Precision-Grade TCMT16T304 UE Carbide Turning Insert for Superior Steel Machining
Ultra-fine UE carbide substrate ensures extreme hardness (92+ HRA) and wear resistance for prolonged tool life in heavy-duty turning. Negative rake geometry with polished T-land edge prep reduces cutting forces by 30% while preventing edge chipping in interrupted cuts. Optimized chipbreaker design creates tight C-shaped chips in steel turning (ISO P group) at 150-350m/min speeds for safer automated production. Mirror-finished rake face (Ra<0.2μm) minimizes built-up edge when machining stainless steels (304/316) and alloy steels (4140/4340). Perfect for high-precision internal turning on CNC lathes where space constraints demand compact TCMT16T308 size (9.525mm IC). Full TiAlN PVD coating (3μm) withstands 800°C for dry/hard machining in automotive shaft and hydraulic component manufacturing. Compatible with all major tool holder systems (ISO standard) for seamless integration into existing production lines. Direct-from-factory pricing enables bulk purchases for machine shops needing 1000+ inserts monthly without middleman markups.
