TNMG 160404 T6215 Turning Insert – Tungaloy, CVD-coated carbide for rostfreier Stahl

TNMG160404 is a triangular, ISO‑standard turning insert designed for external and internal turning under stable to lightly interrupted conditions, optimised for machining rostfreier Stahl.

• CVD-coated carbide grade T6215
• Optimised for rostfreier Stahl machining
• Double-sided chipbreaker, triangular form
• 60° geometry, 0.4 mm corner radius

High wear resistance for consistent stainless‑steel turning

The T6215 grade uses a CVD-coated carbide substrate developed to resist abrasive and adhesive wear during the machining of rostfreier Stahl under stable to slightly interrupted cuts. This coating improves edge life and reduces the frequency of index changes, delivering a tangible increase in uptime. By favouring a wear‑resistant surface treatment over uncoated grades, the insert helps to maintain surface integrity and repeatable part quality while avoiding premature flank or crater wear.

Predictable cutting behaviour through precise geometry and clamping

A 60° triangular shape with a 0.4 mm corner radius and plate thickness 4.76 mm provides a reliable compromise between strength and small‑radius form turning. The insert’s cylindrical hole and defined clearance parameters mean compatibility with holders depends on form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness — all standard considerations in an ISO system. Using a correctly matched external holder, shim and clamping set ensures repeatable seat contact and consistent cutting forces for predictable tool life.

Productivity gains from chip control and economical indexing

The double‑sided chipbreaker design offers two cutting edges per index, improving cost efficiency and reducing tool inventory. The chipbreaker is tuned to manage chips when machining rostfreier Stahl, helping to avoid built‑up edge and to support stable cutting conditions; this leads to improved surface finish and process stability. Integrating this insert into a coherent tool system — matching holder rigidity and machining parameters to the grade and chipbreaker — delivers reliable, repeatable performance and lower overall machining costs.

FAQ

What materials is this insert designed for?
The Tungaloy TNMG160404 in grade T6215 is optimised for machining rostfreier Stahl under stable to lightly interrupted cutting conditions.

How many cutting edges are available per insert?
Each triangular insert is double‑sided, providing two usable cutting edges per index to improve economy and reduce tool changes.

Which holder features must match the insert?
Compatibility requires matching holder form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness to ensure correct seating and clamping of the TNMG160404 insert.

What are the key geometric identifiers to check before fitting?
Confirm the 60° triangle form, 0.4 mm corner radius and 4.76 mm thickness, together with the cylindrical hole style, to guarantee correct fit and performance.

Can this insert be used for interrupted cuts?
The T6215 grade is primarily aimed at stable to slightly interrupted conditions; for heavy interruptions a different geometry or grade may be advisable.
