WNMG 060404 T5115 – Turning insert, CVD-coated carbide for cast iron (Tungaloy)

The WNMG060404 T5115 is an ISO-standard indexable turning insert intended for external and internal turning, offering a universal grade optimised for machining cast iron with stable chip control and repeatable performance.

*ISO-standard WNMG insert, trigon form
*CVD-coated carbide grade T5115 for cast iron
*Double-sided chipbreaker for flexible use
*0.4 mm corner radius, 80° insert angle

Consistent productivity through tailored coating and grade

The combination of a CVD-coated surface and a carbide substrate in grade T5115 delivers an optimised balance between wear resistance and edge stability, which reduces unexpected tool changes and supports steady cycle times. For operations that demand repeatable component quality, the coating reduces flank wear and helps maintain dimensional accuracy across longer runs. This makes the insert particularly suitable where a dependable compromise between life and finish is required, rather than an extreme focus on either parameter alone.

Design features that simplify set-up and increase utilisation

An ISO-standard trigonal insert with a cylindrical hole and double-sided chipbreaker provides straightforward compatibility with a wide range of external holders and boring bars, subject to matching form, clearance and tolerance class. The 0.4 mm corner radius and 80° insert angle offer a versatile cutting geometry that supports both finishing and medium-depth turning passes. Because the insert is double-sided, indexing is quick and inventory efficiency is improved, reducing tooling cost per component over time.

Practical machining advice for better outcomes

For best results in cast-iron turning select a chipbreaker and cutting data aligned with material grade and machine rigidity; the double-sided chipbreaker assists in producing short, manageable chips when combined with appropriate feeds. The trigonal shape ensures a stable seating in the pocket and good support under radial cutting forces. When tool life is critical, monitor flank wear and rotate the insert at planned intervals to exploit the full number of cutting edges. For aluminium or non-ferrous components, consider a grade optimised for lower adhesion; this insert is engineered primarily for cast-iron applications.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The WNMG060404 T5115 is a universal grade designed primarily for machining cast iron; the CVD-coated carbide composition supports balanced wear resistance and edge stability in such applications.

Is the insert compatible with standard WNMG holders?
Compatibility depends on holder form, clearance angle, tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness; the trigonal ISO form and cylindrical hole support use with common WNMG external holders when these parameters match.

How many cutting edges are available per insert?
As a double-sided trigonal insert, this design provides multiple indexable edges; the exact count follows the ISO geometry and the number of usable sides per indexing cycle.

What benefit does the CVD coating offer in daily production?
The CVD coating enhances flank and crater wear resistance, extending service life and improving consistency in series production compared with uncoated grades.

Can this insert be used for finishing and roughing operations?
Yes; the 0.4 mm corner radius and 80° angle make the insert versatile for finishing and medium-depth passes, but cutting data should be adjusted according to stability and component tolerance.
