VCMT160402-PS AH8015 ISO turning insert — PVD-coated carbide, 35° rhombic — Tungaloy

The VCMT160402-PS AH8015 is an ISO‑standardly shaped turning insert designed for general machining of heat‑resistant alloys and other demanding materials in external and internal turning applications.

• PVD-coated carbide AH8015
• 35° rhombic geometry for precise turning
• 0.2 mm corner radius for fine finishing
• ISO-compatible form with mounting hole

High-performance machining of heat‑resistant alloys

The insert uses a PVD‑coated carbide grade AH8015, selected as a first choice for the general machining of heat‑resistant alloys. The coating improves surface hardness and thermal resistance while the substrate maintains chip‑edge stability, which together reduce flank wear and extend effective tool life. This yields fewer tool changes and more consistent cycle times, supporting steady production and improved process economics in series and single‑piece turning operations.

Precision geometry for consistent turning results

A 35° rhombic geometry combined with a 0.2 mm corner radius and 7° relief provides a stable cutting edge that supports both light finishing passes and medium‑duty turning. The insert thickness of 4.76 mm and the standard 16 mm size fit ISO holders when matching form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The insert is supplied with a cylindrical hole and a single‑side countersink (40°–60°) for secure clamping; correct matching of the holder avoids runout and ensures repeatable part quality.

Durability and measurable cost‑effectiveness

The PS chipbreaker is optimised for stable chip formation across a broad material spectrum, contributing to a reliable cutting process and consistent surface finish. Using a balanced grade such as AH8015 minimises unexpected edge chipping and supports higher metal removal rates where the machine and fixture rigidity allow. For production environments this translates into longer tool life, fewer interventions at the machine, and a measurable reduction in unit machining costs while maintaining the required component tolerances.
