VNMG 160408 AH8015 PVD-coated ISO indexable turning insert by Tungaloy

The VNMG 160408 AH8015 is a PVD-coated carbide indexable insert for external and internal turning, designed for general machining of heat-resistant alloys with stable chip formation and edge integrity.

• PVD-coated carbide for heat-resistant alloys
• Rhombic 35° geometry for versatile turning
• Double-sided chipbreaker for stable chips
• 0.8 mm corner radius for durable cutting edge

Engineered for dependable performance and longer tool life

The VNMG 160408 AH8015 grade pairs a PVD-coated carbide substrate with a balanced cutting-edge specification to deliver improved wear resistance and edge stability under elevated temperatures. The PVD layer reduces abrasive wear and helps maintain a consistent flank profile, while the substrate geometry supports reliable cutting forces. The built-in double-sided chipbreaker promotes controlled chip segmentation, which reduces vibration and contributes to more predictable tool life and surface finish in demanding turning operations.

Versatile geometry and secure clamping for accurate turning

A 35° rhombic geometry provides a flexible cutting edge for both external and internal turning tasks, enabling efficient engagement angles and predictable toolpaths. The insert features a 0.8 mm corner radius that balances edge strength and tolerance to interruptions. A cylindrical central hole enables positive location and repeatable clamping in ISO-compliant holders; compatibility depends on holder form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The ISO-indexed design simplifies inventory and replacement cycles across various turning systems.

Shop-floor benefits: predictable chips, reduced downtime, and material adaptability

Selecting the AH8015 grade supports machining of heat-resistant alloys with a compromise between wear resistance and cutting-edge toughness, which translates to fewer unexpected tool changes and steadier machining costs. The insert is part of a system comprising the indexable plate, a matching external holder or boring bar, underlay/clamp sets and replacement screws; correct pairing of chipbreaker and grade to workpiece material is essential for optimal results. Technical consultation is available to clarify holder matching and process parameters for specific alloys.
