TNMG 160402 AH8015 — TNMG indexable turning insert, PVD‑coated carbide by Tungaloy

The TNMG160402 AH8015 is an ISO‑standard triangular indexable turning insert designed for general external and internal turning of heat‑resistant alloys and similar demanding materials.

• PVD‑coated carbide grade AH8015
• 60° triangular geometry for stable cuts
• Double‑sided with cylindrical hole
• Corner radius 0.2 mm for fine finishing

Consistent metal removal with reliable edge life

The PVD‑coated carbide grade AH8015 delivers a balanced mix of wear resistance and edge stability, which translates into longer tool life and fewer interruptions in the machining schedule. In applications involving elevated temperatures or tough alloying elements, the coating reduces crater wear while the substrate sustains the cutting edge, enabling steady metal removal rates. This results in measurable productivity gains and more predictable regrinding or index intervals for production runs.

Fast tool changes and holder compatibility for efficient workflows

Designed to the ISO TNMG form, the triangular geometry and standardised dimensions ensure compatibility with a wide range of external holders and drill‑bar style toolholders. The 60° cutting angle and the central cylindrical hole allow secure clamping and simple indexing, which minimises setup time during tool replacement. For process engineers, this means shorter downtimes and smoother changeovers when switching inserts or adjusting machining parameters.

Controlled chip formation and surface quality

The insert is supplied with a double‑sided geometry and a specified corner radius of 0.2 mm, giving a balance between cutting strength and surface finish. The combination of the grade and the chip‑breaker design is intended to promote uniform chip formation when turning heat‑resistant alloys, reducing the risk of built‑up edge and enhancing dimensional consistency. As a result, the finished components typically exhibit improved surface integrity and require less downstream finishing.

Practical selection and application guidance

When selecting the insert, consider the workpiece material and cutting conditions: the PVD‑coated carbide is particularly suited to heat‑resistant alloys and works well under moderate to high cutting speeds. Because this is an ISO‑standard indexable insert, matching the appropriate holder form, relief angle and clamping tolerance is essential for optimal performance. If additional technical data or process recommendations are required, Metav Werkzeuge provides application support to help choose the correct chipbreaker and operating window.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for?
The TNMG 160402 AH8015 insert is formulated for the general turning of heat‑resistant alloys and similar demanding materials, combining a PVD coating with a carbide substrate for enhanced wear resistance.

How does the 0.2 mm corner radius affect the result?
A 0.2 mm corner radius offers a compromise between edge strength and surface finish; it supports fine finishing passes while maintaining sufficient robustness for routine turning operations.

Is the insert reversible and how many cutting edges are available?
The triangular, double‑sided design provides multiple usable cutting edges per insert, allowing economical indexing before replacement.

Which holders are compatible with this ISO insert?
Compatibility depends on holder form, relief angle, clamping tolerance and insert thickness; the ISO designation ensures wide compatibility with standard TNMG‑capable external holders.

Where can additional technical information be obtained?
Technical data sheets and process recommendations are available from Metav Werkzeuge; their consultants can assist with selection of chipbreaker and cutting parameters.
