RCMT 0502M0 T5115 – ISO turning insert by Tungaloy, CVD-coated carbide, for turning

A RCMT0502M0 T5115 ISO-standard turning insert for external and internal turning, optimised for cast-iron machining and designed for secure clamping in ISO-compatible holders.

• ISO-standard round insert, size 05
• CVD-coated carbide grade T5115 for cast iron
• Single-sided chipbreaker with central hole
• 7° clearance angle and 2.38 mm thickness

Stable cutting performance for cast-iron turning

The combination of a CVD-coated surface and a robust carbide substrate delivers a balance between wear resistance and edge stability that suits continuous production. The T5115 grade is formulated as a universal choice for cast iron, providing reliable flank life and predictable flank wear. This leads to fewer insert changes, reduced setup time and improved process stability; the coating reduces built-up edge formation, while the substrate maintains cutting-edge integrity under mixed cutting conditions. The result is measurable productivity gains and consistent surface finish in routine turning tasks.

Fast, repeatable clamping and easy integration into ISO tool systems

Designed to the ISO plate family, the insert's round geometry and central hole with a cylindrical bore plus one-sided countersink ensure positive engagement with a wide range of ISO-compatible holders. The nominal 2.38 mm thickness and the 7° clearance angle support repeatable positioning and vibration damping during heavy cuts. These mechanical features translate into shorter tool-change cycles and predictable machining behaviour. Compatibility with standard clamping systems simplifies tooling logistics and reduces the need for special adapters.

Better chip control and economical operation

The single-sided chipbreaker provides controlled chip formation tailored to the typical cutting forces found in turning operations on cast iron. Improved chip control reduces interruption, protects workpiece integrity and minimises secondary operations for chip cleanup. Together with the durable carbide substrate and the protective CVD-coated layer, the insert supports longer intervals between indexings and lower tooling expenditure per part, making it a cost-effective choice for batch and continuous production. Application guidance and selection of the correct chipbreaker and grade keep the process efficient and reproducible.
