CPMT 060208 AH6235 Tungaloy turning insert — PVD-coated carbide, 0.8 mm radius

A CPMT060208 AH6235 indexable insert for turning, engineered for stainless steels and interrupted cuts with a rhombic ISO geometry and single-sided chipbreaker.

• PVD-coated carbide grade AH6235
• Suited to stainless steel and interrupted cuts
• Rhombic ISO CPMT 060208, 11° clearance
• 0.8 mm corner radius, 2.38 mm thickness

Robust edge performance for interrupted cuts and stainless steel

The CPMT060208 AH6235 insert is a PVD-coated cemented carbide plate developed to reduce edge failure in high-risk conditions. The AH6235 grade is intentionally tougher, which enhances resistance to fracture during interrupted cuts and when machining stainless steels. The 0.8 mm corner radius balances edge strength and surface finish, so chip formation remains controlled while flank wear is delayed. This results in fewer tool changes and more stable cycle times on the shop floor.

Consistent process reliability through coating and geometry

A thin, uniform PVD layer improves the insert’s adhesion properties and increases resistance to built-up edge without compromising toughness. The rhombic ISO geometry and an 11° clearance support secure engagement and predictable cutting forces; the single-sided chipbreaker is designed to promote reliable chip control in typical turning operations. Together, coating and geometry contribute to steady tool life and repeatable part quality—advantages that enhance throughput and reduce unplanned downtime.

Clear mounting and system compatibility for easy integration

Compatibility is determined by form, clearance, tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness; the indexable plate is intended to be used with a matching external holder or boring bar, plus an appropriate shim/clamp set and replacement screws. Correct selection of the clamping components ensures rigid fixation and minimises vibration, which protects the cutting edge and improves surface finish. The insert’s hole and seat dimensions are compatible with standard CPMT holders when the correct tolerance class is observed.

Practical guidance for application and grade selection

The CPMT format offers an 80° approach orientation that provides a robust cutting-edge alignment for external and internal turning tasks. For interrupted cuts and components with a risk of edge breakout, the AH6235 grade is recommended due to its greater fracture resistance; for highly abrasive or continuous finishing tasks, alternative grades may be considered. When choosing corner radii, smaller values favour finer surface finishes while slightly larger radii increase edge strength—select the radius that matches the required part tolerance and machine stability.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The CPMT060208 AH6235 insert is formulated for machining stainless steels and performs well in interrupted-cut conditions due to the tougher AH6235 grade.

How does the AH6235 grade affect tool life?
The AH6235 PVD-coated grade increases edge toughness and resistance to chipping; in practice, the CPMT060208 AH6235 insert sustains more reliable performance under interrupted cuts compared with harder, more brittle grades.

Which holders are compatible with this insert?
Compatibility is governed by geometry, clearance and size; CPMT060208 inserts are mounted in matching CPMT external holders or boring bars when the holder accepts ISO CPMT 060208 plates and the correct clamp and shim are used.

What is the significance of the 0.8 mm corner radius?
A 0.8 mm corner radius offers a compromise between edge strength and surface finish—sufficient robustness for general turning while maintaining acceptable part finish on most stainless-steel applications.

Does the insert require a special chipbreaker or coolant strategy?
The single-sided chipbreaker integrated in this plate supports controlled chip formation for many turning tasks; coolant strategy depends on material and cycle, but emphasising stable clamping and appropriate feed rates reduces edge stress for the AH6235 grade.
