TNMG 160416 AH8015 Tungaloy turning insert — ISO triangular, 60°

The TNMG160416 AH8015 is an ISO-standard triangular indexable insert engineered for general turning of heat-resistant alloys, offering a robust compromise between wear resistance and edge stability.

• PVD-coated carbide grade AH8015
• ISO TNMG 60° triangular geometry
• 1.6 mm corner radius for robust edges
• Double-sided chipbreaker for efficiency
• Cylindrical hole, 4.76 mm plate thickness

Durable grade and coating for heat-resistant alloys

The AH8015 grade, realised on a carbide substrate and finished with a PVD-coated layer, is designed as a first-choice solution for machining heat-resistant alloys. This combination balances wear resistance and edge strength to prolong tool life under thermal stress. For production environments where consistent tool behaviour reduces downtime, the coated substrate offers predictable wear characteristics and improved component quality without frequent edge changes.

Geometry and fit for reliable clamping and positioning

The triangular ISO TNMG form with a 60° included angle ensures broad compatibility with standard ISO external and internal turning holders. The insert’s 1.6 mm corner radius provides a compromise between edge robustness and achievable surface finish. A 0° clearance angle and a cylindrical hole support secure clamping via matching seats, while the plate thickness of 4.76 mm contributes to stiffness in interrupted cuts. These measurable parameters simplify holder selection and reduce setup uncertainty.

Productivity gains through chip control and double-sided use

Equipped with a double-sided chipbreaker, the insert promotes stable chip formation across a range of cutting depths and feed rates, improving process reliability and reducing rework. Two usable cutting edges per insert cut cost per edge and allow quick index changes to restore cutting geometry. In repetitive turning applications, this design helps maintain cycle consistency and supports higher average material removal rates with lower tool-change frequency.

System approach and practical application guidance

The insert is intended for a conventional system comprising the indexable insert, a matching external holder or boring bar, a support/ clamping set and replacement screws. Typical operations include external and internal turning; choose the chipbreaker and grade according to workpiece material, machining method and machine stability. When machining alloys with elevated temperature sensitivity, the AH8015 grade is optimised to combine stable edge life with acceptable surface quality, making it suitable for diverse workshop and production settings.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The TNMG160416 AH8015 insert is specified for machining heat-resistant alloys; its PVD-coated carbide composition provides a balance of wear resistance and edge stability for such materials.

How many cutting edges are available per insert?
Each triangular TNMG insert offers multiple usable edges; with a double-sided configuration the insert allows for edge indexing to restore cutting geometry and extend service life.

Which geometry should be matched for the holder?
Select an ISO-compatible holder that matches the TNMG form, the 60° included angle, plate thickness of 4.76 mm and the position of the cylindrical hole to ensure correct clamping and axial support.

Is the chipbreaker suitable for heavy cuts?
The double-sided chipbreaker is designed to provide stable chip formation across a range of feeds and depths; it enhances process reliability in both finishing and moderate roughing operations.
