TCMT090204 T5115 ISO turning insert, CVD-coated carbide, 60° triangle — Tungaloy

A TCMT090204 T5115 indexable insert designed for general turning, especially for economical and reliable machining of cast iron components

• CVD-coated carbide grade T5115
• 60° triangular insert geometry
• 7° clearance angle for secure cutting
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink
• Single-sided chipbreaker for cast iron

Higher uptime through balanced wear resistance

This insert is supplied in a CVD-coated carbide grade formulated as T5115, which provides a measured compromise between wear resistance and edge strength. The coating reduces flank wear under interrupted cuts and helps maintain surface finish over extended tool life, making the insert suitable for stable production runs. Thanks to the combination of coating and substrate, abrasive wear is controlled while the cutting edge retains integrity during heavy engagement, supporting predictable tool-change intervals and lower overall machining costs.

Easy integration with ISO turning systems

Compatibility with holders is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, attachment method, size and thickness; these parameters are standardised for ISO turning inserts. The 60° triangular geometry and the specified thickness allow simple pairing with matching external holders or boring bars. The inclusion of a cylindrical mounting hole with a single-sided countersink (40°–60°) ensures reliable clamping and repeatable locating in the seat. This standardised approach simplifies inventory management and reduces setup time on the shop floor.

Improved chip control and stable cutting results

The insert’s single-sided chipbreaker is tailored to promote controlled chip formation when machining cast iron, reducing the risk of long, tangled chips and facilitating consistent evacuation. A 0.4 mm corner radius softens the cutting edge for interrupted cuts without sacrificing edge life, while the 7° clearance minimises rubbing at the flank. The triangular shape affords multiple indexable edges, enhancing cost efficiency by allowing rotation to fresh cutting corners when required. Together, these features lead to steady surface quality and reliable cycle times.

Selection and application guidance for production use

When selecting an insert from the ISO series, it is advisable to match the chipbreaker and grade to the workpiece material, machining strategy and machine stability. For operations on cast iron, the T5115 grade is a practical choice because it balances edge stability with wear resistance. For further application data, cutting parameters or to confirm holder compatibility, technical support is available and additional specifications can be supplied on request; Metav Werkzeuge provides product advice and inventory checks to assist with process planning.
