SDCN 1504ZD AH140 milling insert — PVD-coated carbide, 90° square by Tungaloy

The SDCN 1504ZD AH140 is a PVD-coated carbide milling insert designed for use in Tungaloy milling systems and suitable for face, shoulder, slot, high-feed and contour milling depending on the assigned tool family

• PVD-coated AH140 grade for process security
• Square 15 mm plate, 90° cutting geometry
• 15° clearance angle for sharp cutting edge
• No hole, 4.76 mm thickness for stable clamping

Longer life under load thanks to a wear-resistant coating

The insert uses a PVD-coated AH140 carbide grade that combines wear resistance with good edge stability. The PVD layer reduces abrasive wear and improves heat resistance, which leads to more consistent cutting performance and fewer unexpected tool changes. For production planning this translates into predictable tool life and reduced cycle interruptions; the hardmetal substrate maintains integrity when intermittent loads or minor edge impacts occur, supporting stable machining results.

Precise geometry for consistent, versatile milling results

A 90° square geometry with a 15 mm side and a 15° clearance angle gives a balance between strength and cutting sharpness. Square plates provide reliable shoulder and face milling capability while the positive clearance angle helps to keep cutting forces moderate; this supports quality surface finishes and dimensional control. The rear geometry ensures correct seating in matching milling bodies — the right geometry reduces chatter and improves repeatability in contour and slotting tasks.

Seamless integration with Tungaloy systems and secure clamping

This insert is made for Tungaloy milling systems where plate seat, geometry and cutter body must be technically compatible. The design expects use with the appropriate clamping screw and, where required, a backing shim; correct assembly ensures the 4.76 mm thickness and holeless design provide secure contact between insert and cutter body. Reference the manufacturer SKU TUN6821091 when checking tool family compatibility to avoid mismatches that can compromise clamping stability or cutting performance.

Efficient production through stable chip behaviour and predictable performance

The chipformer‑free configuration combined with the AH140 grade aims to support stable chip formation under many milling regimes when matched with the correct tool family. Stable chips and a robust cutting edge reduce rework and downstream inspection needs, improving throughput. Selecting this insert helps to align machining capability with production targets by lowering the risk of edge breakdown and maintaining surface quality over longer runs.

FAQ

Is this insert compatible with all Tungaloy milling bodies?
Compatibility depends on the seat and clamping design of the milling body; the SDCN 1504ZD AH140 insert is intended for Tungaloy systems but requires a matching seat, geometry and clamping arrangement to function correctly.

Which milling operations are suitable for this grade and shape?
The insert is designed for face, shoulder, slot, high‑feed and contour milling operations, with the actual suitability determined by the assigned tool family and machining parameters.

What does the AH140 designation indicate?
AH140 denotes a PVD-coated carbide grade optimised for wear resistance and edge stability; it is chosen where a sharp cutting edge and process security are required.

How should the insert be clamped in the cutter body?
Secure clamping with the correct clamping screw and, if applicable, a backing shim is required; proper seating and torque ensure stable contact for the 4.76 mm thick, holeless plate
