TNMG160402 AH8015 Tungaloy indexable turning insert – PVD-coated carbide, 60°

The TNMG160402 AH8015 is an ISO-standard triangular indexable insert developed for external and internal turning, combining a balanced PVD-coated carbide grade with a double-sided chipbreaker for dependable chip control.

• TNMG 160402 AH8015 PVD-coated carbide
• Triangular ISO insert, 60° cutting angle
• Double-sided chipbreaker, cylindrical hole
• 0.2 mm corner radius, 4.76 mm thickness

Consistent cutting performance for heat-resistant alloys

The insert delivers a stable compromise between wear resistance and edge stability thanks to the AH8015 PVD-coated carbide grade. This balance makes the component particularly suitable for machining heat-resistant alloys, where thermal and mechanical loads are high. The triangular geometry with a 60° cutting angle and a 0.2 mm corner radius supports precise engagement and predictable cutting forces, which contributes to improved tool life and repeatable part quality. The ISO conformity simplifies selection of matching holders and reduces setup variability.

Higher productivity through reliable chip control and economy

A double-sided design reduces cost per usable edge and increases uptime before index changes are required. The integrated chipbreaker is engineered to produce short, controlled chips when the insert is used under stable cutting conditions, enhancing process reliability and reducing the risk of built-up edge. The cylindrical hole and standard clamping interfaces ensure secure clamping in ISO holders, promoting consistent machining performance and minimising vibration-related wear, which in turn supports higher material removal rates and improved throughput.

Easy integration into existing tool systems and application guidance

The insert is intended for system use with a matching ISO turning holder, shim and fastening hardware; compatibility depends on insert form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. Selection of the correct chipbreaker and grade should follow the workpiece material and machining stability to unlock the full benefit of the PVD coating and substrate. If uncertainty exists about holder matching or application parameters, technical consultation is recommended to ensure optimal clamping and cutting conditions for stable production.

Clear material suitability and user-oriented advantages

This indexable cutting solution is optimised for general turning tasks and specifically chosen for challenging, heat-resistant workpiece materials. The PVD-coated carbide substrate provides enhanced resistance to abrasion and edge degradation, while the geometry and 0.2 mm corner radius deliver the dimensional control required for many finishing and semi-finishing operations. Together, these characteristics reduce process variability and support consistent surface quality without sacrificing edge life.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The TNMG160402 AH8015 insert is primarily designed for heat-resistant alloys, offering a balance of wear resistance and edge stability through its PVD-coated carbide grade.

Which toolholders are compatible with this insert?
Compatibility is determined by insert form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; select an ISO-standard turning holder that matches the TNMG160402 dimensions and clamping style.

How many cutting edges are available per insert?
The triangular, double-sided design provides multiple indexable edges; the geometry yields six usable cutting corners when both sides are used sequentially.

What are the key geometry values to consider for setup?
Important parameters are the 60° cutting angle, 0.2 mm corner radius and 4.76 mm thickness, which influence engagement, feed recommendations and finish quality.

How does the chipbreaker affect machining?
The double-sided chipbreaker promotes short, controlled chips under appropriate cutting conditions, improving process reliability and reducing the risk of chip entanglement.
