TNGG160308 NS9530 Tungaloy turning insert (ISO triangular, finishing)

The TNGG160308 NS9530 is an ISO-standard triangular turning insert designed for finishing operations on steel, optimised for continuous cuts and small depths of cut.

• Finishing grade NS9530 cermet
• Sharp cutting edge for low cutting forces
• Triangle 60° form, 16 mm size
• Double-sided chipbreaker, cylindrical hole

High-precision finishing with low cutting forces

The combination of the NS9530 grade and an uncoated cermet edge is engineered for refined surface quality and consistent results in finishing turns. As a finishing insert it is particularly effective at maintaining a sharp cutting edge, which reduces required feed force and vibration. This leads to a measurable improvement in surface integrity and repeatability when machining steels at small depths of cut. The geometry promotes continuous chip formation where process stability is the priority, so the cutting action focuses on producing an excellent final surface rather than heavy material removal.

Simple integration into ISO turning systems

Designed as part of an ISO turning insert series, the component fits common external holders when form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness match. The 60° triangular shape with a nominal size of 16 mm and a plate thickness of 3.18 mm allows reliable clamping in standard toolholders; the cylindrical hole provides secure fastening. The double-sided chipbreaker extends usable life by permitting indexation of both cutting edges, supporting efficient tool-change routines and reduced tooling costs per component processed.

Why the cermet grade benefits finishing on steel

Cermet cutting grades are chosen for finishing because they retain a keen edge and produce a fine surface without excessive built-up edge. The uncoated formulation of this grade favours low cutting forces and attractive surface finishes on steels under continuous cutting conditions. The modest corner radius of 0.8 mm helps to balance edge strength with surface quality, limiting the risk of edge chipping while still allowing fine finishing passes. Manufactured by Tungaloy, the insert is intended for reliable, repeatable performance where surface specification and dimensional consistency matter most.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for? The TNGG160308 NS9530 insert is formulated as a finishing grade for steels and performs best in continuous turning operations where high surface quality is required.

Can the insert be indexed to use multiple edges? Yes, the double-sided chipbreaker allows the insert to be rotated and indexed to present fresh cutting edges, extending the productive life of each plate.

What size and geometry should the toolholder have? A toolholder compatible with ISO triangular inserts with a 60° included angle, 16 mm nominal size and a 3.18 mm plate thickness is required to secure the TNGG160308 correctly.

Is a coated grade available for heavier cuts? This offering is an uncoated cermet finishing grade; for heavier or interrupted cuts a different coated carbide or tougher grade should be selected based on application demands.

How does the corner radius affect finish and strength? The 0.8 mm corner radius provides a compromise between edge strength and surface finish—small enough for fine finishes but sufficient to resist premature edge chipping under finishing feeds.
