TNMG160402 T6215 — Indexable turning insert for turning, Tungaloy

A TNMG160402 T6215 indexable insert engineered for external and internal turning of stainless steels under stable to slightly interrupted cutting conditions.

• CVD-coated carbide T6215 for stainless steels
• Triangle insert with 60° cutting angle
• 0.2 mm corner radius for fine finishes
• Double-sided chipbreaker for consistent chips
• Cylindrical hole for secure clamping

Improved wear resistance for demanding turning tasks

The combination of a CVD-coated surface and a carbide substrate in grade T6215 provides a balance of wear resistance and edge strength suited to rostfrei applications. In practice, this means longer cutting edge life under continuous turning conditions and improved resistance to built-up edge when machining work-hardened surfaces. The coating reduces flank wear and supports a predictable tool life, which helps stabilise process parameters and reduces unscheduled tool changes.

Geometry designed for precision and rigidity

The triangular TNMG form with a 60° main cutting angle, a 0.2 mm corner radius and a plate thickness of 4.76 mm offers a rigid cutting geometry that promotes dimensional accuracy. The cylindrical hole and standard ISO shape ensure reliable clamping in compatible holders; correct matching of form, tolerance class and thickness is essential for repeatable results. These design choices translate into consistent surface finishes and controlled cutting forces on both external and internal profiles.

Productivity through chip control and economy of use

A double-sided chipbreaker provides two usable edges per side, enabling cost-effective indexing and quick restoration of cutting capability without tool replacement. The chipbreaker geometry is optimised for stainless steels to deliver manageable chip forms and reduce interruptions from erratic swarf. For medium- to high-volume turning operations, the insert's combination of T6215 wear resistance and indexed usability supports higher uptime and a favourable cost-per-edge metric.

System considerations and practical selection guidance

Compatibility to a specific holder depends on the insert’s form, clearance angle (0°), tolerance class, fixing method and thickness. The insert performs best when matched with a holder designed for ISO triangular inserts and when the chosen chipbreaker and grade reflect the workpiece material and machining stability. For assembly, ensure the clamp and backing plate suit the TNMG160402 geometry to avoid vibration and to preserve cutting-edge accuracy. Metav Werkzeuge can advise on holder matching and process optimisation if required.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for? The TNMG160402 T6215 insert is specified for machining stainless steels; the T6215 grade and chipbreaker geometry support rostfrei applications under stable cutting conditions.

How many cutting edges are available per insert? Because the insert is double-sided with a triangular form, multiple usable edges are available; indexing restores a fresh cutting edge without full insert replacement.

What holder features are required for correct use? A holder compatible with ISO triangular inserts, matching the insert thickness (4.76 mm), clearance angle (0°) and the cylindrical hole style is required for secure and accurate clamping of the TNMG160402.

Can this insert handle interrupted cuts? The grade and geometry of the T6215 insert are intended for stable to slightly interrupted conditions; heavy interruption may require a different sort or an adjusted cutting strategy.

Is the coating specified on the product? Yes, the insert uses a CVD-coated hard metal grade identified as T6215, which is selected for wear resistance in rostfrei machining.
