Tungaloy TNMG160408-TS NS9530 Cermet Insert

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

What is the best cermet insert for high-gloss steel finishing?

The Tungaloy TNMG160408-TS NS9530 is a high-technology cermet turning insert specifically engineered for the ultimate precision finishing of steel. Utilizing the world-class NS9530 Cermet grade, this insert provides superior chemical stability and resistance to built-up edge (BUE). The -TS (Turning Standard) chipbreaker is specialized for light-cutting applications, delivering tight chip control and a glossy, mirror-like surface finish. 100% Made in Japan, it is the industrial standard for automotive and aerospace components requiring strict dimensional tolerances.

NS9530 Uncoated Cermet

A composite of ceramic and metallic materials that offers high hardness and low affinity to steel. It maintains a sharp cutting edge longer than carbide for precision finishing.

TS Finishing Geometry

The -TS chipbreaker features a sharp rake angle to reduce cutting resistance, preventing vibration and ensuring high surface integrity on carbon and alloy steels.

0.8mm Radius Strength

The 0.8mm corner radius provides enhanced edge strength compared to smaller radii, allowing for stable finishing even at higher feed rates in production environments.

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

Technical Feature Metric (ISO) Imperial (ANSI)
Standard Model TNMG160408-TS TNMG 332-TS
Inscribed Circle (IC) 9.525 mm 3/8"
Thickness (S) 4.76 mm 3/16"
Corner Radius (RE) 0.8 mm 1/32"

Recommended Finishing Parameters

  • Cutting Speed (Vc): 150 - 380 m/min (Recommended >250 for gloss)
  • Feed Rate (f): 0.10 - 0.35 mm/rev
  • Depth of Cut (ap): 0.2 - 2.5 mm

*Optimization Tip: Cermets thrive at high speeds. If you experience build-up, increase the cutting speed to take advantage of the NS9530 chemical stability.*

4. Primary Applications

  • Mirror-finish turning of carbon and alloy steels.
  • Finishing of automotive transmission parts.
  • Precision machining for mold and die steel components.
  • Stable cutting for bearing race surfaces.

5. Tool Compatibility

Fits all standard ISO TNMG 1604 holders. Pairs optimally with MTJNR/L, WTJNR/L, or DTGNR/L series. Compatible with Haas, Citizen, Mazak, and Doosan CNC lathes.

Global Industry Feedback

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Spectacular Finish" - Hiroshi M., Japan
"The NS9530 cermet provides a finish so bright we were able to skip the final grinding process on our shafts."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Great Chip Control" - Thomas B., Germany
"For light finishing of 1045 steel, the TS breaker is perfect. Chips break clean every time. Fast shipping from Beyond."

⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Reliable Dimensions" - Sanjay P., India
"Very stable grade. We maintain +/- 0.005mm tolerances over long runs without built-up edge issues."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Top Quality Source" - Robert L., USA
"Authentic Tungaloy Japan inserts. The cermet edge stays sharp much longer than carbide in these finishing passes."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Cost-Efficient" - Elena S., Italy
"6 usable edges with this level of surface quality is a massive win for our shop's production costs."

8. FAQ - Professional Support

Q: Can I use cermet for interrupted cuts?

A: Cermet is generally more brittle than carbide. It is highly recommended for continuous finishing. For heavy interruptions, consider a toughened PVD carbide grade.

Q: Does cermet require coolant?

A: Cermet can be used dry or with air-blow to avoid thermal shock. If using liquid coolant, ensure it is high-pressure and consistent to prevent micro-cracking.

Q: What is the benefit of the 0.8mm radius over 0.4mm?

A: The 0.8mm radius allows for higher feed rates while maintaining a smooth finish, and provides better edge stability against wear.

Tech Tip: Achieving the Perfect Glow

The **NS9530 Cermet grade** excels because it does not have a chemical affinity for steel. This means the material will not "weld" to the cutting edge, resulting in the high-gloss, mirror-like finish that carbide inserts cannot produce. **Tungaloy Japan** - Engineering Excellence.

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.
