TNMG 160404 T5115 Turning Insert — Indexable Turning Insert for Turning — Tungaloy

A TNMG160404 T5115 indexable turning insert, designed for external and internal turning with a CVD-coated carbide grade that balances wear resistance and edge stability for cast iron machining.

• CVD-coated carbide grade T5115
• Universal for cast iron machining
• Triangular TNMG form, 60° cutting angle

Reliable edge stability for cast iron turning

The CVD-coated carbide grade T5115 is formulated to provide a consistent balance between wear resistance and cutting-edge robustness when machining cast iron. This composition reduces flank wear and helps maintain surface finish over extended tool life, which translates into fewer insert changes and more stable cycle times. The 0.4 mm nose radius supports a good compromise between strength and profile accuracy, allowing controlled chip formation without sacrificing dimensional stability on external and internal turning operations.

ISO compatibility and secure clamping for predictable productivity

Designed to the ISO-standard insert geometry, the triangular profile with a 60° included angle ensures wide compatibility with standard TNMG holders and boring bars. Compatibility depends on matching the insert form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; the insert features a cylindrical hole for secure screw clamping and a double-sided chipbreaker for alternating use. The ISO conformity simplifies replacement logistics and contributes to predictable manufacturing results by minimising setup variation and ensuring repeatable clamping.

Practical system advantages that reduce downtime

Using an indexable insert system around this triangular insert reduces regrind cycles and inventory complexity. The componentised approach — insert, suitable external holder or boring bar, shim/clamp set and replacement screws — enables rapid index changes and simple stock management. The combination of a double-sided geometry and a robust substrate delivers economic machining: fewer interruptions for tool changes and a reliable path to consistent part quality. If uncertainty remains about holder selection or process parameters, technical advice and machining data are available to refine cutting conditions and extend tool life.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert suited for? The TNMG 160404 T5115 insert is a universal grade optimised for cast iron machining, providing balanced wear resistance and edge stability for typical turning applications.

Can the insert be clamped in standard TNMG holders? Yes, the insert follows ISO geometry for TNMG forms; clamping is performed via the cylindrical hole and requires a holder that matches form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness.

Is the chipformer reversible or indexable on both sides? The insert provides a double-sided chipbreaker, allowing indexing to a fresh cutting edge and extending usable life before replacement.

What edge preparation and nose radius are available on this insert? This insert features a 0.4 mm nose radius, which offers a compromise between edge strength and profile precision for general turning operations.

How does the CVD coating benefit machining performance? The CVD-coated surface enhances wear resistance at elevated temperatures and improves edge life, particularly when machining abrasive cast iron materials.
