TNGA160404TM-3 WBH10 indexable turning insert by Walter Tools — CBN grade for hardened steels, triangular 60°

TNGA160404TM-3 WBH10 is a triangular 60° indexable turning insert designed for demanding hard machining tasks on hardened steels.

• CBN grade WBH10 for hardened steels
• Triangular 60° geometry for versatile cutting
• 0.4 mm corner radius for stable edge life
• Negative 0° rake for heavy-duty turning

High-performance hard turning with predictable results

The combination of a CBN-based WBH10 grade and a triangular insert geometry delivers predictable cutting performance in hard turning operations. The CBN formulation is optimised for severe wear resistance, which translates into longer tool life and reduced tool-change frequency. With a chipbreaker 3 configuration and a defined 0.4 mm corner radius, the insert supports controlled chip formation and consistent surface finishes on hardened workpieces. This results in fewer interruptions on the shop floor and improved process stability.

Geometry and cutting geometry that support productivity

A triangular 60° shape provides multiple usable cutting edges per insert and versatile approach angles for external turning profiles. The negative 0° rake increases cutting-edge robustness, allowing secure engagement in interrupted cuts and heavy-section turning. Because the insert design favours edge strength and repeatability, manufacturers achieve higher metal removal rates without compromising surface quality, supporting efficiency gains and cost-effectiveness in serial production.

Material applicability and machining scope

Engineered primarily for hardened steels, the insert’s CBN substrate is tailored to withstand elevated temperatures and abrasive contact typical of hard machining. The grade is suitable for prehardened and fully hardened components where standard carbide solutions would wear prematurely. As a result, the insert enables reliable finishing and semi-finishing passes on heat-treated shafts, bearings and similar components, contributing to consistent dimensional control and improved component life.

Practical handling and integration into tool systems

The insert’s size code and thickness code ensure compatibility with established indexable toolholders in industrial turning centres. The triangular format provides a favourable balance between edge life and indexing economy. Toolroom personnel benefit from straightforward handling, clear identification of grade and geometry, and straightforward replacement procedures that keep downtime to a minimum. When combined with proper cutting data and coolant strategy, the result is dependable, repeatable machining performance.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The TNGA160404TM-3 WBH10 insert is formulated with the WBH10 CBN grade and is intended primarily for hardened steels and hard-machining tasks.

How does the CBN grade affect productivity?
The CBN-based WBH10 delivers superior wear resistance and thermal stability, allowing longer tool life and fewer insert changes compared with conventional carbide grades when machining hardened components.

What cutting conditions suit a negative 0° rake insert?
A negative 0° rake provides a robust cutting edge for heavy-duty turning and interrupted cuts; the insert is therefore well suited to demanding finishing and semi-finishing operations on hardened parts.

Is the triangular 60° format advantageous for indexable systems?
Yes — the triangular 60° geometry offers multiple cutting edges per insert and versatile approach options, improving edge utilisation and reducing tooling costs in serial production.
