TNMA160416 T5115 Tungaloy turning insert — ISO triangular insert for turning

The TNMA160416 T5115 is an ISO‑standard triangular turning insert designed for external and internal turning applications, offering a universal CVD‑coated carbide grade optimised for cast‑iron machining.

• CVD‑coated carbide grade T5115
• Optimised for cast‑iron machining
• TNMA 60° triangular geometry
• Cylindrical hole, corner radius 1.6 mm

Greater process reliability through proven carbide performance

The CVD‑coated carbide composition of this triangular indexable insert delivers a balanced combination of wear resistance and edge stability, which is especially valuable when machining cast iron. The coating supports consistent cutting action across a range of cutting conditions, reducing unexpected tool changes and contributing to predictable cycle times. Built to ISO standards, the insert integrates with common external holders and boring bars, simplifying procurement and replacement planning while maintaining part quality.

Achieve stable cutting and consistent surface finish

The 60° triangular geometry and a corner radius of 1.6 mm provide a robust cutting edge that resists chipping under moderate interruptions and variable feeds. The blunt relief angle of 0° and the standard triangular form help maintain cutting force distribution, which in turn supports a reliable surface finish on turned components. Selecting the appropriate grade and edge radius enables a targeted balance between tool life and dimensional accuracy for high‑volume or batch turning tasks.

Designed for straightforward integration and predictable inventory

ISO‑specified dimensions and the cylindrical hole fastening make the insert straightforward to locate and secure in compatible tool holders; compatibility is governed by insert form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. This clarity reduces setup time during tool changes and simplifies stock management: holders and clamping sets can be standardised around ISO‑type inserts, lowering procurement complexity and enabling faster changeovers at the machine.

Practical choice for cast‑iron turning with flexible application

As a universal grade for cast iron, the T5115 sort combines economical cutting performance with reliable chip behaviour in many turning scenarios. The triangular indexable design without an integrated chipbreaker offers flexibility to match chip control to the machining strategy—choose a suitable chipformer or adjust process parameters according to material, depth of cut and rigidity. The insert’s ISO designation ensures that replacement is predictable and that repeat orders match existing tooling systems.
