WNMG060408 AH6235 Tungaloy insert — PVD-coated carbide, trigon ISO turning insert

The WNMG060408 AH6235 Tungaloy insert is a robust ISO-format indexable turning insert intended for external and internal turning, optimised for stainless steel and interrupted cutting operations

• PVD-coated carbide AH6235 for stainless steel
• Trigon shape, 80° cutting face
• 0.8 mm corner radius for edge strength
• Double-sided chipbreaker with cylindrical hole

Improved process security for challenging materials

The combination of a PVD-coated surface and the AH6235 grade provides higher resistance to built-up edge and fracture tendency when machining stainless steel; this yields more consistent cutting forces and better reproducibility across batches. Using a tougher, PVD-protected carbide means fewer unexpected tool failures and longer productive cycles, which directly supports stable cycle times and reduced downtime. The coating also aids in thermal protection during heavier cuts, helping maintain a reliable surface finish without aggressive parameter reductions.

Geometry that enhances stability and service life

A trigon plate form with an 80° approach reduces cutting edge exposure while improving support in the pocket, and the 0.8 mm corner radius increases chipping resistance where interrupted cuts occur. The insert’s relief angle 0° and 4.76 mm thickness contribute to secure clamping and torsional stiffness in both solid holders and boring bars. The double-sided chipbreaker extends indexable life and maintains predictable chip formation; the cylindrical hole format simplifies correct seating and repeatable clamping, enabling efficient indexing and economical use of each cutting edge.

Practical integration and application guidance for the workshop

As part of the ISO turning insert family, compatibility with a toolholder depends on form, relief, tolerance class, fastening and thickness; select holders and clamps that match the plate dimensions to ensure optimal seating. Choose the chipbreaker and AH6235 grade combination according to workpiece stability and whether the operation is finishing or roughing. For intermittent cuts or uncertain material batches, the tougher AH6235 grade reduces the likelihood of premature corner failure. For setup or holder recommendations contact the technical team for tailored advice to match cutting data, speeds and feeds.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert best suited for?
The WNMG060408 AH6235 Tungaloy insert is formulated for machining stainless steel and other demanding alloys where a tougher grade reduces edge breakage.

How does the AH6235 grade affect cutting performance?
AH6235’s PVD-coated carbide combines toughness and thermal protection, improving performance in interrupted cuts and reducing the frequency of edge chipping on the Tungaloy turning insert.

Is the insert compatible with standard ISO holders?
Compatibility is determined by the plate form, relief, tolerance and thickness; the WNMG060408 dimensioning follows ISO norms but correct holder selection is required for optimal clamping.

What advantages does the trigon shape and 0.8 mm radius provide?
The trigon form and 0.8 mm corner radius increase edge strength and allow economical indexing, improving tool life and providing stable cutting in operations prone to vibration.
