VCMT 110304 AH8015 ISO turning insert — PVD‑coated carbide, TM chipbreaker by Tungaloy

The VCMT110304-TM AH8015 is an ISO‑standard turning insert optimised for external and internal turning of heat‑resistant alloys, offering a balanced mix of wear resistance and edge stability.

• PVD‑coated cemented carbide AH8015
• TM chipbreaker for general turning
• 0.4 mm corner radius for edge strength
• ISO rhombic insert, 11 mm size

Predictable chip control for higher productivity

The TM chipbreaker geometry provides consistent chip formation, reducing the risk of long, stringy chips and improving cycle predictability. This results in fewer interruptions for chip clearing and a more stable process in both face and cylindrical turning. The chipcontrol advantage is particularly relevant when processing tough, heat‑resistant alloys where uncontrolled chips can reduce throughput and increase downtime. By favouring a controlled chip shape, the insert contributes directly to shorter cycle times and a steadier surface finish.

Durable cutting edge through PVD coating and carbide substrate

A PVD‑coated cemented carbide substrate with the AH8015 grade delivers a balanced combination of wear resistance and edge stability for demanding materials. The physical vapour deposition layer improves thermal and abrasive resistance without compromising toughness, which is essential for machining alloys that generate high temperatures. In practical terms, this means extended tool life and fewer indexings or insert changes, translating into lower tool consumption and more consistent part quality over longer production runs.

Fast, secure clamping and ISO compatibility for easy changeovers

Built to ISO dimensions and bearing a rhombic plate form, the insert is compatible with a wide range of standard external holders and boring bars, provided form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness match. The cylindrical hole with single‑sided countersink (40°–60°) ensures reliable seating and repeatability during clamping. These features permit quick changeovers and consistent positioning, helping to reduce setup time and maintain process accuracy across shifts or jobs.

Application advice: material range and geometry selection

This grade is a first choice for general machining of heat‑resistant alloys, offering a compromise between abrasive wear resistance and edge robustness. The 0.4 mm corner radius gives a solid cutting edge that improves corner strength and helps avoid premature chipping in interrupted cuts; however, it also affects surface finish and cutting forces, so selection should match part tolerance and machine rigidity. The insert’s 35° lead angle and 7° relief angle support a versatile cutting approach for both external and internal turning. For finer finishes or very thin walls, a smaller radius or different chipbreaker might be more suitable.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The VCMT110304‑TM AH8015 insert is designed primarily for heat‑resistant alloys and offers a balanced wear resistance and edge stability suitable for general turning applications.

How does the TM chipbreaker affect machining?
The TM chipbreaker on the VCMT110304‑TM provides consistent chip control for safer, more predictable machining and helps reduce interruptions caused by poor chip evacuation.

Is this insert compatible with standard ISO holders?
Yes; the insert follows ISO dimensions, so compatibility depends on matching holder form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness to the insert specifications.

What does the 0.4 mm corner radius mean for surface finish and strength?
A 0.4 mm corner radius increases edge strength and resistance to chipping, improving tool life in interrupted cuts; it may raise cutting forces and slightly affect achievable surface finish compared with a smaller radius.

Which product identifiers should be quoted when ordering?
Quote the designation VCMT110304‑TM AH8015 and the article number 6951579 or manufacturer SKU TUN6951579 to ensure the correct item is supplied.
