Tungaloy TNMG160404-TS NS9530 Cermet Insert

High-Precision Cermet Grade | TS Finishing Geometry | Mirror Surface Quality

How do I achieve a mirror finish on steel turning parts?

The Tungaloy TNMG160404-TS NS9530 is a high-tech cermet turning insert engineered for the ultimate precision finishing of steel. Unlike traditional carbide, the NS9530 Cermet grade provides exceptional chemical stability, which drastically reduces the tendency for material to stick to the cutting edge. Combined with the TS (Turning Standard) chipbreaker, it ensures tight chip control and a superior surface finish that often eliminates the need for secondary grinding. 100% Made in Japan, this is the industrial choice for high-speed finishing operations.

NS9530 Premium Cermet

An uncoated cermet grade with a high resistance to plastic deformation. It maintains a sharp edge for longer durations compared to carbide when finishing carbon and alloy steels.

TS Precision Geometry

The -TS chipbreaker is optimized for finishing to light-cutting applications. It features a sharp rake angle that shears through material cleanly, reducing vibration and heat buildup.

Excellent Thermal Stability

Because cermets have high heat resistance, the TNMG160404-TS allows for higher cutting speeds (Vc), increasing productivity while maintaining tight dimensional tolerances.

3. Technical Data: Metric (ISO) vs. Imperial (ANSI)

Technical Parameter Metric (ISO) Imperial (ANSI)
Standard Model TNMG160404-TS TNMG 331-TS
Inscribed Circle (IC) 9.525 mm 3/8"
Thickness (S) 4.76 mm 3/16"
Corner Radius (RE) 0.4 mm 1/64"

Recommended Cutting Parameters (High Finish)

  • Cutting Speed (Vc): 100 - 350 m/min (Ideally >200 for best finish)
  • Feed Rate (f): 0.05 - 0.20 mm/rev
  • Depth of Cut (ap): 0.2 - 2.0 mm

*Pro-Tip: When using NS9530 cermet, avoid heavy cooling shocks. Higher speeds often result in a brighter, more refined surface.*

4. Primary Applications

  • High-quality finishing of low-carbon steels.
  • Machining of alloy steels and mold components.
  • Automotive shaft finishing where glossiness is key.
  • Precision turning of bearing surfaces.

5. Tool Compatibility

Standard ISO TNMG 1604 pockets. Securely fits with MTJNR/L, WTJNR/L, or DTGNR/L holders. Engineered for all leading CNC brands: Haas, Citizen, Mazak, and Brother.

Global Machinist Reviews

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Mirror Surface" - Hiroshi M., Japan
"NS9530 is my go-to for final passes. The parts come out looking like they were polished. Highly recommended."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "No Built-up Edge" - Thomas B., Germany
"Cermet is amazing for sticky carbon steel. These Tungaloy inserts maintain dimensions across 1000s of parts."

⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Great for Swiss Lathes" - Sanjay P., India
"We use these on our small CNCs for medical components. The TS chipbreaker handles the finish perfectly."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Authentic Source" - Robert L., USA
"Received original Tungaloy Japan stock from Beyond. The finish on 1045 steel is spectacular."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Long Edge Life" - Elena S., Italy
"Fantastic cermet grade. It doesn't flake like some others we've tried. Very cost-efficient 6 edges."

8. FAQ - Professional Support

Q: Can I use cermet for interrupted cuts?

A: Generally, cermet is more brittle than carbide. It is best used for continuous finishing. For heavy interruptions, a toughened carbide like T9125 is better.

Q: Does NS9530 require special coolant?

A: Not necessarily, but cermet thrives in dry or consistent air-blow cooling to avoid thermal cracking. If using liquid coolant, ensure it is high volume and consistent.

Q: What is the maximum speed for this grade?

A: You can comfortably reach up to 350-400 m/min in soft steels, which is where cermet really shows its advantage over carbide.

Tech Tip: The Cermet Advantage

The **NS9530 Cermet grade** is a composite of ceramic and metallic materials. Its primary advantage is low affinity to steel, meaning it won't "weld" to your workpiece. This is why it produces a shiny, mirror-like finish that carbide simply cannot match. **Tungaloy Japan** - Engineering the Perfect Surface.

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.
