TNMG 160408 AH8015 ISO turning insert, PVD‑coated carbide — Tungaloy

The TNMG160408 AH8015 is an ISO‑standard triangular turning insert engineered for external and internal turning of heat‑resistant alloys, offering balanced wear resistance and cutting‑edge stability.

• ISO triangular insert TNMG 160408 AH8015
• PVD-coated carbide for heat-resistant alloys
• Double-sided chipbreaker for versatile use
• 60° geometry with 0.8 mm corner radius

High productivity for machining heat‑resistant alloys

The triangular indexable insert delivers a predictable combination of wear resistance and edge stability, making it suitable as a primary choice for general turning of heat‑resistant alloys. The PVD‑coated carbide substrate is selected to withstand higher temperatures while maintaining cutting performance, which reduces the frequency of tool changes and supports uninterrupted production cycles. By choosing an insert conforming to ISO dimensions, process planners gain reliable comparability across holders and machine setups.

Clear compatibility and mounting to speed setup

Compatibility with toolholders is governed by insert form, rake/clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; the triangular format and cylindrical hole enable secure seating in many standard external holders and boring bars. The 0° clearance angle and the specified plate thickness ensure that clamping forces are taken up consistently, improving repeatability between setups. For workshop technicians, the ISO specification simplifies holder selection and reduces set‑up time.

Durable cutting edge and controlled chip formation

The double‑sided chipbreaker geometry is optimised for a broad range of cutting conditions and helps maintain consistent chip flow during both finishing and more aggressive cuts. The modest 0.8 mm corner radius supports improved corner strength without sacrificing surface quality, while the 60° main cutting angle suits versatile turning operations. These design choices combine to deliver longer edge life and a stable cutting process, which benefits productivity and part quality.

Practical advantages for the production floor

Choosing this insert contributes to a stable machining routine: ISO compliance streamlines inventory management, the PVD coating improves resistance to built‑up edge and thermal wear, and the triangular form provides multiple indexing positions per insert. The result is reduced downtime and a more predictable tool life, which supports planning for batch production and shorter lead times for repeat jobs.
