TNMG 160416 T9215 turning indexable insert by Tungaloy — CVD-coated carbide, 60° triangular geometry

A TNMG160416 T9215 indexable insert designed for ISO-compatible holders, engineered for external and internal turning in medium steel and optimised for continuous to light interrupted cuts

• CVD-coated carbide grade T9215
• 60° triangular geometry, 1.6 mm radius
• Double-sided chipbreaker, cylindrical hole
• Optimised for medium steel, high productivity

Prolonged tool life through CVD-coated carbide technology

The CVD-coated carbide grade T9215 combines wear resistance with controlled toughness, making it a reliable choice for sustained production runs. The chemical vapour deposition layer reduces flank wear under typical turning conditions, which directly contributes to longer tool life and fewer insert changes. This material choice supports a higher metal removal rate in stable setups, providing a clear productivity advantage in medium-steel machining.

Geometry engineered for consistent chip control and stability

The 60° triangular shape and 1.6 mm corner radius deliver a balanced mix of strength and cutting edge definition. The double-sided chipbreaker promotes predictable chip formation and evacuation, which reduces the risk of chatter and restart issues during light interruptions. Insert compatibility depends on holder form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness; therefore, matching the insert geometry to the clamping system ensures repeatable performance and minimal setup time.

Tailored for medium-steel turning with predictable results

Selected as a first choice for medium steel, the grade and geometry are tuned to perform under continuous cutting and light interruptions, offering a compromise between wear resistance and breakage safety. In practice, this means the insert maintains surface finish quality while allowing for efficient cutting parameters. For internal and external turning tasks, using the correct chipbreaker and matching the grade to workpiece stability will shorten cycle times and lower tool consumption.

Ready-to-fit system components for straightforward assembly

The ISO-format insert integrates into a system that includes a suitable external holder or boring bar, a supporting shim or clamp set and replacement screws. The insert’s cylindrical hole simplifies accurate seating and secure clamping; the 4.76 mm thickness and standard size facilitate interchangeability across ISO holders. Quick insert changes reduce machine downtime and simplify tool management in busy production environments.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for?
The insert is formulated for medium steel machining; the CVD-coated carbide grade T9215 offers a balance of wear resistance and toughness for continuous to light interrupted cuts.

How does the chipbreaker affect performance?
The double-sided chipbreaker is designed to produce predictable chips and good evacuation, improving surface finish and reducing the likelihood of built-up edge during turning operations.

Which holders are compatible with this insert?
Compatibility is determined by holder form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness; the insert follows ISO geometry for straightforward fitting in standard ISO holders.

Can this insert be used for internal and external turning?
Yes, the geometry and grade are suitable for both external and internal turning when paired with the appropriate holder and process parameters.

What is the significance of the 1.6 mm corner radius?
A 1.6 mm corner radius provides a compromise between edge strength and cutting precision, supporting higher feed rates while maintaining adequate edge resilience.
