TNGG 160404 GT9530 turning insert — Coated cermet, 60° triangular — Tungaloy

The TNGG160404 GT9530 is an ISO-standard triangular turning insert designed for finishing and light general turning of steel under stable machining conditions

• Coated cermet grade GT9530
• ISO triangular 16 mm insert
• Double-sided chipbreaker design
• Cylindrical-hole fixing, 0° relief angle

Improved surface finish with consistent wear resistance

The GT9530 grade is a coated cermet developed for wear-resistant finishing and light universal turning. Its chemistry and coating deliver a stable cutting edge that helps to achieve a fine surface quality on steel where vibration is limited and rigidity is high. The 60° triangular geometry, combined with a 0.4 mm corner radius, supports accurate profile definition while the double-sided chipbreaker maintains predictable chip formation. These attributes result in fewer reworks and a more efficient machining cycle that favours throughput and lower overall machining costs.

Reliable holder compatibility and simple tooling integration

This insert conforms to ISO norms for indexable turning plates, so compatibility with suitable external holders, boring bars and clamping sets is determined by form, relief angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness. The cylindrical hole mounting ensures a secure clamping interface and straightforward insert changeover. Specifying the correct holder and tightening torque ensures repeatable seat seating and best surface results; pairing the insert with a matched holder reduces micro-movement and secures cutting stability during external and internal turning operations.

GT9530 advantages: productivity and predictable tool life

The coated cermet composition provides improved wear behaviour compared with conventional finishing grades, extending the effective tool life when cutting under recommended conditions. The grade is optimised for stable cutting and produces consistent results across batches, which supports planning in series production. Because the insert is double-sided, economics are enhanced by the ability to rotate and re-use the second cutting edge, improving cost-efficiency per index. The ISO-standard shape also simplifies inventory management across different machines.

Practical guidance for application and handling

For optimal results with this triangular insert, select cutting parameters that prioritise rigidity and steady feed rates; sudden load variations can affect edge life on cermet grades. The 4.76 mm plate thickness and 16 mm inscribed circle provide mechanical robustness in moderate-depth cuts, while the 0° relief angle suits many finishing passes. Store inserts in their original packaging to prevent edge damage and inspect clamping seats for cleanliness before use. Trial cuts under representative conditions are recommended to establish the best speed and feed window for the specific steel grade being machined.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for?
The TNGG160404 GT9530 insert is specified for finishing to light universal turning of steel and performs best under stable cutting conditions where a fine surface finish is required.

How is the insert clamped in the holder?
Clamping is via a cylindrical hole; the TNGG160404 GT9530 uses a central hole for secure seating and straightforward tightening in compatible ISO holders.

Can both sides of the insert be used?
Yes, the insert features a double-sided chipbreaker, allowing both cutting edges to be indexed for extended service life and improved cost per edge.

What are the key dimensions to consider when selecting a holder?
Important dimensions are the inscribed circle (16 mm), plate thickness (4.76 mm) and the ISO code 160404, which together determine form fit, tolerance class and compatible clamping systems.
