TPMN160304 AH120 – Turning insert (triangular, 11° clearance) by Tungaloy

A TPMN160304 AH120 ISO triangular turning insert engineered for external and internal turning applications, offering a PVD-coated carbide grade for wear and fracture resistance.

• PVD-coated carbide grade AH120
• 11° clearance for secure cutting
• Triangular ISO form, three usable edges
• Suitable for external and internal turning

Consistent edge performance through PVD coating and carbide grade

The PVD-coated carbide grade AH120 provides a combination of wear resistance and fracture toughness that supports steady performance in turning cycles. The coating reduces abrasive wear and helps to preserve a sharp cutting edge, which in turn improves dimensional consistency and reduces the frequency of tool changes. For operations where process security and repeatable results matter, the PVD-coated surface and the robust carbide substrate extend productive cutting time while maintaining surface quality.

Simple compatibility and compact geometry for easy tool changes

Designed to the ISO specification, the triangular form gives three usable cutting edges per insert and a compact profile that suits many standard clamping systems. Key geometric data — 16 mm inscribed circle, 3.18 mm thickness and 0.4 mm corner radius — ensure predictable seating and repeatability when replacing inserts. The insert is supplied without a hole, requiring clamping by the holder or screw system specified for the ISO triangle style. Compatibility with a holder is determined by form, clearance, tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness, which simplifies selection when the holder data is known.

Application fit and machining behaviour for turning tasks

This insert performs well for both external and internal turning tasks where a balance of a sharp edge and process security is needed. The 11° clearance reduces rubbing on the flank face and promotes controlled chip formation, while the modest corner radius supports both light profiling and general-purpose finishing. Where vibration and fixture rigidity are adequate, the grade is intended to deliver consistent surface finishes and reduced risk of chipping during interrupted cuts.

Practical recommendations for selecting and using the insert

Choose this insert when the machining strategy values a reliable cutting edge and predictable wear behaviour. If higher edge strength or different surface finish is required, adjust the corner radius or select an alternate chipformer; note that this item is supplied without a chipbreaker. For optimal results, match the insert geometry and grade to the holder and clamping system and consider the workpiece stiffness and cutting parameters to exploit the AH120 grade’s balance of wear resistance and fracture toughness.
