Ingersoll Cutting Tools 5523040 Tcmt Carbide Turning Insert

Product Description

The INGERSOLL CUTTING TOOLS 5523040 is a TCMT-style triangular carbide turning insert designed for precision finishing operations on stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium. Manufactured in grade TT5080 with a PVD-applied AlTiN and TiN dual coating, this insert delivers high wear resistance with moderate toughness to handle the demands of difficult-to-machine materials. The positive rake geometry and positive side clearance reduce cutting forces and minimize workpiece deformation. With three usable cutting edges, a 0.0160-inch corner radius, and a 60-degree included angle, it is suited for turning applications where surface finish and edge stability are the priority. CNC machinists and toolroom operators working on lathes and turning centers are the primary installers.

This insert is intended for external and internal turning applications on materials classified under ISO material groups M (stainless steel) and S (superalloys, titanium). The FG chip breaker geometry is optimized for finishing passes at lighter depths of cut, with a maximum depth of cut of 0.0590 inches. It fits standard TCMT insert pockets using screw-style clamping and is suited for both production turning and job-shop environments where tight tolerances and consistent surface quality are required.

Key Features

• TCMT triangular insert style with 60-degree included angle and positive rake for reduced cutting forces
• Grade TT5080 carbide substrate with PVD AlTiN and TiN dual coating for high wear resistance
• FG chip breaker optimized for finishing operations on stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium
• Three cutting edges per insert for extended tool life per unit
• 0.0160-inch corner radius for controlled surface finish on finishing passes
• Screw-style insert holding method for secure, repeatable seating in standard TCMT toolholders

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard TCMT insert pockets with screw-style clamping. Compatible with toolholders accepting TCMT 21.51 (ANSI) or TCMT 110204 (ISO) inserts. Suitable for ISO material groups M and S: stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium workpieces.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the machine before indexing or replacing inserts. Seat the insert fully against the pocket walls and torque the clamping screw according to the toolholder manufacturer specifications. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping screw for wear or damage before installing a new insert.
