TNMG 160416 T9215 — Tungaloy TNMG160416 turning insert for ISO turning

TNMG160416 T9215 Tungaloy‑Wendeplatte is an ISO‑standard triangular turning insert designed for external and internal turning in general steel machining applications

• ISO triangular insert TNMG160416 for turning
• CVD‑coated carbide grade T9215 for mid steel
• Double‑sided chipbreaker for consistent chips
• Cylindrical hole for secure, repeatable clamping

Productive turning with consistent edge life

The combination of a CVD‑coated carbide substrate and the T9215 grade gives a balanced mix of wear resistance and fracture toughness that is tuned for the middle range of steel machining. The coating reduces flank and crater wear under continuous and slightly interrupted cuts, which translates into longer usable cutting edge life and fewer changeovers. The geometry and material selection enable predictable tool performance in series production, helping maintain cycle times and part quality.

Stable chip control that supports higher productivity

A double‑sided chipbreaker ensures reliable chip formation across a range of feeds and depths of cut, keeping chips compact and manageable during both external and internal turning. The effective chip control reduces the risk of re-cutting and improves swarf evacuation, which benefits process reliability and surface finish. For applications where cycle time and unattended shifts matter, the controlled chips contribute directly to operational efficiency and safer machine operation.

Secure clamping and ISO compatibility for easy integration

The insert features a cylindrical hole and conforms to ISO dimensions, so compatibility with matching external holders and boring bars is determined by form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. With a 0° relief angle and a plate thickness of 4.76 mm, the insert mounts securely and offers predictable radial support. The triangular form with a 1.6 mm corner radius provides a compromise between strength and profile detail, making it suitable for a variety of turning tasks while remaining straightforward to fit into established tool systems.

Optimised for mid‑range steel applications and reliable production

Chosen as a first option for medium steel, the T9215 grade is engineered for high productivity with continuous to lightly interrupted cuts, combining wear resistance with resistance to chipping. That balance reduces unscheduled tool changes and supports stable part tolerances over longer production runs. For manufacturers aiming to increase throughput without sacrificing consistency, this insert offers a practical route to more productive turning operations.

FAQ

What applications is this insert best suited to?
The TNMG160416 T9215 Tungaloy turning insert is optimised for external and internal turning of medium steels and performs well in continuous to lightly interrupted cuts.

How does the T9215 grade affect tool life?
T9215, a CVD‑coated carbide grade, combines wear resistance with toughness to extend usable edge life under typical steel turning conditions while maintaining reliable fracture resistance.

Which holder features are required for correct fitment?
Correct compatibility requires matching the insert form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness to the chosen ISO holder; the TNMG160416 form and cylindrical hole provide secure clamping when paired with the appropriate external holder or boring bar.

Can this insert be indexed to use multiple edges?
Yes, the triangular, double‑sided geometry allows indexing of additional cutting edges, enabling multiple edge changes per insert and improving overall tool economy.

What surface finish can be expected with this geometry?
With appropriate cutting data and machine stability, the geometry and 1.6 mm corner radius support good surface quality on medium steel, while the chipbreaker helps maintain consistent finishes across batch runs.
