VNMG160412 T5115 – ISO rhombic turning insert, CVD-coated, Tungaloy

VNMG160412 T5115 is a rhombic, ISO-indexable insert for precision turning applications, designed as a universal grade for cast iron machining

• CVD-coated carbide grade T5115
• Universal grade for cast iron machining
• ISO VNMG 160412 rhombic insert
• 35° lead angle, 1.2 mm corner radius

Consistent wear control for productive cast iron turning

The T5115 grade combines a CVD-coated surface with a robust carbide substrate to deliver a practical balance between wear resistance and cutting-edge stability. This composition supports longer in-cut durations and predictable tool life in recurring turning tasks. The coating reduces built-up edge and improves thermal resistance, which in turn helps maintain surface finish and dimensional stability during series production of cast iron components.

Fast set-up and reliable holder compatibility

The ISO VNMG160412 geometry and the rhombic plate form ensure straightforward interchangeability with standard ISO external holders. The insert is supplied with a cylindrical hole, a plate thickness of 4.76 mm and a defined relief angle of 0°, which simplifies clamping and repeatable positioning. The 35° lead angle and 1.2 mm corner radius support versatile turning operations from finishing to light roughing while keeping fixture changeover times to a minimum.

Stable chip formation and economical productivity

Equipped with a double-sided chipbreaker, the insert promotes predictable chip control and extends the number of indexable edges per insert, improving cost efficiency per component. The universal design makes the grade suitable for a broad range of grey and ductile cast irons, helping to reduce tool inventory while delivering consistent surface quality. For production environments seeking process stability and reduced downtime, this insert supports repeatable results and efficient tool utilisation.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The VNMG160412 T5115 insert is formulated as a universal grade for cast iron, offering a balanced combination of wear resistance and edge stability for grey and ductile cast-iron turning.

Is the insert compatible with standard ISO VNMG holders?
Yes, the insert follows the ISO VNMG160412 specification and is compatible with standard external holders designed for VNMG inserts, provided the holder matches form, clearance angle and thickness.

How does the T5115 coating benefit production?
The CVD-coated T5115 grade improves thermal resistance and reduces built-up edge, which helps maintain consistent surface finish and extends effective in-service time per edge on cast iron.

How many usable edges does the insert provide?
The insert features a double-sided chipbreaker, enabling multiple indexable cutting edges and thereby increasing the number of usable positions before replacement is required.

What are the key geometry details to check for holder selection?
Confirm ISO designation 160412, a 1.2 mm corner radius and the 35° lead angle; also ensure the holder accepts a rhombic VNMG plate with a cylindrical hole for secure clamping.
