VCMT160404-TSF AH8015 — ISO rhombic turning insert for external and internal turning by Tungaloy

The VCMT160404-TSF AH8015 is an ISO‑standard rhombic insert designed for turning operations, optimised for heat‑resistant alloys and general machining where a balance of wear resistance and edge stability is required

• PVD-coated carbide AH8015
• ISO rhombic insert, size 160404
• 0.4 mm corner radius, 7° clearance
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink

Consistent performance on heat‑resistant alloys

The VCMT160404-TSF AH8015 is built on a PVD coating applied to a carbide substrate, providing a measured compromise between wear resistance and edge stability. This combination reduces flank wear and thermal softening when machining difficult, heat‑resistant materials, so fewer insert changes are required and part tolerances remain stable. The chipbreaker TSF promotes segmented or short chips in turning, which lowers the risk of entanglement and reduces rework. For production environments seeking predictable tool life and repeatable surface finish, this insert offers a technically straightforward path to improved process reliability without complex parameter tuning.

Reliable fit and straightforward setup for reduced downtime

Conforming to ISO‑standard dimensions, the rhombic geometry and defined mounting details make holder selection and insert exchange uncomplicated. The insert’s 35° lead angle and 7° clearance ensure a familiar cutting geometry for many external and internal turning holders, while the 0.4 mm corner radius supports fine surface definition on transitional passes. The plate is 16 mm in nominal size with a 4.76 mm thickness, and the cylindrical hole with a 40°–60° countersink simplifies clamping and alignment in compatible toolholders. These measurable specifications translate into shorter setup times, fewer fitting errors and consistent clamping force across tool changes.

Efficient chip control and economic machining

Designed for productive machining, the insert’s chip control characteristics reduce handling and disposal effort while supporting higher feed rates where machine and workholding rigidity allow. The alloy‑oriented grade delivers extended tool life through a stable cutting edge and predictable wear progression, which enhances overall machining economics by lowering insert consumption per part produced. As a component of an ISO‑based system — insert, matched external holder or boring bar, shim/clamping set and spare screws — the plate integrates into established tooling stocks and maintenance routines, enabling fast replacement and minimal interruption to production.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for machining heat‑resistant alloys? The VCMT160404-TSF AH8015 is intended as a first choice for general machining of heat‑resistant alloys thanks to its PVD coating and balanced carbide composition.

Which holders are compatible with this ISO plate? Compatibility depends on holder form, clearance angle, tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness; use holders specified for ISO 160404 rhombic inserts and the appropriate clamping set.

What chip form can be expected with the TSF chipbreaker? The TSF chipbreaker on this turning insert promotes controlled, short or segmented chips during turning, improving swarf handling and surface quality.

Can this insert be used for internal turning operations? Yes; the rhombic geometry and ISO dimensions permit use in both external and internal turning holders when mounted with the correct boring bar or holder.

What components are needed to complete a tooling system with this plate? A complete system typically includes the ISO insert, a matched external holder or boring bar, a shim/clamping set and suitable replacement screws for secure mounting.
