SNMG 120412 AH8015 — Turning insert (PVD-coated carbide) by Tungaloy
SNMG120412 AH8015 is a PVD‑coated carbide indexable insert engineered for precision external and internal turning in heat‑resistant alloys and general turning applications
- PVD-coated carbide AH8015 grade for heat-resistant alloys
- ISO SNMG 120412 geometry, square 12 mm form
- Double-sided chipbreaker for improved chip control
High-performance coating and balanced cutting behaviour
The AH8015 grade is a PVD‑coated carbide designed as a first choice for the machining of heat‑resistant alloys. Its balanced combination of wear resistance and edge stability reduces unexpected tool changeovers and contributes to a predictable process window. Explaining the coating: PVD layers enhance resistance to abrasive wear and maintain a sharp cutting edge at elevated temperatures, so the tool sustains performance in demanding turning operations.
Precise geometry that simplifies holder selection and setup
The ISO SNMG 120412 geometry provides a standardised, square insert with a 12 mm size and a 90° included angle, suited to a wide range of turning holders. Key dimensions include a corner radius of 1.2 mm, thickness 4.76 mm, and a 0° clearance angle, all of which influence cutting forces and surface finish. Compatibility with toolholders is determined by shape, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness; matching these parameters ensures secure clamping and repeatable positioning.
Reliable chip control and flexible mounting options
Equipped with a double‑sided chipbreaker and a cylindrical centre hole, the insert offers symmetric cutting edges and straightforward indexing for economical use. The chipbreaker geometry supports controlled chip formation during both external and internal turning, reducing the risk of entangling chips and improving cycle time stability. The two usable cutting edges per side increase productivity and make this insert a pragmatic option for batch and single‑piece production.
Productivity gains and guidance for selection
Selecting this indexable insert helps increase process security and machining productivity through consistent geometry and a robust coating system, translating into fewer interruptions and predictable part quality. For best results, pair the insert with a holder matching ISO SNMG specifications and choose the chipbreaker variant according to workpiece material and machine stability.
