YNMG 160402 AH8015 YNMG160402‑ZF — Turning insert (Tungaloy)

YNMG160402‑ZF AH8015 is an ISO‑standard turning insert designed for external and internal turning of heat‑resistant alloys, featuring a ZF chipbreaker and a PVD‑coated carbide grade.

• ISO turning insert YNMG160402‑ZF AH8015
• PVD‑coated carbide for heat‑resistant alloys
• ZF chipbreaker for controlled chips
• 0° clearance, 0.2 mm nose radius

Robust cutting performance for demanding alloys

The insert delivers consistent machining through its PVD‑coated carbide construction and AH8015 grade, which is optimised for heat‑resistant materials. The coating increases surface hardness and heat resistance, reducing flank wear during prolonged cutting at elevated temperatures. As a result, production runs achieve fewer tool changes and more predictable component tolerances, improving process stability and part consistency.

Predictable chip control and surface quality

Equipped with the ZF chipbreaker, the insert produces shorter, controllable chips that reduce workpiece surface damage and machine downtime caused by entangling swarf. The combination of the chipbreaker geometry and the insert’s 0° clearance ensures stable cutting forces and a reliable cutting edge, which supports reproducible surface finishes in serial turning operations. This configuration is particularly beneficial when machining alloys that tend to form long, stringy chips.

System compatibility and selection criteria explained

The insert is part of an ISO‑based system and requires a matching external holder or boring bar plus a shim/clamping set and mounting screw. Compatibility is determined by insert form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness; these parameters must match the toolholder specifications to guarantee correct seating and secure clamping. The cylindrical hole and standard attachment ensure straightforward integration into common clamping systems used in industrial turning centres.

Practical handling and dimensional advantages

With a nominal size of 16 mm and a plate thickness of 4.76 mm, the geometry provides rigidity for stable cuts and reduces vibration in unstable setups. The 0.2 mm nose radius enables precise profiling and light radii finishing without excessive cutting forces, making it suitable for finishing passes and small radii features. The robust PVD coating combined with the carbide substrate gives a useful balance between edge stability and wear resistance, supporting productive machining programmes.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The Tungaloy YNMG160402‑ZF AH8015 insert is designed primarily for machining heat‑resistant alloys and performs well where a balance of wear resistance and edge stability is required.

How is chip control achieved with this insert?
Chip control is provided by the ZF chipbreaker geometry; the combination of chipbreaker and the insert’s geometry produces shorter, controllable chips that reduce surface damage and facilitate swarf management.

Which factors determine whether the insert fits a toolholder?
Compatibility depends on insert form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness; confirming these parameters against the holder specification ensures correct seating and safe clamping.

Can this insert be used for both external and internal turning?
Yes, the ISO‑standard design allows use for external and internal turning when paired with a suitably dimensioned holder or boring bar and the correct clamping components.

What does the 0° clearance mean in practice?
A 0° clearance refers to the insert’s relief geometry; it influences cutting edge contact and is accounted for when selecting the matching holder and cutting conditions to maintain stable engagement.
