TNMA160404 T5105 indexable turning insert — CVD-coated carbide, 0.4 mm corner radius (Tungaloy)

TNMA160404 T5105 is an ISO-format, triangular indexable insert designed for turning; optimised for high-speed machining of cast iron under stable setup conditions.

• CVD-coated carbide for high-speed machining
• Triangle form with 60° cutting angle
• 0.4 mm corner radius for profile versatility
• Cylindrical central hole for secure clamping

Optimised for high-speed turning of cast iron

The CVD-coated carbide grade T5105 is formulated to deliver wear resistance and stable performance at elevated cutting speeds, making it suitable for demanding cast iron operations. The coating reduces abrasive and adhesive wear on the cutting edge, so tool life is extended and surface finish consistency is improved. In practical terms, this means fewer tool changes and more productive machining cycles when the setup is rigid and cutting parameters are adjusted to the material's requirements.

Secure fit and dimensional clarity for predictable results

Compatibility with toolholders is determined by the insert's form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; this indexable insert provides clear, standardised dimensions to ensure correct seating. The plate measures an inscribed circle of 16 mm, a thickness of 4.76 mm, and a 60° included angle, with a 0° clearance angle and a cylindrical central hole for positive clamping. The 0.4 mm corner radius permits light profiling while maintaining edge strength, and the triangular shape facilitates three indexing positions per insert for efficient use of cutting edges.

Application flexibility and practical machining guidance

Delivered without a chipbreaker, the insert is intended for environments where chip control and cutting strategy are defined by the machining task and the selected holder. Typical applications include both external and internal turning; the insert is best employed where rigidity is high and cutting forces are predictable. For optimal results, a chip control solution and cutting parameters should be matched to the material, process stability and required surface quality. The system concept comprises the ISO insert plus a compatible external holder or boring bar, shims/clamps and replacement screws for a complete tooling setup.

Production advantages and handling considerations

Adopting this triangular indexable insert supports repeatable performance and reduced downtime through quick indexing and standardised geometry. The carbide substrate with CVD finish offers a balance between edge robustness and run-to-run consistency, which is particularly valuable in batch production and serial machining of cast components. For toolroom planning, note that holder selection must match the insert form, thickness and hole style to guarantee safe clamping and repeatable axial and radial positioning of the cutting edge.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The Tungaloy TNMA160404 T5105 insert is aimed primarily at cast iron machining under stable conditions; the T5105 grade is formulated for wear resistance at high cutting speeds.

Is a chipbreaker included with the insert?
The insert is supplied without a chipbreaker; chip control must be provided by the chosen holder or a dedicated chipbreaker version if required for the process.

How is the insert secured in the holder?
The triangular insert is located and clamped via its cylindrical central hole and must be used with a compatible clamping system and holder matched to the insert's form, thickness and tolerance class.

What advantage does the 0.4 mm corner radius offer?
A 0.4 mm corner radius provides a compromise between edge strength and the ability to produce small profiles or radiused contours while maintaining reasonable cutting-edge robustness.

Can this insert be used for internal turning?
Yes, the insert is suitable for both external and internal turning, provided the holder and setup ensure sufficient rigidity and correct chip evacuation.
