YNMG 160402 AH6225 — YNMG160402-ZF turning insert by Tungaloy

The YNMG160402-ZF AH6225 Tungaloy insert is a PVD-coated carbide indexable insert intended for general turning of stainless steels in ISO-compatible holders.

• PVD-coated AH6225 grade
• Compatible with ISO holders
• 0.2 mm corner radius for precision
• Cylindrical hole for secure clamping

Consistent cutting performance for stainless steels

The insert’s AH6225 grade combines a PVD-coated surface with a tough carbide substrate to deliver a reliable balance between a sharp edge and wear resistance when machining stainless steels. This composition is optimised for moderate cutting conditions and variable production environments, reducing the need for frequent changes and helping to maintain cycle-time consistency. The result is improved process stability and predictable tool life, supporting higher throughput in batch or single-piece flow operations.

Secure seating and ISO compatibility for repeatable results

Designed as an ISO-standard indexable plate, the geometry and fixation determine holder compatibility. The cylindrical hole and standard form ensure a tight interface with the clamping system, while the 4.76 mm plate thickness contributes to rigidity under load. Correctly matched to the corresponding holder, shim and screw set, the insert reduces micro-movements at the cutting zone, which translates to repeatable dimensional accuracy and a lower incidence of chatter in both external and internal turning tasks.

Controlled chip formation and edge geometry for surface quality

The integrated ZF chipbreaker promotes predictable chip control and helps to avoid long, stringy chips that can foul the tool zone. Paired with a 0.2 mm corner radius and a 0° clearance angle, the edge geometry is calibrated to produce a fine surface finish while maintaining a stable cutting edge. In practical terms, this means fewer rework passes and a smoother, more consistent workpiece surface when the machining setup is stable.

Practical guidance to maximise efficiency and service life

For best results, select the chipbreaker and grade according to workpiece material, machining depth and machine stability. The plate’s special form and ISO designation allow flexible assembly into common turning systems; when combined with appropriate feeds and speeds, the insert supports efficient metal removal rates while preserving edge life. Regular inspection of seat contact and screw torque, together with a consistent tool-change regimen, will further extend usable lifetime and maintain production quality.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The YNMG160402-ZF AH6225 insert from Tungaloy is primarily intended for stainless steels, offering a balance of sharpness and edge stability for medium turning operations.

Which chipbreaker is fitted and why does it matter?
The insert uses a ZF chipbreaker, which promotes controlled chip formation to reduce chip entanglement and improve surface finish in many turning conditions.

How is the insert secured in the toolholder?
A cylindrical hole and standard ISO form enable secure clamping in compatible holders; correct seat condition and the use of appropriate screws and shims ensure repeatable positioning.

What effects does the 0.2 mm corner radius have on finishing?
A 0.2 mm corner radius supports improved surface quality and distributes cutting forces to enhance edge robustness, particularly beneficial when aiming for consistent finishes.

Can this insert be used for both internal and external turning?
Yes, the plate’s ISO designation and geometry make it suitable for both external and internal turning tasks when combined with the correct holder and cutting parameters.
