TNMG 160412 T5115 turning insert (ISO) – CVD-coated carbide, 60° triangle (Tungaloy)

TNMG160412 T5115 is an ISO-standard turning insert designed for external and internal turning of cast iron, offering a universal CVD-coated carbide grade for a reliable balance of wear resistance and edge stability

• TNMG 60° triangular form for robust indexing
• CVD-coated carbide grade T5115 for cast iron
• Double-sided chipbreaker for versatile turning
• 1.2 mm corner radius for consistent edge strength

High-performance coating and material for longer tool life

The combination of a CVD-coated surface and a carbide substrate provides the primary advantage in prolonged production runs. The T5115 grade is formulated as a universal option for cast iron, delivering a favourable balance between wear resistance and edge stability. The protective coating reduces abrasive wear and helps maintain a consistent cutting edge, which in turn supports predictable component tolerances and extended service intervals in serial manufacturing. This leads to fewer interruptions for insert changes and improved process efficiency.

Precise geometry and secure clamping for repeatable results

The triangular TNMG geometry with a 60° angle and a 1.2 mm corner radius yields a reliable compromise between strength and accessibility to turned contours. The insert is double-sided, enabling economical indexing, and features a cylindrical hole for positive location in compatible holders. As ISO-standardised turning inserts depend on form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness for compatibility, the specified 4.76 mm plate thickness and ISO designation ensure correct selection of mating external holders or boring bars. This precision in geometry translates into repeatable surface finishes and machining stability.

System approach for efficient workshop integration

Integration into an existing turning system is straightforward: match the insert with a suitable external holder or boring bar, add the correct clamping set and replacement screws, and select the double-sided chipbreaker style and grade matched to workpiece stability. The insert’s universality for cast iron reduces inventory complexity while maintaining flexibility for different turning tasks. For complex setups or when adapting to varied workpiece conditions, technical consultants at Metav Werkzeuge provide assistance on holder choice and process optimisation, helping to secure a cost-efficient and productive turning operation.
