YNMG160404 T6215 ISO turning insert by Tungaloy — CVD-coated carbide for stainless steels

The YNMG160404 T6215 is an ISO-format turning insert designed for external and internal turning, engineered for stable to lightly interrupted conditions and optimised for machining stainless steels.

• ISO-form YNMG 160404 geometry
• CVD-coated carbide T6215 grade
• Double-sided chipbreaker
• Suitable for stainless steel turning

Consistent wear resistance for demanding stainless‑steel turning

The CVD-coated T6215 grade combines a wear-resistant coating with a hard substrate to extend tool life when machining stainless steels. This composition reduces flank and crater wear under continuous cutting, which translates into fewer indexings and lower tooling costs per component. The insert’s carbide substrate maintains edge stability, helping to preserve dimensional accuracy across longer production runs. For users seeking predictable tool life, the coated grade delivers an economical balance between productivity and service intervals.

Reliable chip control and surface quality

Equipped with a double-sided chipbreaker, the insert promotes stable chip formation and evacuation during turning, reducing the risk of built-up edge on ductile stainless steels. Improved chip control helps maintain consistent surface finish and reduces rework. The corner radius 0.4 mm supports secure edge strength while contributing to a fine surface texture, making the geometry suitable for general finishing and light-medium roughing tasks where surface integrity matters.

ISO compatibility and straightforward tool selection

As an ISO-standard insert, the geometry and key dimensions ensure compatibility with a broad range of external holders and boring bars when form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness are respected. The ISO 160404 designation simplifies holder matching and inventory management in mixed‑brand toolrooms. Using standardised inserts streamlines purchasing and reduces downtime caused by incorrect tooling combinations.

Practical handling and application guidance

The insert’s 4.76 mm thickness and 16 mm size offer a robust seating and stable clamping, while the cylindrical centre hole supports repeatable fixation. For turning operations with occasional interruptions, choose appropriate cutting data and coolant strategy to exploit the grade’s strengths; moderate cutting speeds and firm clamping maximise service life. If application parameters are uncertain, the supplier’s technical advisory can recommend cutting parameters and chipbreaker choices tailored to material and stability conditions.
