TNMG160402 T9225 turning insert — CVD-coated carbide, 60° triangle, Tungaloy

TNMG160402 T9225 is a CVD-coated carbide turning insert for medium-to-heavy steel turning, engineered for robust chip control and repeatable performance in varying cut conditions

• CVD-coated carbide for robust performance
• ISO TNMG160402 triangular form, 60°
• 0.2 mm nose radius for accurate profiling
• Double-sided chipbreaker with cylindrical hole

Precision for varying turning tasks and stable cut conditions

The insert is produced in a CVD-coated carbide grade T9225, specified for reliable performance in medium-to-heavy steel turning where variable engagement or slightly interrupted cuts demand added toughness. The triangular ISO TNMG160402 geometry with a 60° included angle provides a balance between edge strength and access to profiles, while the 0.2 mm nose radius supports precise detail work. The coated substrate improves flank and crater wear resistance, which in practical terms extends the useful life of the component and reduces tooling change frequency.

Compatibility and straightforward integration into ISO systems

Designed to the ISO plate family, the insert matches standard clamping and holder forms; compatibility depends on the insert form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The TNMG160402 form fits most triangular TNMG external holders and boring bars that accept ISO triangular inserts. The presence of a cylindrical centre hole enables secure mechanical fastening, and the double-sided design allows two indexed cutting edges per insert, improving economy in batch and single-part production.

Chip control and surface outcome under varying conditions

A double-sided chipbreaker is incorporated to manage swarf and stabilise cutting forces during turning, which reduces vibration in moderate to heavy cuts and supports a consistent surface finish. In conjunction with the T9225 grade, the chipbreaker helps form short, controllable chips on steels and alloyed materials under recommended cutting parameters. The result is improved process stability and fewer interruptions for manual chip clearing, supporting higher net machining productivity.

Economy, handling and achievable tool life

The combination of a robust carbide substrate and CVD protection yields a cost-effective option for shops seeking long tool life with reliable edge behaviour. The insert’s double-sided nature and indexed design contribute to lower cost per cutting edge, while the moderate nose radius and standard plate thickness allow trimming of wall thickness in fixtures and easy seat-in into predetermined holders. For operations prioritising repeatability and straightforward tool management, this grade presents a pragmatic balance between durability and finish quality.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The TNMG160402 T9225 insert and its T9225 CVD-coated carbide grade are intended primarily for steel machining in medium-to-heavy turning operations and for situations with variable engagement where enhanced toughness is required.

How is the insert secured in a holder?
This triangular insert uses a cylindrical hole for mechanical fastening; the ISO geometry and hole style match holders that accept TNMG plates and secure them with the appropriate screw and clamp system.

How many cutting edges are available per insert?
The insert is double-sided, providing two indexed cutting edges per side where applicable, enabling multiple edge uses before disposal and improving cost efficiency.
