TNMG160402 AH8015 turning insert by Tungaloy — PVD-coated carbide, 0.2 mm corner radius

A TNMG160402 AH8015 indexable insert designed for general turning of heat‑resistant alloys, offering balanced wear resistance and reliable cutting-edge stability for industrial applications

• ISO triangular insert TNMG geometry
• PVD-coated carbide grade AH8015
• 0.2 mm corner radius for fine profiles
• Double-sided insert with cylindrical hole

Increase productivity with predictable tool life

The triangular ISO indexable insert is engineered for repeatable performance in industrial turning. With a PVD-coated carbide substrate and the AH8015 grade, the geometry combines wear resistance and edge stability to reduce rework and tool change frequency. The hardened coating lowers adhesive wear at elevated temperatures, which translates into more consistent cycle times. These characteristics help to maintain production flow and reduce downtime in batch and continuous machining.

Achieve reliable chip control and surface quality

The integrated double-sided chipbreaker provides controlled chip formation for turning tasks, improving evacuation and reducing the risk of built-up edge. The modest 0.2 mm corner radius supports fine profile work and better surface finishes without compromising edge strength. For operators seeking a balance between detail and robustness, this configuration yields stable feed behaviour and a consistent machined surface in demanding materials.

Compatibility and mounting explained for safe use

Compatibility depends on the insert form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The insert’s 4.76 mm thickness and triangular shape require a matching external holder or boring bar with the correct seating and clamping kit. The presence of a cylindrical hole ensures secure fastening using the appropriate screw and shim set. Checking these parameters before installation prevents misalignment and supports repeatable, safe tool changes.

Material focus and recommended applications

The AH8015 grade is optimised as a first choice for general machining of heat‑resistant alloys, offering a compromise between hardness and toughness for prolonged cutting under elevated temperatures. This insert is intended specifically for turning, covering both external and internal operations when paired with the correct holder. Selecting the right chipbreaker and grade for the workpiece material and machining stability ensures effective removal rates and reduces the likelihood of thermal damage.

System integration and workshop guidance

An ISO insert system typically comprises the indexable insert, a compatible toolholder or boring bar, a support shim or clamping set, and the correct replacement screws. Proper selection and assembly, together with the AH8015 cutting grade, enable consistent results across a range of setups. For tailored recommendations on holder compatibility, feeds and speeds for specific alloys, the supplier can provide machining tables and practical advice to integrate the insert into an existing process.

FAQ

What materials is this insert optimised for?
The TNMG160402 AH8015 insert is optimised for the general machining of heat‑resistant alloys; the AH8015 grade balances wear resistance and edge stability for demanding turning operations.

Is the insert reversible and what does double‑sided mean?
Yes — the triangular TNMG design with a double‑sided chipbreaker provides multiple indexed cutting edges, allowing rotation to a fresh edge and economical use of the insert.

How is compatibility with toolholders determined?
Compatibility is defined by insert form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening type, size and thickness; check that the holder accepts ISO 160402 geometry and 4.76 mm thickness for correct seating.

Does the insert have a coating and what benefit does it offer?
The insert features a PVD-coated carbide construction; the coating improves wear resistance at higher temperatures and supports longer tool life in continuous turning.

What accessories are required for mounting and use?
A matching external holder or boring bar, the correct shim/clamping set and replacement screws are required to secure the insert and ensure repeatable clamping and alignment.
