SDCN 1504ZD AH120 milling insert by Tungaloy — PVD-coated carbide, square 15 mm

The SDCN1504ZD AH120 is a PVD-coated carbide indexable insert for milling applications, suitable for face, shoulder, slot, high-feed and contour milling where a sharp cutting edge and process security are required.

• PVD-coated carbide for improved wear resistance
• AH120 grade for secure, chip- and breakout-resistant cutting
• Square 15 mm format with 90° cutting angle
• 15° relief and 4.76 mm thickness for stable seating

Higher throughput through predictable wear and chip control

The insert’s PVD-coated surface combined with the AH120 hardmetal composition improves resistance to abrasive wear and edge chipping, which translates into longer in-service intervals and fewer tool changes. For production environments prioritising cycle time, this means fewer interruptions and consistent part quality; the coating reduces thermal and abrasive degradation while the substrate maintains edge integrity. The result is an indexable cutting solution that sustains higher material removal rates with reduced risk of unexpected edge failure.

Robust geometry and secure seating for reliable milling

Designed as a square 15 mm format with a 90° cutting angle and 15° relief, the insert provides a balanced geometry that supports both heavy shoulder cuts and fine finishing passes. The 4.76 mm plate thickness ensures a secure clamp engagement and reduces vibration in the cutter body, improving surface finish and dimensional repeatability. Because the insert is intended for dedicated Tungaloy milling systems, matching the insert seat, geometry and cutter body is essential to achieve the expected mechanical stability and repeatable results.

Material compatibility and application focus

This grade is optimised for general milling tasks where both a sharp cutting edge and process security are demanded. The combination of PVD coating and a wear-resistant hardmetal substrate makes the insert suitable for a broad range of steels and alloyed materials in typical machining scenarios. The cutting geometry supports face, shoulder, slot, high-feed and contour milling depending on the chosen cutter family, providing a versatile choice for job shops and production lines that require a single, robust indexable solution.

Practical handling, tool matching and economic benefits

As a reversible indexable plate, the component is simple to replace and re-index, reducing setup time and facilitating rapid recovery from tool wear. When integrated into a matched Tungaloy milling body with the correct clamp screw and, where required, pads or supports, the system delivers stable cutting conditions and consistent surface quality. The economical aspect arises from longer edge life and fewer unplanned tool changes, delivering a measurable reduction in downtime and lower overall tooling consumption across batches.
