TNMG160404 T6215 ISO turning insert by Tungaloy

The TNMG160404 T6215 is a triangular ISO turning insert intended for external and internal turning, engineered for rostfreier Stahl under stable to lightly interrupted conditions.

• CVD-coated carbide grade T6215
• Optimised for rostfreier Stahl machining
• Double-sided chipbreaker for tool life economy
• ISO TNMG 160404 triangular format

Reliable cutting performance for rostfreier Stahl applications

The T6215 grade combines a CVD-coated surface with a robust carbide substrate to resist abrasive and adhesive wear when machining rostfreier Stahl. This coating improves thermal stability and oxidation resistance at the cutting edge, which contributes to more consistent tool life under continuous turning. The result is fewer tool changes and steadier process output, making the insert a cost-effective choice where repeatability and uptime matter. The CVD finish also supports a controlled contact zone between workpiece and tool, aiding surface quality without sacrificing edge strength.

Secure fit and ISO compatibility for predictable production

As an ISO-format insert, the TNMG form ensures straightforward compatibility with standard external holders and boring bars when matching is done by shape, clearance, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness. The TNMG160404 geometry with 0° clearance and a cylindrical hole provides reliable seating and repeatable concentricity in the clamp or screw system. A plate thickness of 4.76 mm and the triangular outline allow indexing of multiple cutting edges, reducing tooling cost per part and simplifying inventory management. For stable clamping and consistent repeatability, the recommended system comprises the ISO insert, a suitable external holder or bar, an underlay/clamp set and replacement screws.

Productivity advantages and application guidance

The double-sided chipbreaker design permits indexable use on both faces, halving consumable cost per usable edge and improving process economics. The 0.4 mm corner radius offers a compromise between edge strength and surface finish, suitable for many finishing and light-medium turning passes on rostfreier Stahl. Select the chipbreaker and grade to match the workpiece material, cutting mode and machine stability; the serrated or continuous nature of a chipformer will influence chip control and surface integrity. This insert is optimised for stable to lightly interrupted cuts—heavy interruptions require different edge preparations—so planners should align fixture rigidity and cutting parameters to maintain expected tool life and dimensional control.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The TNMG160404 T6215 is formulated primarily for machining rostfreier Stahl, offering abrasion and oxidation resistance suited to that material family.

Is the insert indexable and reversible?
Yes; the triangular TNMG form with a double-sided chipbreaker is indexable, providing multiple usable edges to reduce cost per cutting edge.

Which insert features support secure clamping?
The cylindrical hole, standard TNMG geometry and 0° clearance ensure stable seating in ISO-compatible holders and repeatable positioning when used with the recommended clamping set.

When should a different grade or chipbreaker be chosen?
For heavily interrupted cuts, very abrasive workpiece conditions, or when higher feed rates are required, an alternative grade or a different chipformer should be selected to preserve edge life and part quality.
