TCMT 16T304 AH8015 Wendeplatten - Tungaloy

Reliable machining of heat‑resistant alloys is supported by the combination of a PVD‑coated AH8015 grade and a 0.4 mm nose radius, delivering balanced wear resistance and stable cutting edges for uninterrupted turning operations. The ISO triangular form ensures straightforward compatibility with standard holders. Order the insert via Metav Werkzeuge or consult our specialists for precise tool selection.

TCMT 16T304 AH8015 indexable turning insert by Tungaloy — 60° triangular, PVD‑coated carbide

A TCMT16T304 indexable turning insert designed for general turning of heat‑resistant alloys, compatible with ISO‑standard holders and secure clamping systems

• PVD‑coated AH8015 grade
• 60° triangular insert design
• 0.4 mm nose radius
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink
• Compatible with ISO turning holders

Predictable tool life for machining heat‑resistant alloys

The PVD‑coated AH8015 carbide grade is tuned for a balance between wear resistance and edge stability, making it a reliable choice when machining heat‑resistant alloys. The single‑sided chipbreaker is optimised to control chips in common turning operations, reducing downtime from manual chip handling. As a result, tool changes become more predictable and cycle times remain stable, which supports consistent part quality in small and medium batch production.

Geometry that reduces setup complexity and ensures repeatability

The triangular 60° form with a 0.4 mm nose radius and a 7° clearance angle provides a good compromise between versatility and finish quality. The insert’s 3.97 mm thickness and central cylindrical hole with single‑sided countersink (40°–60°) deliver secure clamping in standard ISO toolholders, limiting micro‑movement during heavy cuts. These measured dimensions make holder matching straightforward and help to maintain reproducible cutting conditions across different machines.

Seamless integration into production workflows

Designed as an ISO‑standard indexable insert, this component fits into a typical system consisting of an ISO turning insert, a matching external holder or boring bar, shims/clamp sets and spare screws. The combination of grade and geometry supports productive turning while keeping inventory management simple.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The TCMT16T304 AH8015 insert is intended primarily for the general turning of heat‑resistant alloys; the AH8015 PVD‑coated carbide provides a balance of wear resistance and edge stability for these materials.

How does the 0.4 mm nose radius affect surface finish?
A 0.4 mm nose radius helps to produce a stable surface finish while retaining sufficient edge strength; the geometry is suitable for medium‑ to fine‑finishing passes using an ISO‑compatible holder.

Which holders are compatible with this insert form?
The triangular 60° ISO form fits standard ISO turning holders and boring bars; the cylindrical central hole with single‑sided countersink ensures secure fastening in typical clamping systems.

What is the chip control strategy for this grade and geometry?
The insert features a one‑sided chipbreaker designed to produce controlled chip formation during external and internal turning, assisting in uninterrupted material removal and safer machine operation.

Is the TCMT16T304 supplied with spare screws or clamping sets?
The item is an indexable insert; a complete system typically comprises the ISO insert, a matching external holder or boring bar, shims/clamp sets and spare screws — these are supplied separately according to system requirements.
