Iscar 5795183 Ceramic Turning Insert Cnga 432T IN22

Product Description

The ISCAR 5795183 is an uncoated ceramic turning insert in the CNGA style, designed for high-speed material removal on cast iron and other hard workpiece materials. Part of the Isoturn series, this diamond-shaped insert features an 80-degree included angle, a 1/2-inch inscribed circle, and a 1/32-inch corner radius. At 0.1874 inches thick and 12.90 mm (0.5079 inches) in length, it is held in place by a clamp and pin method. The IN22 ceramic grade delivers the hardness and thermal resistance required for demanding turning operations where coated carbide tools fall short.

This insert is suited for turning operations on cast iron workpieces in both production and job-shop environments. The CNGA geometry and T chip breaker make it appropriate for finishing and semi-finishing passes where controlled chip formation and surface finish are priorities. It is compatible with standard CNGA-style toolholders and is sized for use in applications requiring a 1/2-inch inscribed circle insert. Machinists and CNC operators working with hard ferrous materials will find the IN22 grade effective where elevated cutting speeds are used to take advantage of ceramic tool properties.

Key Features

• Uncoated IN22 ceramic grade engineered for cast iron and hard ferrous turning
• 80-degree diamond insert shape (CNGA style) with T chip breaker for controlled chip flow
• 1/32-inch corner radius minimizes edge chipping at entry and exit
• Clamp and pin holding method provides secure seating in compatible toolholders
• Conforms to ISO 13399 standard for insert data representation
• Maximum depth of cut of 0.40 mm (0.0157 inches) supports precision finishing passes

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard CNGA-style turning toolholders that accept a 1/2-inch inscribed circle insert with a 0.2030-inch hole diameter. Primary workpiece material compatibility is cast iron, corresponding to material grade codes C3 and C4 and primary workpiece material codes H and K per ISO 13399.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and all power is off before changing inserts. Verify the toolholder pocket and seating surfaces are clean and free of chips before seating the insert. Clamp torque should follow the toolholder manufacturer specifications, as ceramic inserts are brittle and sensitive to uneven clamping forces.
