TNMG 160404 AH8015 — ISO turning insert (triangular, 60°) by Tungaloy

A TNMG 160404 AH8015 turning insert engineered for external and internal turning of heat‑resistant alloys and general turning operations.

• ISO triangular insert TNMG 160404, 60° geometry
• PVD-coated AH8015 carbide for heat-resistant alloys
• Double-sided chipbreaker; 0.4 mm corner radius
• Cylindrical centre hole for secure fastening

Longer tool life and predictable performance for tough alloys

The combination of PVD-coated surface treatment and the AH8015 carbide grade is geared towards machining heat‑resistant alloys with predictable tool life. The coating reduces adhesion and thermal wear, while the substrate maintains edge stability under intermittent loads. This results in fewer insert changes, longer uninterrupted production runs and a more favourable cost‑per‑component calculation. For shops focused on throughput, this grade provides a pragmatic compromise between wear resistance and toughness.

Secure clamping and flexible use across turning tasks

Designed to ISO dimensions, the triangular insert and 60° cutting geometry enable straightforward integration into common toolholders. The cylindrical hole and standard tolerance classes ensure repeatable clamping and exact seat location, supporting process consistency across shifts. The double‑sided chipbreaker permits indexation to a fresh cutting edge, while the 0.4 mm corner radius balances strength with surface finish. As a result, the insert supports both roughing and light finishing passes when paired with the appropriate holder and cutting parameters.

Practical advantages that ease workshop planning

Using an ISO‑compliant indexable solution reduces inventory complexity and allows quick replacement without re‑qualification of holders. The insert’s balance of properties promotes process security and consistent surface quality from batch to batch. For specific material mixes or machining strategies, Metav Werkzeuge’s technical advisers can recommend the optimal chipbreaker and cutting data. The reliable geometry and grade help prevent unexpected downtime and ease production planning, making this insert a sensible choice for everyday turning tasks.
