DNMG150404 T5115 Tungaloy turning insert — 55° rhombic, 0.4 mm radius

A DNMG150404 T5115 indexable insert designed for external and internal turning, offering robust performance for cast iron machining.

• CVD-coated carbide T5115 for cast iron
• 55° rhombic geometry for versatile turning
• 0.4 mm corner radius for edge strength
• Double-sided chipbreaker, cylindrical hole

High wear resistance and reliable edge stability for cast iron

The DNMG150404 T5115 turning insert is a CVD-coated carbide grade formulated for consistent performance on cast iron. The grade balances wear resistance and edge toughness, reducing the frequency of insert changes and supporting longer tool life under interrupted cuts. The coating improves resistance to abrasive wear and thermal loading during heavy cuts, which helps maintain dimensional accuracy and surface quality. This translates into fewer tool changes, lower downtime and a measurable improvement in process efficiency when machining grey and nodular cast irons.

Straightforward ISO integration and secure clamping for stable runs

Compatibility with standard ISO holders is determined by insert form, relief angle, tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness. The rhombic shape with a 55° included angle and a 0° relief makes the insert adaptable to common turning holders; the 4.76 mm plate thickness and 15 mm size provide a solid seating area while the cylindrical hole enables reliable fixation with standard screws and clamps. These characteristics support stable toolholding and predictable tool life. Selection of a matching holder and appropriate clamping torque ensures consistent chip control and repeatable results in both external and internal turning operations.

Process stability, chip control and economical edge usage

The double-sided chipbreaker design delivers controlled chip formation and allows indexation to use multiple cutting edges before disposal, improving cost-efficiency per edge. The 0.4 mm corner radius offers a compromise between strength and surface finish, suitable for medium to heavy finishing cuts where edge robustness is required. In practice, the insert contributes to improved productivity through longer intervals between tool changes and stable machining behaviour.
