CNMG 160616 T5115 turning insert – Tungaloy, CVD‑coated carbide, 80°

CNMG160616 T5115 Tungaloy insert for ISO‑standard turning applications, optimised for cast iron machining with stable cutting edges and reliable chip control

• CVD-coated carbide grade T5115
• Universal for cast iron
• ISO-standard rhombic CNMG form
• Double-sided chipbreaker
• Cylindrical hole, 80° cutting angle

Durable grade for consistent productivity

The T5115 grade combines a CVD‑coated carbide substrate with a formulation that balances wear resistance and edge stability, making it suitable for repetitive turning operations on cast iron. The coating reduces flank wear under sustained cutting, which translates into longer tool life and fewer insert changes. For production environments where cycle time and predictable tool life matter, this grade supports a steady process with reduced unscheduled interruptions.

Precise geometry for reliable fit and performance

The rhombic CNMG form is ISO‑standard, ensuring straightforward compatibility with a wide range of external holders and boring bars when matched for form, thickness and clamping. The 1.6 mm corner radius and 6.35 mm thickness contribute to a robust edge capable of absorbing moderate cutting forces, while the 80° cutting angle and 0° relief provide a versatile cutting geometry that is effective for both external and internal turning tasks. Correct holder selection is essential for optimum results.

Controlled chips and improved surface finish

Equipped with a double-sided chipbreaker, the insert promotes effective chip segmentation and evacuation, which benefits surface integrity and machine uptime. The cylindrical hole allows secure clamping in standard ISO fixtures, preserving positional accuracy and repeatability. Together, these features reduce recutting of chips and help maintain a consistent workpiece finish even under varying material batches and cutting conditions.

Application advice and system considerations

This insert is intended primarily for turning of cast iron; its universal character allows flexibility across similar grey and ductile cast iron grades. Integration into a machining system requires attention to holder geometry, clamping torque and stable workholding to exploit the T5115 advantages. Selection of feed and speed should reflect the chipbreaker style and the specific cast iron grade to balance tool life and productivity.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for? This insert is designed primarily for machining cast iron; the T5115 grade offers a balanced combination of wear resistance and edge stability for those materials.

Is the CNMG form compatible with standard holders? Yes; the rhombic CNMG geometry conforms to ISO standards and fits compatible external toolholders and boring bars when matched for size and clamping arrangement.

What benefits does the double-sided chipbreaker provide? The double-sided chipbreaker on this insert helps to control chip shape and evacuation, improving surface finish and reducing the risk of chip-related interruptions during turning operations.

Can the insert be used for internal and external turning? The geometry and thickness of the insert make it suitable for both external and internal turning tasks, provided the chosen holder offers sufficient rigidity and correct positioning.

How does the CVD coating affect tool life? The CVD coating enhances resistance to abrasive wear on the flank and rake faces, which commonly extends tool life in continuous and semi-continuous turning of cast iron.
