WNMG080408-DM AH8015 — WNMG 080408 AH8015 Trigon ISO turning insert by Tungaloy, PVD‑coated carbide

The WNMG080408-DM AH8015 is an ISO trigon indexable insert for general turning, designed for machining heat‑resistant alloys with a balance of wear resistance and edge stability.

• ISO trigon geometry for standard holders
• PVD‑coated carbide AH8015 grade
• 0.8 mm corner radius for robust cutting edge
• Cylindrical hole fixation, 4.76 mm plate thickness

Consistent cutting performance for demanding turning

This ISO‑compliant trigon insert delivers predictable cycle times through the combination of a PVD‑coated carbide substrate and the AH8015 grade, chosen as a first option for machining heat‑resistant alloys. The coating improves surface hardness and wear behaviour at elevated temperatures, while the substrate maintains edge stability under interrupted cuts. For manufacturers seeking repeatable productivity, the insert reduces unplanned tool changes and supports steady component quality by extending service intervals.

Secure mounting and straightforward compatibility reduce setup time

Compatibility with a cutting tool holder depends on geometry factors such as form, relief angle, tolerance class, fixation and thickness; the trigon shape and cylindrical hole ensure reliable clamping in standard ISO holders. The insert’s 4.76 mm plate thickness and standard dimensions simplify selection of a matching external holder or boring bar, minimising setup complexity. Choosing the correct chipbreaker and grade according to material and machining stability results in efficient swarf control and fewer stoppages for rework.

Edge geometry that balances strength and surface finish

The 0.8 mm corner radius produces a mechanically robust cutting edge that tolerates higher cutting forces and improves edge life, while the 0° relief provides predictable contact behaviour on the workpiece. This geometry is particularly effective when a stable finish is required on parts from heat‑resistant alloys; the larger radius strengthens the edge but calls for modest feed values to preserve surface quality. The trigon insert also offers multiple indexable edges, enabling economical use and quick re‑indexing when renewal is necessary.

Cost‑effective grade selection with process security

The AH8015 grade is formulated for a wide material range and represents an economical choice where a compromise between wear resistance and edge toughness is required. For production environments aiming to reduce tool inventory complexity, this grade simplifies grade selection across similar alloys and machining styles. Where tighter tolerances or higher productivity are demanded, the combination of chipbreaker DM and the AH8015 coating/substrate pairing helps maintain consistent results and predictable tool life.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert best suited for?
The WNMG080408-DM AH8015 insert is optimised for heat‑resistant alloys; the AH8015 grade balances wear resistance and edge stability for general turning tasks.

How is the insert fixed in the holder?
Fixation is via a cylindrical hole and standard ISO trigon geometry, compatible with holders designed for WNMG‑type inserts and matching tolerance classes.

What does the DM chipbreaker do?
The DM chipbreaker provides general‑purpose chip control suitable for a range of turning operations; it facilitates manageable swarf and supports consistent surface quality.

How does the 0.8 mm corner radius affect performance?
A 0.8 mm radius increases edge strength and resistance to chipping, beneficial for interrupted cuts and tougher materials; it requires appropriate feed settings for the desired surface finish.

Is the insert indexable and economical to use?
Yes — the trigon shape offers multiple cutting edges per insert, enabling economical re‑indexing and longer productive life.
