TNMG 160408 GT9530 triangular turning insert, coated cermet, Tungaloy

The TNMG160408 GT9530 is a coated triangular turning insert designed for external and internal turning, offering fine finishing performance under stable cutting conditions.

• Coated cermet for extended tool life
• Optimised double-sided chipbreaker
• 0.8 mm corner radius for fine surfaces
• ISO‑standard form with 60° included angle

High-precision finishing with extended tool life

The coated cermet grade GT9530 delivers a measurable increase in wear resistance compared with standard finishing grades, resulting in longer tool life and fewer interruptions in production. Cermet combines ceramic hardness with metal toughness, which reduces flank wear while maintaining a precision surface finish on steel materials. The coating stabilises the cutting edge at moderate speeds and steady feeds, so finishing passes remain consistent and rework is minimised. This benefit is particularly notable in stable setups where process reliability is paramount.

Consistent chip control for improved process security

Equipped with a double-sided chipbreaker, this insert enhances chip formation and evacuation, reducing the risk of built-up edge and improving repeatability across batches. Stable chip control contributes directly to higher machine uptime and reduces cycle variability, a rational advantage for series production. The triangular geometry with a 60° included angle allows multiple indexed positions, improving economy per insert and simplifying inventory management. Where surface quality and predictable tool wear matter, the optimised chip control supports a safer, more efficient turning process.

ISO compatibility and practical handling to save set-up time

The ISO designation ensures compatibility with standard TNMG holders; the insert's dimensions (size 16, thickness 4.76 mm) and 0.8 mm corner radius suit fine finishing and light-general turning tasks. A cylindrical hole and clear tolerance class permit secure clamping in common holders, while the substrate of carbide and the GT9530 coating are matched to typical steel applications for stable conditions. Clear system planning — matching holder form, relief angle and screw type — reduces trial-and-error during set-up and helps maintain consistent component quality on the shop floor.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The GT9530-coated TNMG160408 insert is optimised for turning steel in stable machining conditions, offering improved surface quality and wear resistance.

How does the chipbreaker influence machining?
The double-sided chipbreaker promotes reliable chip formation and evacuation, which stabilises cutting forces and supports consistent part quality.

Can the insert be indexed to multiple cutting edges?
Yes, the triangular geometry and ISO conformity allow indexing to additional edges, increasing the number of usable cutting positions per insert.

Which holder features are required for correct mounting?
A matching TNMG holder with the correct form, tolerance and clamping screw is required; the cylindrical hole and standard thickness enable secure fastening in common holders.

What benefit does the 0.8 mm corner radius provide?
A 0.8 mm corner radius balances edge strength and surface finish, making it suitable for fine finishing passes where edge robustness and visual quality are both important.
