KORLOY TNMG160404-HA PC9030 Indexable Carbide Turning Inserts | TNMG331-HA (ANSI Equivalent) PVD Coated Inserts for Stainless Steel Machining - 10pcs/box
High-Performance ISO-Standard 60° Triangular Negative Indexable Turning Cutters Optimized for Precision Machining and Finishing of Stainless Steels, Heat-Resistant Superalloys, and Low-Carbon Steels
1. Product Overview
"Which indexable turning insert provides exceptional edge sharpness and prevents work-hardening when machining sticky austenitic stainless steels and high-temperature alloys?" CNC programmers and manufacturing engineers routinely specify the KORLOY TNMG160404-HA PC9030. This industrial-grade cutting insert pairs an advanced PC9030 PVD multi-layer coated tough carbide grade with a specialized -HA sharp finishing chipbreaker, delivering low cutting forces, excellent resistance to built-up edge (BUE), and superior surface finish integrity. Featuring a 60° triangular negative geometry for economic multi-edge utilization and a precision 0.4mm corner radius, it guarantees strict dimensional control and smooth chip evacuation in demanding stainless steel turning environments.
2. Product Key Features
- PC9030 Advanced PVD Coated Grade: Combines a fine-grain high-toughness substrate with a specialized thin PVD multilayer coating optimized for high thermal shock resistance, smooth surface finish, and strong resistance to adhesion and notch wear in stainless steels.
- HA Sharp Chipbreaker & 0.4mm Radius: Designed with a sharp, positive rake angle ground geometry to minimize cutting resistance and heat generation during light finishing, paired with a 0.4mm corner radius for fine profiling.
- ISO Standard Compliance: Manufactured strictly according to international coding standards for secure mechanical clamping and dependable tool repeatability across multi-axis lathes.
- Standard Industrial Packaging: Supplied in protective factory boxes containing 10 pieces for straightforward inventory control and shop floor management.

Technical FAQ & Buying Guide
Absolutely. Our CNC carbide inserts (including CNMG, WNMG, DNMG, and APMT series) are manufactured strictly adhering to international ISO/ANSI specifications. A CNMG 120408 from OYYU BEYOND will flawlessly fit any standard turning tool holder or indexable tool from major global brands like Sandvik Coromant, Kennametal, Iscar, Walter, or SECO, providing a highly cost-effective premium alternative without sacrificing tolerance or tool life.
We offer optimized CVD and PVD multi-layer coatings for different ISO material groups:
- For Carbon/Alloy Steel (ISO P): Choose our thick multi-layer CVD coated grades (e.g., Al2O3 + TiN). They provide exceptional crater wear resistance and thermal barriers during high-speed dry or wet roughing.
- For Stainless Steel (ISO M): Choose our nano-structured PVD coated grades with sharp, positive chipbreakers (like -TM or -MA). This combination prevents work hardening and effectively controls sticky chips.
The optimal cutting parameters vary depending on the workpiece hardness and operation type:
- For General Steel Turnings: Recommended cutting speed ($V_c$) ranges from 150 to 280 m/min, with a feed rate ($f$) of 0.15 to 0.45 mm/rev.
- For Stainless Steel Finishing: Recommended cutting speed ($V_c$) is 120 to 200 m/min, with a feed rate ($f$) of 0.10 to 0.25 mm/rev.Always adjust parameters based on early wear patterns: increase $V_c$ if built-up edge occurs, or reduce $V_c$ if severe flank wear is observed.
