TNMG160408 AH6235 Tungaloy turning insert (TNMG 160408 AH6235) for turning

TNMG160408 AH6235 Tungaloy-Wendeplatte offers a robust PVD-coated carbide grade optimised for rostfreier Stahl and interrupted cutting operations

• PVD-coated carbide for rostfreier Stahl
• Suitable for interrupted cuts and roughing
• Triangular 16 mm form with 0.8 mm radius
• Double-sided chipbreaker, with cylindrical hole

High-performance grade for demanding turning operations

The AH6235 grade, applied as a PVD-coated carbide, is engineered for stable performance when machining rostfreier Stahl and other challenging materials that increase the risk of edge breakout. The tougher substrate combined with the coating delivers improved resistance to chipping and thermal loading, which translates into longer tool life and fewer insert changes. Where interruptions in the cut occur, the tougher grade minimises unpredictable wear, ensuring consistent component dimensions and fewer scrap parts — a clear advantage for batch production and mixed-series machining.

Reduced set-up time thanks to ISO conformity and predictable compatibility

Produced to the ISO series of indexable turning plates, the insert’s form, free clearance, tolerance class, fastening style, size and thickness ensure predictable compatibility with standard holders and boring bars. The ISO 160408 designation and triangular 16 mm format make selection straightforward for engineering teams that rely on repeatable tool setups. The 0° free clearance angle and the specified plate thickness of 4.76 mm contribute to stable clamping and less vibration during heavy cuts, supporting higher material removal rates and fewer process interruptions.

Effective chip control and improved surface finish

The double-sided chipbreaker geometry combined with a 0.8 mm corner radius promotes controlled chip formation even during roughing passes, reducing the likelihood of chip entanglement and tool damage. The presence of a cylindrical hole facilitates secure fastening and quick index changes, keeping machine downtime to a minimum. For finishing operations the insert’s geometry aids in producing consistent surface quality, while the PVD coating assists in reducing built-up edge formation on rostfreier Stahl, thereby supporting tighter tolerances and reduced secondary operations.

Economical performance and machining confidence

By selecting this indexable insert, operations benefit from a balance between productivity and predictable wear behaviour. The AH6235 grade aims to reduce total machining costs through extended life and fewer interruptions for tool changes. Process engineers will appreciate the combination of a robust substrate, coating technology and standardised form that integrates into established tool families, allowing optimisation of feeds and speeds for improved throughput without compromising component quality.

FAQ

What materials is the TNMG160408 AH6235 best suited for?
The TNMG160408 AH6235 insert is formulated for rostfreier Stahl and similar materials where a tougher grade and PVD coating reduce chipping and thermal wear.

Can this insert be used in standard ISO holders?
Yes, the insert follows the ISO series for turning plates; compatibility depends on holder form, clearance, tolerance, fastening, size and thickness, which match common ISO tooling systems.

Is the insert reversible or single-use?
The TNMG160408 is double-sided, allowing indexable reversal to a second cutting edge, which extends the usable life per insert.

How does the chipbreaker design affect machining?
The double-sided chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation, improving evacuation and reducing the risk of chip-related damage, particularly in interrupted cuts.

What fastening type is featured on this insert?
The insert comes with a cylindrical hole for secure fastening in compatible clamping systems, aiding repeatable positioning and quick index changes.
