WNMG 080416 AH6235 ISO turning insert — PVD-coated carbide for turning, Tungaloy

The WNMG080416-TM AH6235 is an ISO-format turning insert engineered for external and internal turning of stainless steels and other challenging materials, combining a tough PVD-coated carbide grade with a TM chipbreaker for improved chip control.

• PVD-coated AH6235 grade for stainless steel
• Trigon form WNMG with 1.6 mm corner radius
• 0° clearance angle for secure cutting
• Cylindrical centre hole for reliable clamping

Higher reliability in stainless steel and interrupted cuts

The PVD-coated cutting grade AH6235 is formulated to resist chipping and thermal degradation, making it especially suited to stainless steel and interrupted cutting conditions. The tougher carbide substrate increases resistance to fracture where surface hardness variations or interrupted engagement occur, while the PVD layer improves wear resistance and preserves the cutting edge. This combination results in fewer unplanned tool changes, a more predictable process and consistent part quality.

Stable cutting geometry for repeatable surface finish

The trigon insert geometry with a 1.6 mm corner radius and a 0° clearance angle provides a stable contact between insert and workpiece, supporting dimensional accuracy and surface integrity. The trigon form increases indexable edges per insert and helps distribute cutting forces, while the shallow corner radius balances edge strength and achievable finish. Compatibility with ISO holders is primarily determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, size and thickness; the cylindrical centre hole simplifies secure clamping and alignment in the toolholder.

Process efficiency through optimised chip control and tool life

The TM chipbreaker paired with the AH6235 grade is designed to produce controllable chips in common turning operations, reducing the risk of entanglement and enabling higher material removal rates where machine and setup stability permit. Predictable chip form and improved edge life contribute to elevated productivity and reduced cycle interruptions. For shops aiming to increase throughput, the combination of reliable edge integrity and consistent chip control supports longer runs and lower overall tooling consumption.

Practical guidance for integration and selection

As part of an ISO insert system — comprising the insert, a compatible external holder or boring bar, clamping seat and retaining screw — selection should match the chipbreaker and grade to the workpiece material, rigidity of the setup and the intended operation (roughing or finishing). Where interrupted cuts or high breakout risk exist, choose the AH6235 grade and the TM chipbreaker for enhanced toughness. For setup questions or help matching a holder, Metav Werkzeuge’s technical staff can provide tailored recommendations and supply details to ensure correct fitment.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for? The WNMG080416-TM AH6235 insert from Tungaloy is optimised for stainless steel and applications with interrupted cuts, offering enhanced toughness and wear resistance.

Can the insert be used for both external and internal turning? Yes, the ISO-format trigon insert is suitable for both external and internal turning when paired with a compatible holder; the cylindrical hole and standard form aid secure mounting.

What benefits does the AH6235 grade provide? The AH6235 PVD-coated grade offers improved resistance to chipping and thermal wear, yielding longer edge life in demanding steel turning and interrupted operations.

How does the 0° clearance angle affect performance? A 0° clearance angle enhances cutting stability and dimensional control in many turning setups, especially when rigidity is limited or when facing variable engagement.

Which chipbreaker should be chosen for roughing operations? For higher material removal and robust chip control, the TM chipbreaker on this insert is designed to manage chips effectively in roughing and interrupted conditions.
