For reliable, cost‑efficient turning, select the PVD‑coated AH6235 grade for improved resistance to chipping in stainless steel and interrupted cuts; combine this with the 0.4 mm corner radius and 60° triangular geometry for consistent edge security and longer tool life. Order the TNMG 160404 AH6235 Tungaloy insert directly via Metav Werkzeuge or ask our consultants if needed.

TNMG 160404 AH6235 Tungaloy turning insert — PVD‑coated carbide, 60° triangle

The TNMG 160404 AH6235 is an ISO‑conforming triangular turning insert designed for external and internal turning, suited to machining stainless steel and applications with interrupted cuts.

• PVD-coated AH6235 for stainless steel
• 60° triangular geometry for secure clamping
• 0.4 mm corner radius for versatile profiles
• Double-sided chipbreaker for stable chip control

Consistent cutting performance for demanding turning operations

The combination of a PVD‑coated surface and the AH6235 grade provides a tougher, more resilient cutting edge tailored to the demands of machining stainless steel and other difficult alloys. The harder coating reduces adhesion and localised wear, while the tough substrate mitigates crack formation under load. With a 0.4 mm corner radius the insert offers controlled profile generation and reduced risk of premature chipping; this translates into fewer insert changes and improved uptime on the shop floor. Operators benefit from a balance between edge strength and finishing capability, enabling stable cycle times in serial production.

Versatility and reliability in interrupted cuts and tight tolerances

The triangular 60° geometry gives three usable cutting corners per side and a compact contact area that supports secure clamping. The double‑sided chipbreaker promotes consistent chip formation across a range of feeds and depths, easing evacuation in interrupted cuts and reducing rework. Important compatibility factors such as form, 0° clearance angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness determine fit with holders; these parameters follow ISO conventions to simplify selection. The insert’s cylindrical hole supports positive seating and repeatable positioning, contributing to process reliability and predictable surface quality.

Practical system integration and workshop advantages

The insert forms part of a standard ISO turning system: insert, matched external holder or boring bar, shim/clamping set and replacement screws. Marked by its measured dimensions and ISO designation, the component integrates readily into existing tool inventory and fixture routines. The combination of PVD coating, robust substrate and the double-sided chipbreaker reduces the frequency of tool changeovers and supports consistent surface finish in series machining. With the clear SKU and article references, planners can order spares and manage tool life economically while maintaining traceability across production batches.

FAQ

What materials is the insert suitable for?
The TNMG 160404 AH6235 is specified for machining stainless steel and is resilient in interrupted cuts; the AH6235 PVD grade improves edge stability for such materials.

How does the 0.4 mm corner radius affect application?
A 0.4 mm corner radius offers a compromise between edge strength and profile detail, allowing robust cutting in roughing and acceptable surface finish in finishing passes.

Is the insert compatible with standard ISO holders?
Yes, the triangular ISO designation and cylindrical hole are intended for ISO‑compliant holders; compatibility is confirmed by matching form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixing and plate thickness.

How many cutting edges are available per insert?
The triangular 60° geometry provides multiple usable corners; the double‑sided design further extends usable edge life before indexing.

What benefits does the AH6235 grade deliver?
The AH6235 PVD‑coated grade combines a tougher substrate with a wear‑resistant coat, reducing chipping risk and improving performance on stainless steel and applications with higher breakout potential.
