VCMT160402-PS T9225 ISO turning indexable insert by Tungaloy — CVD-coated carbide for medium to heavy steel turning

VCMT160402-PS T9225 is an ISO rhombic indexable insert designed for external and internal turning where toughness and reliable chip control are required

• CVD-coated carbide grade T9225
• For medium to heavy steel turning
• 0.2 mm corner radius for profile work
• Rhombic 35° insert with 7° relief

High-performance cutting for variable and interrupted cuts

The CVD-coated carbide composition of this insert provides a balanced combination of wear resistance and toughness that is particularly effective under changing engagement conditions. The T9225 grade is engineered for medium to heavy steel machining, which means fewer insert changes and more predictable cycle times. The PS chipbreaker is optimised for secure chip control during typical turning operations, reducing the risk of built-up edge and improving process stability. Compatibility with ISO-standard holders ensures easy integration into existing tool setups, so the workflow remains efficient and repeatable.

Predictable tool life and improved surface quality

A robust cutting edge and the grain structure of the coated carbide contribute to a steady tool life even when cuts are intermittently interrupted. The PS chipbreaker supports consistent chip segmentation, which minimises rework and protects the component surface. As a result, surface finish is enhanced without sacrificing productivity, and downtime for tool changes is reduced. These attributes translate into a favourable cost-per-part ratio for batch and continuous production, while offering the resilience needed for tougher feeding conditions.

Practical geometry and secure mounting for everyday shop use

The rhombic insert with a 35° included angle and a 0.2 mm corner radius enables fine profile definition and reliable edge strength for common turning tasks. The insert thickness of 4.76 mm and the ISO 160402 dimensions make it compatible with a wide range of external holders and boring bars; the retention is defined by form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. A cylindrical mounting hole with a single-sided countersink (40°–60°) ensures secure seating and straightforward replacement. This combination of geometry and ISO conformity simplifies tool selection and reduces setup complexity.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The Tungaloy VCMT160402-PS T9225 is formulated for medium to heavy steel machining and performs well under slightly interrupted cuts where toughness is required.

What does the PS chipbreaker provide in practice?
The PS chipbreaker offers controlled chip formation and enhanced evacuation, which leads to improved surface quality and fewer tool interruptions during turning.

Is the insert compatible with standard holders?
Yes. The insert follows the ISO 160402 form and mounting dimensions; compatibility is determined by shape, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening and thickness.

How does the 0.2 mm corner radius affect the cut?
A 0.2 mm corner radius balances profile accuracy with edge strength, making it suitable for finishing passes and geometry-critical turning work.
