Tungaloy TCMT16T308-24 T9115 Turning Insert

High-Speed Steel Machining | Premium T9115 CVD Carbide | 0.8mm Radius

What is the most reliable carbide insert for high-speed steel turning?

The Tungaloy TCMT16T308-24 T9115 is a high-performance triangular turning insert specifically engineered for ISO P (Steel) applications. Featuring the legendary T9115 CVD coated carbide grade, this insert excels in high-speed continuous cutting where thermal stability is paramount. The -24 chipbreaker is designed for finishing to medium cutting, providing a perfect balance between sharp cutting action and edge strength. The 0.8mm corner radius ensures excellent edge durability and high surface quality. 100% Made in Japan, it provides the reliability needed for high-productivity CNC manufacturing.

T9115 CVD Technology

A specialized CVD coating with a thick Al2O3 layer that provides extreme heat resistance. It is optimized for high-speed machining of carbon and alloy steels.

-24 Universal Breaker

Engineered for finishing to medium cutting depths. It provides superior chip control at high feed rates, significantly reducing machine downtime caused by chip wrapping.

0.8mm Edge Strength

The larger 0.8mm radius (08) provides a robust cutting edge capable of withstanding higher cutting forces while maintaining smooth surface finishes.

3. Technical Specifications: Metric vs. Imperial

Parameter Metric (ISO) Imperial Equivalent
Cutting Edge Length (L) 16.5 mm TCMT 32.52
Inscribed Circle (IC) 9.525 mm 3/8"
Thickness (S) 3.97 mm 5/32"
Corner Radius (RE) 0.8 mm 1/32"

Recommended Cutting Parameters (T9115)

  • Cutting Speed (Vc): 140 - 350 m/min
  • Feed Rate (f): 0.10 - 0.35 mm/rev
  • Depth of Cut (ap): 0.5 - 3.0 mm

*Optimization Tip: T9115 is Tungaloy's first choice for steel turning. Higher cutting speeds can be utilized due to the superior heat resistance of the T9100 series coating.*

4. Product Applications

  • High-speed finishing and semi-finishing of carbon steel (S45C, etc.).
  • Automotive components requiring high dimensional precision.
  • Long-reach boring where stable chip breaking is required.
  • Machining of alloy steels and tool steels under continuous cutting.

5. Tool Compatibility

Compatible with standard Tungaloy / ISO tool holders designed for TCMT 16T3 size inserts (3/8" Inscribed Circle). Fits various STFCR/L external shanks and boring bars.

"Very consistent quality across multiple batches. Tungaloy Japan quality is hard to beat for high-volume manufacturing."

8. FAQ - Technical Assistance

Q: Is T9115 better than T9125 for steel?

A: T9115 is harder and more wear-resistant, making it better for high-speed continuous cutting. T9125 offers slightly more toughness for light interruptions.

Q: What is the benefit of the -24 chipbreaker?

A: It is a versatile breaker that excels in finishing to light-medium cutting, ensuring chips break consistently to prevent workpiece damage.

Q: Can I use this for stainless steel?

A: It is primarily designed for ISO P (Steel). For stainless steel (ISO M), we recommend using Tungaloy's AH7000 series or specialized stainless grades.

Industrial Tip: CVD vs. PVD Coating

The **T9115 CVD coating** provides a thick thermal barrier, perfect for high-speed steel turning where heat is a factor. For smaller parts or low-speed precision work, a **PVD coated grade** like AH725 might be preferred. For high-volume steel production, **Tungaloy Japan** is the professional choice.

Technical FAQ & Buying Guide

Are your carbide inserts interchangeable with major brands like Sandvik, Iscar, or Kennametal?

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.

How do I choose the correct insert grade and chipbreaker for machining Stainless Steel (M) vs. Carbon Steel (P)?

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.
What are the recommended cutting speed (Vc) and feed rate (f) parameters to maximize tool life?

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.
Do you offer bulk discounts or wholesale pricing for machine shops and distributors?

Yes, we support machine shops, distributors, and global buyers with tiered wholesale pricing and competitive volume discounts. We also provide OEM custom manufacturing solutions for tool holders and carbide inserts based on your technical drawings. Contact our team to request a quick B2B quotation.
