DNMG150604 T5115 Tungaloy indexable turning insert — CVD-coated carbide, 55° rhombic geometry

DNMG150604 T5115 is an ISO-standard indexable turning insert designed for efficient external and internal turning operations, especially where cast iron performance and chip control are priorities.

• CVD-coated carbide for long tool life
• Universal grade for cast iron machining
• 55° rhombic shape for versatile applications
• Double-sided chipbreaker and with hole

Consistent performance for cast iron turning

The combination of a CVD-coated carbide substrate and a universal grade makes this indexable insert particularly effective for cast iron applications. The coating enhances wear resistance and thermal stability, which translates into longer tool life and fewer insert changes during production runs. For operations requiring predictable tool behaviour and consistent surface finish, the insert’s engineered edge and coating provide a balance between edge stability and abrasion resistance, helping to maintain productivity and reduce unplanned downtime.

Clear compatibility and simple mounting

Built to ISO dimensions, the insert fits conventional turning holders when the form, relief angle and tolerance class match the toolholder specification. The 55° rhombic geometry and the provision of a central cylindrical hole ensure secure clamping and straightforward indexability. Because the insert is double-sided, two cutting edges are available per index, improving cost-effectiveness per edge and simplifying inventory management. When replacing inserts, checking holder compatibility for form, size and thickness avoids installation errors and keeps changeover times short.

Practical advantages for workshop processes

The 0° relief angle and defined corner radius support stable cutting conditions on a variety of cast iron grades: the moderate corner radius reduces cutting forces while preserving edge life. The insert’s 6.35 mm thickness contributes to rigidity under cutting loads, reducing vibration and improving surface integrity when facing or profiling. Selecting a matching chipbreaker and cutting parameters adapted to the workpiece material ensures efficient chip evacuation and reduces the risk of built-up edge. For users seeking dependable performance in repetitive turning operations, this geometry and grade combine to offer measurable productivity gains.

Suitable applications and handling recommendations

Ideal for both external and internal turning, this insert performs well in finishing and semi-finishing passes on cast iron components where repeatable surface quality is required. The rhombic shape enables a wide range of approach angles on lathes and turn-mill centres, while the double-sided design supports economical index changes. For best results, pair the insert with a stable, correctly sized holder and set feeds and speeds according to the material grade and machine rigidity; the insert’s CVD-coated carbide construction tolerates elevated cutting temperatures, allowing higher cutting speeds than uncoated grades in many cast iron applications.
