TCMT 16T308 AH8015 – ISO triangular turning insert (60°) by Tungaloy

A TCMT16T308 AH8015 triangular ISO insert for turning, optimised for general machining of heat‑resistant alloys and designed for secure clamping in standard ISO holders

• PVD-coated AH8015 carbide for heat-resistant alloys
• ISO triangular 60° form, 16 mm size
• 0.8 mm corner radius for robust edge security
• One-sided chipbreaker, cylindrical hole with countersink

Consistent performance for machining heat‑resistant alloys

The PVD-coated carbide grade AH8015 is formulated as a first choice for general machining of heat‑resistant alloys, offering a balanced combination of wear resistance and edge strength. This balance reduces unexpected tool change frequency and supports predictable performance across production batches. For shops seeking steady output, the insert’s composition contributes to extended tool life under moderate cutting speeds while maintaining surface finish and dimensional stability.

Geometry that improves process reliability and surface finish

The 60° triangular shape and 0.8 mm corner radius provide a compromise between strength and accessibility for external and internal turning tasks. The 3.97 mm plate thickness increases rigidity at the cutting edge, decreasing vibration and improving form accuracy. Together, these geometric choices deliver improved chip formation and a more consistent cutting edge life, which contributes to fewer part reworks and higher first‑pass yields.

ISO compatibility and secure mounting for efficient setup

Manufactured to ISO dimensions, the insert is compatible with standard triangular holders when form, relief angle, tolerance class, mounting and thickness match. The insert features a cylindrical hole with single‑side countersink (40°–60°) and a relief angle of 7°, allowing simple, repeatable clamping with shims and clamping sets. The standardised format simplifies inventory management and shortens setup times across different lathes and turning stations.

Coating and chip control that cut downtime

The PVD layer on the carbide substrate enhances thermal stability at the cutting edge and aids in abrasion resistance during extended operations. The one‑sided chipbreaker is tailored to support controlled chip curling for many alloy grades, reducing the risk of entanglement and machine stoppages. For production environments where uptime and consistent surface quality matter, this insert provides a pragmatic balance of longevity and process security.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The TCMT16T308 AH8015 insert is primarily intended for heat‑resistant alloys and general machining tasks where a balanced wear resistance and edge stability are required.

Which holders are compatible with this insert?
Compatibility is achieved with standard ISO triangular holders that match the insert form, thickness (3.97 mm), relief angle (7°) and clamping method; the TCMT16T308 design supports secure mounting via a cylindrical hole with countersink.

What corner radius does the insert have and why does it matter?
This insert has a 0.8 mm corner radius, which provides enhanced edge strength for tougher cuts while still allowing a good surface finish on external and internal profiles.

How does the chipbreaker affect machining?
The one-sided chipbreaker on this insert promotes controlled chip formation for many alloy types, helping to avoid chip entanglement and reducing interruptions in continuous turning operations.

Is the TCMT16T308 AH8015 suitable for finishing and roughing?
The combination of PVD-coated AH8015 and the insert’s geometry offers a versatile solution that can be applied to both general finishing and medium roughing, depending on cutting parameters and material stability.
