VNGA160404TM-2 WBH10C indexable turning insert for hardened steels — Walter Tools

VNGA160404TM-2 WBH10C is an indexable turning insert designed for hard turning operations on hardened steels and similar high-wear materials

• CBN grade WBH10C for hard turning
• Rhombic 35° geometry for versatile cuts
• 0° negative rake for stable cutting
• 0.4 mm corner radius for repeatable edge

Consistent tool life for hard materials

The insert’s CBN composition and the WBH10C grade deliver exemplary wear resistance when machining hardened steels, offering predictable tool life in demanding operations. The coated CBN substrate is engineered for high contact pressures and elevated temperatures, which reduces flank and crater wear compared with conventional carbide grades. This stability translates into fewer index changes, less downtime and higher process reliability on components that require repeatable dimensions and surface integrity.

Stable cutting and geometric benefits

The Rhombus 35° geometry combined with a 0° negative rake promotes cutting stability and robust edge retention under heavy cuts. This configuration minimises chatter and supports steady plunge and face-turning cycles, particularly in interrupted cuts or rigid setups. The 0.4 mm corner radius provides a compromise between strength and edge sharpness, helping to maintain dimensional accuracy while reducing the risk of premature edge chipping during hard machining.

Application guidance and expected outcomes

Designed specifically for hard machining tasks, the insert excels in finishing and semi-finishing of high-hardness components. When used within recommended feeds and depths, the indexable turning insert enables consistent surface quality and repeatable tolerances, reducing rework rates. For operations on hardened steels as defined by ISO group H, this CBN grade offers a technical solution that balances productivity and process security, especially in series production and repair work where repeatable performance is essential.
