TPGR160304 NS9530 ISO turning insert for turning — Tungaloy

The TPGR160304 NS9530 is a triangular ISO indexable insert for external and internal turning, engineered as a finishing grade for steel with a sharp cutting edge and low cutting forces

• Sharp cutting edge for superior surface finish
• Uncoated cermet grade NS9530 for fine finishing
• 0.4 mm corner radius for precise profiles
• Compatible with ISO triangular turning holders

Fine finishing on steel with lower cutting forces

The uncoated cermet composition of this insert is formulated for finishing operations on steel, providing a sharp cutting edge that reduces cutting forces and improves surface integrity. As a finishing grade, NS9530 is optimised for continuous cuts and small depths of cut, delivering consistent surface roughness without aggressive edge build-up. The combination of a hard cermet substrate and a honed geometry enables stable metal removal with reduced chatter, making it well suited to precision components where dimensional tolerance and finish are critical.

Predictable chip control and repeatable results

Equipped with a one-sided chipbreaker and a precise corner radius of 0.4 mm, the insert supports controlled chip formation in finishing passes. Controlled chips reduce the risk of built-up edge and heat concentration, which in turn extends the effective cutting window and contributes to repeatable part quality. The insert’s geometry and grade yield a reliable interaction between tool and workpiece, improving process stability and lowering the incidence of scrap in serial production.

Designed for easy integration into ISO tooling systems

Compatibility with the ISO system is determined by form, rake angle (11°), tolerance class, clamping and size. The insert’s triangular shape and standard 16 mm size allow straightforward fitting in most ISO triangular holders; thickness and mounting type must match the chosen carrier. This standardisation simplifies inventory management and reduces set-up time across different lathes, enabling faster changeovers and consistent seating and repeatability in production environments.

Practical application and selection guidance

For finishing on steel, select this grade when the goal is high surface quality and low cutting forces under continuous-cut conditions. The modest thickness and the honed geometry suit small radial engagements and light feeds. When pairing the insert with a holder, consider the required tolerance class and clamping style to ensure stable fixation. Where higher feeds or interrupted cuts are expected, evaluate tougher grades or coated alternatives; for fine finishing and profile accuracy, this insert provides an efficient balance of edge sharpness and life.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The NS9530 grade is optimised for finishing on steel; the TPGR160304 NS9530 insert excels in continuous cuts and small depths of cut for superior surface finish.

How does the 0.4 mm corner radius affect performance?
A 0.4 mm corner radius delivers a balance between profile precision and edge strength, improving finished surface quality while maintaining acceptable edge life for finishing passes.

Is the insert compatible with standard ISO triangular holders?
Yes — the triangular form and 16 mm size are compatible with ISO triangular turning holders provided the holder matches the insert thickness, clamp style and tolerance class.

What does uncoated cermet mean for cutting performance?
Uncoated cermet offers a very sharp cutting edge and excellent surface finish capability; it is particularly effective for continuous finishing operations on steel where low cutting forces are required.

Which geometry parameters should be checked for holder compatibility?
Verify form, rake angle (11°), clamp/tolerance class, insert thickness (3.18 mm) and size (16 mm) to ensure correct seating and repeatable clamping performance.
