TNMG 160404 GT9530 Tungaloy indexable insert for Turning, coated cermet, ISO 160404

TNMG160404 GT9530 Tungaloy-Wendeplatte is an ISO-format insert designed for external and internal turning where high-quality surface finish and extended life under stable conditions are required

• Coated cermet for superior wear resistance
• Optimised for finishing and light universal turning
• Triangular 16 mm size with 0.4 mm nose radius
• Cylindrical hole, double-sided chipbreaker

Consistent finishing and prolonged tool life from GT9530

The GT9530 grade combines a coated cermet substrate with a coating engineered for wear resistance, delivering a clear benefit where consistent surface quality and longer intervals between changes are priorities. As a finishing to light universal grade, this solution reduces the frequency of regrinds and machine downtime by maintaining a stable cutting edge under steady feed and depth conditions. The result is predictable process behaviour and reduced intervention in serial production.

Geometry engineered for repeatable accuracy and interoperability

The insert follows the ISO 160404 designation with a triangular form and a 60° included angle, providing a rigid geometry well suited to turning operations that demand positional accuracy. The 0.4 mm nose radius and 0° clearance (facing geometry) support fine surface finishes and controllable cutting forces. Compatibility with holders is determined by form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness, so the insert integrates into standard indexable systems without compromise.

Application-focused chip control and material suitability

Equipped with a double-sided chipbreaker, the insert supports efficient chip control during finishing passes and light general turning. The grade is particularly intended for machining steel in stable setups where surface appearance and tool life are critical. The chipbreaker design aids swarf evacuation and consistent cutting conditions, which in turn help achieve repeatable part quality and reduce secondary operations.

System benefits and practical handling in production

As part of a system consisting of the ISO insert, a matched external holder or boring bar, underlay/locking set and spare screws, the component enables quick replacement and straightforward inventory management. The cylindrical hole with matching clamp geometry ensures secure fixing and repeatable seating. For production planning, the combination of a robust cutting material and standardised form supports predictable process capability and efficient tool-change routines.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The GT9530 grade insert is intended primarily for machining steel, offering a finishing-capable coated cermet that balances surface quality and tool life.

How does the chipbreaker affect performance?
The double-sided chipbreaker on the insert promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation, supporting consistent cutting forces and improved surface finish during finishing passes.

Is the insert compatible with standard ISO holders?
Compatibility is determined by form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening and size; the TNMG160404 follows ISO 160404 and fits standard holders designed for that designation.

What is the advantage of the 0.4 mm nose radius?
A 0.4 mm nose radius provides a compromise between edge strength and fine surface finish, helping to reduce cutting vibration while delivering precise surface quality.

Which SKU should be ordered for this Tungaloy insert?
Order using SKU 6998099-Tungaloy or manufacturer SKU TUN6998099 to ensure the correct TNMG160404 GT9530 insert is supplied.
