Ingersoll Cutting Tools 5523097 Turning Insert CNGG432ML

Product Description

The INGERSOLL CUTTING TOOLS 5523097 is a solid carbide turning insert in the CNGG series, grade TT5080, with an ANSI insert code of CNGG432ML. It features a PVD-applied AlTiN and TiN dual coating engineered for high wear resistance and toughness. The insert has an 80-degree diamond (rhombic) shape, a neutral hand orientation, and a 1/32 inch corner radius. With 4 cutting edges and a negative rake and side clearance geometry, it is designed for roughing and medium machining operations. Licensed machinists and CNC turning specialists install this insert in toolholders configured for CNGG-style clamping systems.

This insert is suited for turning stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium - ISO material groups M and S. Its ML chip breaker geometry supports both roughing and medium machining passes on difficult-to-machine materials that demand a balance of wear resistance and edge toughness. The inscribed circle measures 0.5 inches, insert thickness is 0.187 inches, and the maximum depth of cut reaches 0.138 inches. It is sized to the ANSI 432 and ISO 120408 standards, making it a direct fit for compatible negative-geometry CNGG toolholders used in production and job-shop CNC turning environments.

Key Features

• Solid carbide substrate with PVD AlTiN and TiN coating for high wear resistance on stainless steel and superalloys
• 80-degree diamond (rhombic) insert shape with ML chip breaker for roughing and medium machining
• 4 cutting edges per insert with neutral hand orientation
• Negative rake and negative side clearance (clearance code N, tolerance code G)
• Corner radius of 0.0312 inches for controlled surface finish on tough alloys
• PVD coating process preserves sharp edge geometry for improved performance on titanium and superalloys

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNGG-style negative-geometry toolholders conforming to ANSI size code 432 and ISO size code 120408. Primary workpiece materials are stainless steel (ISO group M), superalloys, and titanium (ISO group S). ISO insert code is CNGG120408ML TT5080.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the machine before seating or removing inserts. Use the appropriate clamp and torx key specified for the toolholder to secure the insert; do not overtighten or substitute fasteners. Inspect the insert seat and chip pocket for damage or debris before each insert change to maintain accurate positioning and prevent premature edge failure.
