WNMG 080404 AH8015 — ISO turning indexable insert for general turning, Tungaloy

A WNMG080404 AH8015 indexable insert designed for ISO turning applications, optimised for the general machining of heat-resistant alloys and balanced tool life.

• ISO WNMG 080404 trigon geometry
• PVD-coated carbide grade AH8015
• Balanced wear resistance and edge stability
• Double-sided chipbreaker, cylindrical hole

Reliable performance for demanding turning tasks

The AH8015 grade is a PVD-coated carbide designed to combine wear resistance with a stable cutting edge, which supports reproducible results in series production. The insert’s trigon form and double-sided layout extend usable life per plate, while the 0.4 mm corner radius gives a predictable cutting profile for external and internal turning. For process planners, the geometry and coating reduce the need for frequent insert changes, enhancing uptime and improving overall machining efficiency.

Secure clamping and ISO compatibility for consistent set-up

Compatibility to the toolholder is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixing, size and thickness; the insert is supplied with a cylindrical hole for positive clamping in standard WNMG pockets. The ISO WNMG 080404 designation ensures interchangeability across compliant holders, while the 4.76 mm plate thickness and 0° clearance maintain rigidity under moderate to heavy cut conditions. These characteristics translate into consistent runout control and repeatable positioning in automated setups.

Application advantage: machining heat‑resistant alloys

Selected as a first choice for the general machining of heat‑resistant alloys, the grade offers a balanced compromise between hardness and toughness. The double-sided chipbreaker helps control chip form in mixed cutting conditions, lowering the risk of built-up edge and protecting the cutting edge integrity. Using this insert in turning operations supports improved surface finish and process stability when handling alloys that tend to work-harden or generate elevated cutting temperatures.

Practical considerations for production planning

The insert’s combination of PVD coating, trigon geometry and AH8015 composition supports a wide coverage of materials when combined with the correct chipbreaker and cutting data. Stock management benefits from the double-sided design, as each plate offers two usable cutting edges, and the cylindrical hole simplifies rotation and indexing. For toolroom engineers, the clear ISO designation reduces setup errors and aids straightforward tool inventory classification.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The WNMG 080404 AH8015 insert is intended primarily for the general machining of heat‑resistant alloys; the AH8015 grade balances wear resistance and edge stability for such materials.

How does the insert secure to the holder?
Clamping is via a cylindrical hole and standard WNMG pockets; the ISO WNMG 080404 geometry ensures correct fitment with compatible holders and clamping sets.

How large is the corner radius and what does it affect?
The corner radius is 0.4 mm, which influences the strength of the cutting edge and the resultant surface finish; it is a compromise between robustness and finish quality.

Is the coating specified and why is it important?
The plate is PVD-coated, providing a coating layer that enhances wear resistance and thermal stability, which helps extend tool life under elevated cutting temperatures.
