TCMT 16T302 AH725 — Indexable turning insert by Tungaloy (for turning)

TCMT16T302-PS AH725 Tungaloy-Wendeplatte is an ISO-format indexable insert engineered for external and internal turning, offering universal, fracture-resistant performance for varied materials.

• TCMT ISO triangular insert, 16 mm size
• PVD-coated carbide grade AH725
• Fracture-resistant for Stahl and rostfreier Stahl
• Compatible with 7° relief and 60° angle holders

Reliable cutting performance with proven coating technology

The combination of PVD-coated carbide and the AH725 grade delivers a balanced wear resistance and toughness, designed for mixed-series production where material changes are common. The coating process forms a hard surface layer that reduces flank wear and increases thermal stability during interrupted cuts, which improves tool life and process reliability. For shops machining both Stahl and rostfreier Stahl, this solution reduces the risk of edge chipping while maintaining consistent tool performance and surface quality.

Simple integration into ISO turning systems for quick tool changes

As an ISO-format component, the TCMT16T302-PS designation indicates a triangular insert with the specific geometry and mounting features required for standard indexable holders. Key geometric specifications such as corner radius 0.2 mm, 3.97 mm thickness, 7° relief and the 60° included angle determine mechanical fit and cutting engagement; the insert also features a cylindrical hole with a single-sided countersink (40°–60°) for positive clamping. These measurable values support straightforward verification of compatibility with existing holders and clamping sets, minimising setup time and ensuring repeatable, safe seating during index changes.

Controlled chip flow and secure machining for higher uptime

The PS chipbreaker is matched to the insert geometry and the AH725 grade to promote predictable chip formation and evacuation in turning operations, improving surface finish and reducing the likelihood of built-up edge or machine interruptions. This indexable insert is suitable for both external and internal turning applications where stable chip control and process security are priorities. Backed by Tungaloy’s engineering, the design focuses on productive metal removal while preserving edge integrity in mixed-material production scenarios.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for stainless steels? Yes. The TCMT16T302-PS in AH725 grade is specified as a universal, fracture-resistant option for both Stahl and rostfreier Stahl, providing improved edge stability when machining mixed materials.

What does the PS chipbreaker do? The PS chipbreaker on the insert is designed to influence chip formation and evacuation during turning operations; when combined with the AH725 grade it supports consistent chip control and surface finish in general turning tasks.

How is holder compatibility determined? Compatibility depends on measurable characteristics: insert form, 7° relief, tolerance class, clamping method, 16 mm size and 3.97 mm thickness; verifying these values ensures correct seating and secure clamping of the indexable insert.

Can the insert be used for internal turning? Yes. The insert is intended for both external and internal turning; correct holder selection and appropriate cutting parameters are important for secure, stable machining.

What is indicated by the ISO code TCMT16T302-PS? The ISO code denotes the insert geometry, size and chipbreaker style; it identifies a triangular ISO insert in the 16 size class with the T302 geometry and PS chipbreaker, enabling standardised selection for compatible holders.
