reduce cutting forces and improve finish

Cutting geometry directly influences chip formation and surface quality. The triangular design with a 60° included angle and 0.4 mm corner radius provides a compromise between edge stability and fine detail, while the 11° clearance angle reduces rubbing and heat at the flank. Combined, these factors produce lower cutting forces and help maintain tool life when machining softer or ductile alloys. The insert’s central mounting (a cylindrical hole with one‑sided countersink (40°–60°)) ensures secure clamping and repeatable seating, which contributes to consistently improved finishes and predictable process outcomes.

Material, system compatibility and production benefits

Made from solid carbide, the insert supports high productivity where clean cuts and reduced burrs are required. The 3.97 mm thickness and the triangular form make it compatible with a wide range of standard holders; overall compatibility is governed by shape, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The system typically comprises the insert, a matching external holder or boring bar, a backing pad/clamp set and replacement screws. Selecting the correct chipbreaker and grade for the workpiece and machining stability ensures efficient chip control and repeatable surface quality, contributing to reduced rework and steady cycle times. The indexable design allows rapid insert changes and predictable tool costs across production runs.

FAQ

Which holders are compatible with this insert?
Compatibility depends on holder form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; the TPGT16T304 TH10 insert fits standard holders designed for TPGT‑type triangular inserts.

Is this insert suitable for aluminium and other non‑ferrous alloys?
Yes, the TH10 uncoated carbide grade is formulated for non‑ferrous materials and produces low cutting forces with a clean surface finish when paired with the appropriate chipbreaker and machining parameters.

What advantage does the 0.4 mm corner radius provide?
A 0.4 mm corner radius balances edge strength with the ability to produce fine surface quality, reducing the risk of edge chipping while allowing good detail on turned contours.

How is chip control achieved with this product?
Chip control is managed by selecting the correct chipbreaker and by the insert’s single‑side chipbreaker geometry; combined with secure clamping through the central hole and countersink, this supports stable chip evacuation and consistent machining.
