Medium-to-heavy turning insert


Tungaloy’s TurnTen-Feed line adds a new insert grade, AH8015, for efficient medium-to-heavy turning of heat-resistant alloys and stainless steel.

TurnTen-Feed incorporates a cost-effective double-sided insert with 10 cutting edges, which is securely clamped on the holder with a Dovetail interlock to ensure high insert reliability and stability during demanding medium-to-heavy turning operations.

The dedicated -MNW geometry is designed to provide smooth chip flow when fed at a rate as high as 2mm per rev (0.078ipr) without sacrificing surface integrity thanks to the built-in wiper flat.

Two types of holders are available extending its application options: the HD (High Depth-of-cut) holder for greater depths-of-cut of up to 7mm and HF (High Feed) holder which enables high feed turning of up to 2mm per rev. These holders can accommodate either type of insert.

The AH8015 grade consists of a nano-structured multilayer PVD coating with high aluminum content. Its exceptional wear and fracture resistance contributes to process security during machining of heat-resistant alloys and stainless steel as well as significantly boosts productivity in heavy-duty roughing of difficult materials and large components.
