VNMG160402-TSF AH8015 — ISO turning insert with PVD-coated carbide, Tungaloy

The VNMG160402-TSF AH8015 is a rhombic ISO turning insert designed for external and internal turning of heat‑resistant alloys, offering a balance of wear resistance and edge stability for general machining.

• PVD-coated AH8015 grade
• For heat‑resistant alloys
• Rhombic ISO form VNMG 35°
• TSF chipbreaker, 0.2 mm corner radius

Reliable ISO form and simple holder compatibility

The insert follows the ISO VNMG geometry, which makes integration into existing tool systems predictable and efficient. The rhombic plate geometry combined with a 35° approach produces consistent cutting forces and facilitates access in confined areas. Compatibility depends on form, clearance angle, tolerance class, attachment and plate thickness; these standardised parameters simplify holder selection and reduce setup time. Clear mechanical interfaces and the cylindrical hole ensure secure clamping and repeatable positioning, supporting uninterrupted production runs.

Durable PVD‑coated carbide for consistent performance

The AH8015 grade is a PVD‑coated carbide selected as a first choice for general turning of heat‑resistant alloys, offering an advantageous compromise between wear resistance and cutting‑edge stability. The coating improves resistance to abrasive and adhesive wear at elevated temperatures, which extends service life and maintains a reliable cutting geometry. As a result, operators benefit from fewer insert changes and a steadier surface finish over longer batches, translating into improved process efficiency and lower overall tooling consumption.

Controlled chips and improved process reliability

The TSF chipbreaker is designed to shape chips for safe evacuation during both external and internal turning. Combined with the 0.2 mm corner radius, it promotes predictable chip formation and reduces the risk of chatter or surface defects under stable set‑ups. Selecting the appropriate chipbreaker and grade according to the workpiece material, machining strategy and machine rigidity leads to better material removal rates and minimised downtime for chip‑related interruptions, thereby supporting a more reliable production flow.

System setup and application guidance for consistent results

For a productive tooling system, pair the insert with a matched external holder or boring bar, a suitable underlay/shim and the correct clamping screws. The insert’s 0° clearance angle influences the effective rake and contact conditions at the cutting edge and should be considered when defining cutting parameters. The modest 0.2 mm corner radius offers a balance between edge strength and the ability to achieve fine surface finishes. The VNMG160402‑TSF AH8015 is supplied as an ISO‑standard plate ready for integration into conventional turning tool assemblies, ensuring straightforward part interchangeability and predictable machining behaviour.
