TNMG 160412 T6215 – ISO triangular turning insert for stainless steel, Tungaloy

The TNMG160412 T6215 is an ISO-format triangular turning insert engineered for productive external and internal turning of stainless steels in stable to lightly interrupted cutting conditions.

• CVD-coated carbide grade T6215
• Optimised for stainless steel turning
• Triangle ISO form with 60° cutting angle
• 1.2 mm corner radius for robust cutting edges
• Double-sided chipbreaker, cylindrical hole

Consistent cutting performance for stainless steel

The insert’s CVD-coated carbide construction provides a balanced combination of wear resistance and toughness, making it suitable for rostfreier Stahl / stainless steel machining where built-up edge and thermal softening are concerns. The applied coating reduces flank wear and helps maintain a stable cutting edge over extended cycles, which translates to fewer indexings and improved process economy. As a result, parts tolerances remain consistent and tool-change frequency is minimised, supporting continuous production runs.

Secure clamping and stable tool engagement

With an ISO triangular form and a 60° cutting angle, the geometry offers repeatable seating in compatible holders; the cylindrical hole and 4.76 mm plate thickness contribute to reliable clamping and reduced vibration. The 1.2 mm corner radius gives a sturdy edge for moderate depths of cut while the double-sided arrangement delivers multiple effective cutting edges per insert, improving usable life and lowering tooling costs per component.

Practical advantages of the T6215 grade and chip control

The T6215 grade was selected for its balance between wear resistance and edge stability in stainless steel applications. The double-sided chipbreaker supports predictable chip formation and evacuation during turning, reducing the risk of chip entanglement and surface damage. For production settings where reproducible surface finish and process stability matter most, this combination helps to sustain cycle times and contributes to consistent part quality.

Application guidance and system compatibility

Designed as part of an ISO turning insert system, the insert is intended to be used with matching external holders or boring bars; compatibility is determined by insert shape, clearance angle, tolerance class, mounting method, size and thickness. Typical uses include external and internal turning; selecting the appropriate chipbreaker and grade according to workpiece material and machining stability will ensure optimal results. For less experienced teams, specifying the holder geometry and clamping accessories together simplifies setup and reduces trial-and-error.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for?
The TNMG160412 T6215 insert is formulated primarily for stainless steel turning; the T6215 grade supports wear resistance and edge stability in that material group.

How many cutting edges are available per insert?
As a double-sided triangular insert, the TNMG160412 offers multiple indexable cutting edges, which improves overall edge economy and reduces tooling costs per part.

Which holders are compatible with this ISO insert?
Compatibility depends on holder form, clearance angle, tolerance class, mounting method, size and thickness; use ISO-compatible holders designed for 60° triangular inserts for reliable clamping of the TNMG160412.

Can the TNMG160412 T6215 handle interrupted cuts?
The T6215 grade is intended for stable to lightly interrupted cutting conditions; for heavy interruptions, a different grade or edge preparation may be recommended.

What benefits does the CVD coating provide?
The CVD-coated carbide offers enhanced wear resistance and thermal stability during stainless steel turning, helping to reduce flank wear and maintain surface quality.
