The Original Korloy DNMG150604-HM NC3020 (ANSI Standard: DNMG 441) is an extra-thick 55° diamond turning insert designed for stable finishing of Steel (P) and Carbon Steel. With a thickness of 6.35mm, the DNMG1506 series provides significantly better heat absorption and mechanical strength than the standard 1504 series. The NC3020 CVD grade excels in high-speed continuous cutting, offering superior resistance to crater wear and ensuring maximum dimensional precision for large-scale components.
Superior Stability: The increased thickness (T=6.35mm) of the DNMG 441 makes it the go-to choice for heavy-duty machines where vibration and heat buildup are concerns. It maintains a sharp edge longer during extended finishing passes on large diameters.
Technical Specifications:
| Brand | Korloy (100% Genuine) |
| ISO Code | DNMG150604-HM |
| ANSI Code | DNMG 441 |
| Grade | NC3020 (Premium CVD for Steel) |
| Thickness | 6.35 mm (Heavy-Duty Stability) |
Core Performance Benefits:
- Enhanced Heat Dissipation: The thicker substrate acts as a massive heat sink, preventing the cutting edge from softening during high-speed operation.
- HM Precision Geometry: Optimized for finishing to semi-finishing, delivering excellent chip control even at shallow depths of cut.
- CVD Al2O3 Technology: NC3020 provides a formidable thermal barrier, protecting against abrasive wear in alloy and carbon steels.
- High Edge Security: Ideal for long turning applications where maintaining a constant size is critical.
Recommended Cutting Parameters:
| Material Group | Cutting Speed (Vc) | Feed Rate (f) | Depth of Cut (ap) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mild Steel (S45C) | 200 - 380 m/min | 0.08 - 0.20 mm/rev | 0.2 - 2.0 mm |
| Alloy Steel (4140) | 180 - 320 m/min | 0.05 - 0.18 mm/rev | 0.2 - 1.5 mm |
| Stainless Steel (Roughing) | 120 - 240 m/min | 0.10 - 0.25 mm/rev | 0.5 - 2.5 mm |
Compatible Tool Holders:
Ensure your holder is designed for the 6.35mm thickness (1506 pocket):
- External Turning: DDJNR/L 2525M15 / 3232P15 (Heavy Duty)
- Large Boring Bars: S32T-DDUNR15 / S40U-DDUNR15 / S50V-DDUNR15
Thickness Choice: DNMG 1506 vs. DNMG 1504
Why professional machinists choose the 1506 (6.35mm thick) series:
Best for Stability & Rigidity. The extra 1.6mm thickness makes the insert much more resistant to fracturing under high pressure and heat. Use this for your most demanding steel finishing jobs.
The Standard Economy. Suitable for general-purpose turning where extreme heat or high-pressure stability isn't the primary concern. More common and fits more standard holders.
Machinist's Pro Tip: If you are getting inconsistent part sizes during long passes on big shafts, the 1506 series in NC3020 will solve your problem by minimizing thermal expansion of the insert itself.
Packaging: 10 pieces per box.
