TNMG 160416 AH8015 ISO turning insert — Tungaloy

TNMG160416 AH8015 is an ISO‑standard turning indexable insert designed for general turning of heat‑resistant alloys, offering a balance of wear resistance and cutting‑edge stability.

• Triangular ISO insert, 60° included angle
• PVD‑coated carbide grade AH8015
• Suited for heat‑resistant alloys and general turning
• Central cylindrical hole for secure mounting

Reliable performance on heat‑resistant alloys

The PVD‑coated carbide grade AH8015 has been developed as a first choice for general machining of heat‑resistant alloys, where a compromise between wear resistance and cutting‑edge stability is crucial. The coating improves surface hardness and reduces built‑up edge, which leads to more consistent component quality and longer indexable‑insert life. This results in fewer tool changes and steadier cycle times during production runs.

Designed for secure clamping and accurate fit

As an ISO‑compliant turning insert, the triangular geometry with a 60° included angle and a central cylindrical hole ensures precise seating in compatible holders. Compatibility with a clamping system is determined by form, clearance, tolerance class, attachment method, size and thickness; the insert’s 4.76 mm thickness and 16 mm size support robust rigidity. The 1.6 mm corner radius provides a controlled edge for medium‑to‑heavy cuts while helping to avoid premature chipping when the machining setup is stable.

Efficient chip control and economical use of edges

The insert is double‑sided, offering cost‑effective use of cutting edges and straightforward indexability. A matched chipbreaker and the grade’s balancing of toughness and hardness enhance chip control, reducing the risk of entanglement and easing swarf handling in turning operations. The economic benefit is twofold: reduced tooling expenditure per part and improved uptime thanks to fewer indexing events.

Practical system setup and recommended applications

The recommended system consists of the ISO indexable insert, a matching external holder or boring bar, an underlay/clamp set and replacement screws. Typical applications include both external and internal turning; select the chipbreaker and the AH8015 grade according to workpiece material and machine‑tool stability. For unstable setups, favour a more robust holder and conservative cutting parameters to capitalise on the insert’s edge stability.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The TNMG160416 AH8015 insert is optimised for heat‑resistant alloys, where the AH8015 grade offers a balanced compromise between wear resistance and cutting‑edge strength for reliable turning performance.

Is the TNMG160416 insert double‑sided?
Yes, the indexable insert is double‑sided, enabling economical use of multiple cutting edges before replacement or regrinding is necessary.

What are the key dimensional features to check for holder compatibility?
Compatibility is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, attachment, size (16 mm) and thickness (4.76 mm); the central cylindrical hole must match the clamping arrangement of the chosen holder.

Can this insert be used for internal turning as well as external turning?
The grade and geometry are suitable for both external and internal turning, provided the holder and machine setup offer adequate rigidity for the intended cuts.

What coating and substrate does the TNMG160416 AH8015 use?
The insert combines a PVD coating with a carbide substrate in the AH8015 grade to enhance wear resistance and edge stability in demanding alloy machining.
