TNMG 160408 T6215 TNMG – Turning insert, CVD-coated carbide (Tungaloy)

A TNMG160408 T6215 triangular ISO turning insert designed for reliable stainless steel machining under stable to lightly interrupted conditions.

• ISO triangular insert form TNMG
• CVD-coated carbide grade T6215
• Suitable for machining stainless steel
• 60° included angle, 0.8 mm corner radius

Consistent wear resistance for longer tool life

The CVD-coated T6215 grade delivers enhanced wear resistance, which translates into longer tool life and fewer insert changes during runs. For series production where part-to-part consistency matters, the coating reduces flank and crater wear under typical turning feeds and speeds, maintaining surface quality and dimensional stability. Explaining briefly: chemical vapour deposition (CVD) is a coating process that bonds hard layers to the substrate, improving abrasion resistance without compromising the core toughness of the carbide substrate.

Simple integration with ISO toolholders for quicker set-ups

The ISO designation and triangular geometry make the insert straightforward to match to standard toolholders. Key interface parameters—form, relief angle (0°), tolerance class, fastening and thickness—determine compatibility, so the insert fits into existing tool systems with minimal rework. The triangle shape and cylindrical hole support secure clamping, which helps reduce vibration and supports stable cutting, leading to fewer interruptions and shorter overall set-up times.

Process security and chip control enhance productivity

The double-sided chipbreaker design supports controlled chip formation during turning, especially on stainless steels where chip control can be challenging. With a 60° included angle, a 0.8 mm corner radius and a plate thickness of 4.76 mm, the insert balances strength at the cutting edge with the ability to achieve consistent surface finish. The ISO plate size of 16 provides a stable contact area, while the CVD-treated hardmetal core maintains cutting performance across extended cycles. For applications requiring repeated accuracy and uptime, this combination promotes predictable tool behaviour and fewer unplanned interventions.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for stainless steel turning? Yes. The TNMG160408 T6215 insert is specified for turning stainless steels, with a CVD coating formulated to resist the adhesive and abrasive wear common with those materials.

What does the T6215 grade indicate? T6215 denotes a CVD-coated hardmetal grade optimised for wear resistance and stable cutting in stainless steel applications, offering a balance of toughness and abrasion resistance.

Which toolholders will accept this insert? Compatibility depends on holder form, relief angle, tolerance and clamping method; the TNMG form and ISO designation mean the insert fits standard triangular TNMG holders when those parameters match.

How does the chipbreaker affect performance? The double-sided chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation, improving surface finish and reducing the risk of long, entangling chips when machining stainless steels.
