TPMN 160312 UX30 turning insert — Tungaloy (triangle, 60°)

The TPMN160312 UX30 is an ISO‑standard turning insert for external and internal turning, engineered with a sharp cutting edge to favour low cutting forces and consistent chip formation.

• ISO triangle insert TPMN 160312 UX30
• Sharp uncoated carbide cutting edge
• 1.2 mm corner radius for robust machining
• Compatible with ISO turning holders

Reliable ISO compatibility for predictable setup and cycle times

This triangle insert is manufactured to ISO standards, which simplifies adapter selection and reduces set‑up time across production runs. The ISO designation 160312 and standard form mean that compatibility with a holder depends on measurable parameters — form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness — enabling repeatable mounting and consistent tool geometry. In practice, this leads to fewer interruptions in the turning process and more predictable part tolerances, supporting efficient workflow in a production environment.

Sharp uncoated carbide edge for efficient chip formation

The UX30 grade is an uncoated carbide designed for applications where low cutting forces and good chip formation are priorities. A sharp cutting edge reduces cutting resistance and helps maintain dimensional stability on slender or low‑rigidity workpieces. Because this insert is supplied without a chipbreaker, the operator can pair it with a suitable chip control geometry for the specific workpiece material and machining parameters, thereby optimising surface finish and evacuation of swarf.

Practical geometry and system integration for turning operations

The insert’s triangle shape with a 60° cutting angle, 16 mm size and 3.18 mm thickness offers a balance between accessibility for internal turning and sufficient edge support for external cuts. The 1.2 mm corner radius provides robustness for intermittent cuts while still permitting good surface quality at moderate feeds. As part of an ISO insert system, the component is intended to be used with an appropriate external holder or boring bar, plus the recommended clamping set and replacement screws; matching the insert to the holder’s tolerance and clearance specification ensures secure fixation and repeatable performance.

FAQ

What is the primary application of this insert?
The Tungaloy TPMN160312 UX30 turning insert is designed for external and internal turning operations and is part of an ISO‑standard insert family for general turning tasks.

Which material or machining style suits the UX30 grade best?
The UX30 grade is an uncoated carbide with a sharp cutting edge, intended where low cutting forces and good chip formation are required; the exact choice of grade and chip control should match the workpiece material and machining stability.

What are the key geometric specifications of the insert?
Size and geometry details: triangle form, 16 mm inscribed size, 3.18 mm thickness, 1.2 mm corner radius and 60° cutting angle (ISO designation 160312).

Does the insert include a chipbreaker or central hole?
This variant is supplied without a chipbreaker and without a hole; chip control is achieved by selecting a suitable chipbreaker geometry or holder combination where necessary.

How is compatibility with a specific holder determined?
Compatibility depends on measurable parameters: insert form, clearance (relief) angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; matching these parameters ensures secure mounting and repeatable performance.
