VNMG 160408 AH8015 rhombic indexable insert for turning by Tungaloy — PVD‑coated carbide, 0.8 mm corner radius

VNMG160408-PM AH8015 is an ISO‑standard rhombic indexable insert designed for external and internal turning applications, especially where machining heat‑resistant alloys requires a balanced combination of wear resistance and cutting edge robustness.

• ISO rhombic insert VNMG form
• PVD‑coated carbide AH8015
• Corner radius 0.8 mm for stability
• Cylindrical hole and 35° lead angle

Consistent cutting performance on heat‑resistant alloys

The PVD‑coated AH8015 grade provides a well‑balanced combination of wear resistance and edge stability, making it a reliable first choice for general machining of heat‑resistant alloys. The thin, hard PVD layer reduces adhesive wear and improves thermal resistance; this means fewer tool changes and more consistent component tolerances during longer production runs. The insert is produced to ISO dimensions, which simplifies tooling logistics, while the inherent toughness of the carbide substrate supports stable cutting under intermittent or mixed cutting conditions.

Geometry that improves stability and surface finish

The rhombic VNMG form with a corner radius of 0.8 mm delivers increased edge strength for medium to heavy cuts and contributes to an improved surface finish when cutting at appropriate feeds. The 35° lead angle reduces effective cutting forces and helps to produce thinner, more manageable chips. The included PM chipbreaker is optimised for general turning tasks and chip control across a range of workpiece materials; choosing the correct chipbreaker and grade combination enables efficient chip evacuation and lowers the risk of built‑up edge.

System compatibility and practical integration into the turning cell

Compatibility with clamping systems is governed by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; the insert’s cylindrical hole and 4.76 mm thickness allow secure mounting in standard VNMG holders. The ISO designation simplifies cross‑referencing when replacing inserts in a multi‑machine environment. For feeds and speeds, match the AH8015 grade to the workpiece and machine rigidity: the grade excels where heat resistance and balanced wear characteristics are required.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The Tungaloy VNMG160408‑PM AH8015 insert is engineered primarily for heat‑resistant alloys and applications where a balance between wear resistance and edge stability is required.

What does the PM chipbreaker provide?
The PM chipbreaker on the VNMG160408‑PM AH8015 promotes reliable chip control for general turning operations and supports consistent surface finish when paired with the correct cutting parameters.

How does the 0.8 mm corner radius affect machining?
A 0.8 mm corner radius on this rhombic insert increases cutting edge strength, helping to withstand heavier cuts and to produce a more uniform surface finish in turning tasks.

Is the insert compatible with standard VNMG holders?
Yes; the insert follows ISO‑standard dimensions and the cylindrical hole and specified thickness ensure compatibility with matching VNMG external holders and boring bars when the holder matches form, clearance angle and tolerance class.

Which parameters should be checked before replacing an insert?
Verify the holder form, clearance angle, fastening method, insert size and thickness; confirming these ensures correct seating and consistent performance with the VNMG160408‑PM AH8015.
