VCMT 160402 AH8015 – ISO turning insert, PVD‑coated carbide by Tungaloy

VCMT 160402 AH8015 is an ISO‑standard turning insert designed for general turning of heat‑resistant alloys and assorted steels, compatible with corresponding ISO holders.

• ISO‑standard VCMT geometry for holder compatibility
• PVD‑coated AH8015 grade for heat‑resistant alloys
• Rhombic 16 mm size, 4.76 mm thick, 0.2 mm nose radius
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink

Predictable cutting performance for heat‑resistant materials

The PVD‑coated AH8015 carbide grade delivers a measured balance between wear resistance and edge stability, making it well suited for the general machining of heat‑resistant alloys. The TM chipbreaker promotes stable chip formation during both external and internal turning, which reduces unexpected interruptions and helps maintain surface quality. With the ISO‑conforming geometry, the insert provides repeatable tool orientation and predictable cutting forces, supporting process planning and cycle‑time optimisation.

Clear guidance for holder matching and setup

Compatibility with a clamping system depends on the insert form, 7° clearance, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The rhombic shape with a nominal 35° cutting angle and 0.2 mm nose radius supports a range of turning tasks from light profiling to finishing. The cylindrical hole with one‑sided countersink (40°–60°) ensures secure seating in compatible holders; selection of the correct holder, underlay or clamp set and replacement screws will determine assembly stability. For stable results, choose the chipbreaker and grade to match workpiece material and machining conditions.

Long‑term economy through surface technology and system design

The PVD finish enhances resistance to abrasive and adhesive wear and helps preserve the cutting edge under elevated temperatures, extending service intervals and reducing tooling consumption. The insert’s 4.76 mm thickness and rhombic 16 mm format offer a robust contact area, while the balanced microgeometry supports consistent part tolerances. Together, these characteristics contribute to higher productivity and lower unit cost per component in series production. Integration into an ISO tool system simplifies inventory management and reduces setup complexity.
