VNMG 160402 AH6225 ISO turning insert for medium rostfreier Stahl machining — Tungaloy

A VNMG160402-TSF AH6225 insert designed for external and internal turning applications, providing a sharp, stable cutting edge and consistent chip control for variable machining conditions.

• PVD-coated grade AH6225
• Optimised TSF chipbreaker
• Rhombic VNMG shape, 35° lead
• Suited for rostfreier Stahl machining

Consistent performance from PVD-coated carbide for rostfreier Stahl

The PVD-coated carbide composition of this grade (AH6225) delivers a balance between edge sharpness and wear resistance that is particularly suitable for rostfreier Stahl. The PVD layer reduces adhesion and improves thermal resistance at the cutting edge, which in practice means longer intervals between indexings and fewer unexpected tool changes. For production environments where moderate feeds and a stable compromise between finish and productivity are required, this combination supports consistent cycle times and reduced scrap rates.

Predictable chip control and holder compatibility for efficient setups

Designed as an ISO rhombic insert with a 35° lead angle and 0° clearance, the geometry and the TSF chipbreaker are tuned to produce controlled chip formation in typical turning operations. Compatibility with the toolholder depends on form, relief angle, tolerance class, attachment and insert size; the system comprises the insert, a suitable outer holder or brazed bar, clamping pads and replacement screws. The insert’s cylindrical centre hole simplifies secure fastening and repeatable seating, while the 0.2 mm corner radius supports a reliable edge for general finishing and medium roughing.

Practical benefits for productivity and process security

When used in a properly matched holder and clamping system, this insert supports better surface quality and stable cutting forces, which helps maintain constant results across batches. The combination of a sharp, stable edge and an optimised chipbreaker reduces the risk of built-up edge and improves tolerance control in serial production. Spare inserts and fastening components form part of a robust system approach, reducing downtime and enabling straightforward reconditioning of the machining process. For further clarification on holder selection or process parameters, technical advice is available to ensure optimal application of this insert in the production cell.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The VNMG160402-TSF AH6225 is specified for rostfreier Stahl and performs reliably in a broad range of stainless applications due to its PVD-coated carbide grade and chipbreaker geometry.

How does the TSF chipbreaker affect machining?
The TSF chipbreaker promotes stable chip formation and evacuation during turning; combined with the AH6225 grade it helps prevent tangled chips and supports consistent surface finish.

Which holder characteristics are required for correct fitting?
Holder compatibility is determined by insert form, relief/clearance angle, tolerance class, attachment style and insert size; ensure the holder supports a rhombic VNMG insert with a cylindrical hole and a 35° lead angle.

What does a 0° clearance angle mean for operation?
A 0° clearance indicates a neutral relief geometry suited for specific clamping systems and should be matched to the holder and cutting parameters to avoid rubbing or unintended contact.

Is this an original Tungaloy product?
The VNMG160402-TSF AH6225 is offered as an original manufacturer product from Tungaloy, ensuring specification conformity and traceability.
