TPMN 160312 T5115 — TPMN indexable insert for turning, Tungaloy

The TPMN160312 T5115 is a triangular ISO indexable insert for turning, designed as a universal grade for cast iron machining and supplied by Tungaloy.

• CVD-coated carbide T5115
• Triangle ISO insert, 16 mm size
• 11° relief angle for stable cutting
• Universal grade for cast iron machining

Improved wear resistance for predictable cycle times

The CVD‑coated carbide grade T5115 delivers a balance between wear resistance and edge stability, which directly supports longer tool life and fewer interruptions in production. The combination of a 1.2 mm corner radius and the CVD surface layer reduces edge chipping during interrupted cuts and heavy engagement, enabling steadier material removal rates. Operators benefit from reduced regrinding frequency and more predictable tooling intervals, which supports production planning and reduces unplanned downtime.

Simple integration into ISO turning tool systems

This insert follows the ISO designation and a triangular geometry, so compatibility with standard external holders and boring bars is primarily determined by form, relief angle, tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness. The TPMN160312 format (16 mm across flats, 3.18 mm thickness) fits common clamping systems; the absence of a hole and the flat underside mean a direct seat on the holder or clamp set. Specifying the correct holder and replacement screws ensures secure mounting and stable cutting conditions.

Productivity advantages for cast iron applications

As a universal grade for cast iron, the T5115 substrate offers good chip control and a consistent cutting edge in a range of machining conditions. While no dedicated chipbreaker is supplied in this geometry, the insert’s edge form and corner radius support controlled chip formation when paired with a matching insert seat and cutting parameters. The CVD coating adds hardness at the cutting face, improving abrasion resistance on abrasive cast iron grades and supporting higher metal removal rates where process stability permits.

Practical guidance and application notes

For turning operations, select the insert geometry and grade to match workpiece rigidity, machine power and feed requirements. The triangular plate provides three usable edges, increasing yield per insert. Where interrupted cuts or unstable clamping are present, consider increasing clearance or using a larger corner radius; for fine finishing, reduce feed and adjust approach angles to maintain surface quality. If compatibility or parameter selection is uncertain, discuss holder options and recommended cutting data before production to ensure optimal results.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The Tungaloy TPMN160312 T5115 insert is specified as a universal grade for cast iron and is suited to external and internal turning tasks where a balanced wear resistance and edge stability are required.

How many cutting edges are available per insert?
The triangular geometry provides three usable cutting edges; rotating the plate to a fresh corner restores cutting performance without changing the insert type.

Does the insert include a chipbreaker?
This specific plate is supplied without a chipbreaker; chip control is achieved through cutting parameters and match to holder geometry for the intended cast iron application.

Which holders are compatible with this ISO format?
Compatibility depends on form, relief angle, tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness; standard external holders and boring bars that accept TPMN‑style plates and a 3.18 mm thickness are typically suitable.

What are the key dimensional specifications to check before ordering?
Confirm the plate designation (TPMN 160312), plate size (16 mm), thickness (3.18 mm), corner radius (1.2 mm) and the 11° relief angle to ensure match with the chosen holder.
