Consistent cutting performance for stainless-steel turning

The PVD-coated carbide grade AH6225 is formulated to deliver a sharp yet durable cutting edge, making it a dependable choice for medium-duty operations where conditions vary. The coating improves wear resistance and heat tolerance, which translates into fewer tool changes and steadier batch throughput. As a result, production runs on stainless parts benefit from more consistent component surfaces and predictable tool life, supporting cycle-time stability and reduced process variance.

Secure seating and straightforward clamping for fast changeovers

Designed to the ISO insert family, the geometry and dimensions of this rhombic insert ensure clear guidance for holder compatibility: form, tolerance class, fastening and thickness determine the correct seat. The insert features a centre hole with a cylindrical bore and a one-sided countersink (40°–60°), enabling precise location and reliable screw clamping. With a thickness of 3.18 mm and an insert size of 11 mm, the component is straightforward to fit into standard ISO external holders, which minimises setup time and mechanical run-out risk.

Geometry that balances finish and edge strength

A 0.2 mm nose radius combined with a 5° clearance angle offers a compromise between edge robustness and achievable surface finish. The modest radius reduces cutting forces and vibration on medium-duty passes while still delivering acceptable part appearance, whereas the clearance angle helps prevent rubbing and built-up edge formation. The integrated PS chipbreaker keeps chips controlled under changing feed and cut depth conditions, which supports uninterrupted machining and easier swarf handling on the shop floor.

Operational advantages: fewer variants, higher uptime

Choosing a universal grade and a widely used ISO geometry reduces tool assortment complexity and simplifies inventory management. The insert’s balanced properties support frequent batch changes and mixed production schedules common in job shops and subcontract machining. If specific edge preferences or alternative chip control are required, the standard design still allows quick swapping within existing ISO toolholder systems, preserving machine uptime and enhancing overall process reliability.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for machining stainless steels?
Yes. The VBMT110302-PS AH6225 insert from Tungaloy is specifically designed as a universal grade for stainless steels, offering a combination of edge sharpness and stability for medium-duty turning.

Can the insert be used for both external and internal turning?
Yes. The ISO rhombic geometry and the PS chipbreaker make the insert suitable for external and internal turning applications, provided the selected holder matches the VBMT seat and tolerance.

How does the centre hole and countersink affect clamping?
The cylindrical bore with a one-sided countersink (40°–60°) ensures accurate axial location and secure screw clamping, improving repeatability when fitting the insert into compatible ISO holders.

What benefits does the 0.2 mm nose radius deliver?
A 0.2 mm nose radius balances surface finish and edge strength, reducing cutting forces and vibration while maintaining acceptable component appearance on medium-duty passes.

Which chipbreaker is fitted and why is it useful?
The insert is equipped with a PS chipbreaker; this chip control geometry helps form stable chips under varying cutting conditions and supports reliable swarf evacuation during turning.
