TNGG160404 GT9530 Tungaloy turning insert (ISO triangular, 60°)

The TNGG160404 GT9530 is an ISO-standard triangular turning insert intended for finishing to light general turning; designed to provide wear resistance and consistent surface results under stable cutting conditions.

• Coated cermet grade GT9530 for wear resistance
• ISO triangular insert, 60° cutting geometry
• 0.4 mm corner radius for fine surface finish
• Compatible with ISO external holders, with cylindrical hole

Proven finishing and extended tool life

The coated cermet grade provides a balance between hardness and toughness that is especially effective for finishing operations. The GT9530 composition is engineered to reduce flank wear under steady cutting conditions, which translates into longer intervals between indexings and lower tool-change overhead. With a 0.4 mm corner radius, the insert supports a fine surface finish without compromising the edge strength required for light to medium feeds. Fewer interruptions in production and more consistent part geometry are practical outcomes of this combination.

Seamless integration with ISO holders and secure clamping

The triangular ISO geometry and the 60° cutting angle ensure broad compatibility with standard external holders and boring bars. Compatibility depends on form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; matching these parameters avoids misfits and instability. The insert’s cylindrical hole supports positive locating and repeatable clamping, so set-up time is reduced and process repeatability improves. Where short changeover times matter, the standardised form makes it straightforward to replace worn inserts without modifying the clamping system.

Process stability and material suitability for steel turning

This grade is aimed principally at turning steel in finishing to light universal operations when a good surface and longer life are required. The combination of a coated cermet cutting surface and a carbide substrate gives a controlled wear pattern and reliable edge retention where cutting conditions are stable. The double-sided chipbreaker contributes to predictable chip formation and evacuation, which supports consistent tool life and part quality. For applications that demand repeatable finishes and predictable tool performance, this insert is a suitable choice.

Practical recommendations for selection and use

Select the double-sided chipbreaker and the GT9530 grade when process stability and surface quality are priorities; for less stable setups or interrupted cuts consider alternative geometries or mounting strategies. The insert’s 16 mm size and 4.76 mm thickness provide a robust contact area that benefits rigidity in the tool assembly. If there is any uncertainty about holder choice, tolerance class or best feed/speed window, Metav Werkzeuge’s technical consultants are available to advise on matching the insert to the machine and workpiece material; practical guidance helps avoid premature wear and improves overall productivity.

FAQ

Which materials can be machined with this insert?
The insert is optimised for steel in finishing to light universal turning; the GT9530 grade prioritises wear resistance and surface quality under stable conditions.

What benefit does the 0.4 mm corner radius provide?
A 0.4 mm corner radius improves edge strength for fine finishes and helps achieve consistent surface quality while maintaining adequate resistance to edge chipping.

How is holder compatibility determined for this insert?
Compatibility depends on the insert form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; matching these parameters ensures secure clamping and process stability with ISO holders.

Is the insert indexable and how many cutting edges are available?
The triangular ISO shape is indexable and the insert is double-sided, offering multiple usable edges before replacement is required.

What cutting conditions suit the GT9530 grade best?
The GT9530 coated cermet is designed for stable cutting conditions where a good surface finish and longer tool life are desired; select feeds and speeds to maintain a steady, uninterrupted cut.
