TCMT 110304 AH6235 Turning insert by Tungaloy — PVD-coated carbide, 60° geometry

The TCMT110304 AH6235 is an ISO triangular indexable insert designed for external and internal turning, optimised for stainless steels and interrupted cuts.

• ISO triangular insert, 60° geometry
• PVD-coated AH6235 for stainless steel
• 0.4 mm corner radius for precise profiling
• One-sided chipbreaker for controlled chips

Improved process reliability for stainless steel turning

The PVD-coated AH6235 grade delivers a tougher cutting edge that reduces chipping during interrupted cuts and unstable setups. With a 60° insert geometry and a 0.4 mm corner radius, the cutting edge produces consistent engagement and predictable tool life, which supports steady cycle times and fewer unexpected stoppages. The PVD layer enhances wear resistance and heat tolerance, meaning longer periods between indexings and reduced tool change labour — a clear efficiency gain in high-mix turning operations.

Practical compatibility and mounting advantages

This ISO-design insert conforms to standard holder interfaces; compatibility depends on insert shape, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness. The insert thickness of 3.18 mm and triangular form suit many common external holders and boring bars, while the central hole with a cylindrical bore and single-side countersink (40°–60°) ensures secure clamping. Specifying holders that match the insert form and tolerance reduces vibration and improves surface finish, so machining set-up becomes faster and more repeatable for production batches.

Chip control and surface quality for demanding components

Equipped with a one-sided chipbreaker, the insert promotes effective chip formation when machining ductile and work-hardened stainless steels. The tougher grade and optimised chipformer reduce the risk of built-up edge and edge fracture, which helps to maintain dimensional accuracy and a consistent surface finish. For shops aiming to balance productivity with part quality, this indexable solution delivers improved process stability and fewer reworks, especially on interrupted or unstable cuts where conventional grades would fail sooner.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for? The AH6235 grade is formulated for machining stainless steel, and the TCMT110304 insert is particularly effective in interrupted cuts and situations with increased risk of edge breakout.

How does the PVD coating affect tool life? The PVD-coated surface on this carbide grade improves wear resistance and heat tolerance, extending the effective life of the insert under typical turning conditions.

Which holder types fit this insert? Compatibility depends on holder form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness; the insert is intended for standard ISO triangular turning holders and compatible boring bars.

Can the insert be used for finishing as well as roughing? The insert’s tougher grade and controlled chipbreaking make it suitable for a balance of roughing and semi-finishing; achieving fine finishes may require optimised cutting parameters and stable clamping.
