Tungaloy VBMT160404-PS T9115 Insert

High-Speed Steel Finishing | CVD Coated | 16mm Profiling Power

What is the best insert grade for high-speed steel finishing?

The Tungaloy VBMT160404-PS T9115 is a premium CVD-coated carbide insert specifically optimized for finishing operations in steel (P15-P25 range). Featuring the advanced PremiumTec surface technology, the T9115 grade offers exceptional wear resistance and heat dissipation during high-speed continuous cutting. The 35-degree rhombic geometry allows for intricate profiling and copying, while the -PS (Positive Sharp) chipbreaker ensures superior chip control at shallow depths of cut. This insert is the industrial choice for machinists seeking high-efficiency production and consistent dimensional accuracy in carbon and alloy steels.

T9115 CVD Grade

A thick Al2O3 coating combined with PremiumTec technology provides incredible resistance to crater wear and heat, making it ideal for dry or high-speed machining.

-PS Finishing Breaker

The sharp rake angle minimizes cutting resistance, effectively reducing vibration and heat buildup during precision profiling and super-finishing passes.

Extended Edge Length

The 16mm edge provides additional stability and heat dissipation capacity compared to smaller variants, supporting more aggressive profiling speeds.

Feedback from Global Machinists

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Incredible Tool Life" - F. Schneider, Germany
"T9115 is my go-to for finishing alloy steel. Even at 300 m/min, the flank wear is minimal. Best finishing results I've had in years."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Perfect Profiling" - R. Miller, USA
"The -PS breaker handles fine chips beautifully. No bird-nesting on our long finishing passes. Arrived from Beyond Li in 3 days."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Great Heat Resistance" - T. Tanaka, Japan
"Working dry is no problem for this grade. The PremiumTec surface really prevents crater wear on high-speed runs."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Excellent B2B Partner" - L. Rossi, Italy
"Authentic Tungaloy stock verified. We use these for our automotive production line. Very stable performance."

8. FAQ - Engineering Support

Q: Is T9115 suitable for interrupted cuts?

A: T9115 is a hard grade optimized for continuous finishing. For heavy interrupted cuts, the T9125 grade with higher toughness is recommended.

Q: Can I use this for stainless steel?

A: T9115 is designed for steel (P). For stainless steel (M), we recommend Tungaloy's AH600 series (like AH630) for better corrosion and thermal resistance.

Q: Why use the 16mm size over 11mm?

A: The larger 1604 size offers more mass for heat dissipation and a longer support edge, making it more stable for larger workpieces or slightly deeper finish cuts.

Expert Tip: Maximizing T9115 Life

To fully utilize the **T9115 PremiumTec** coating, aim for high cutting speeds (above 200 m/min). This prevents edge buildup and utilizes the thermal barrier of the CVD coating to keep the carbide substrate cool. **Tungaloy Japan** - Precision Engineering.

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.
