Seco 02844609 Turning Insert TGH1050 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 02844609 is a solid carbide multi-directional turning insert in the LCMF series, designed for precision grooving and turning operations in demanding machining environments. Manufactured to the TGH1050 grade with a PVD-applied TiAlN/TiSiN coating, this insert delivers the heat and wear resistance required when cutting superalloys and titanium. It features a 4.00 mm maximum cutting width, a 0.1772-inch cutting height, and a 0.40 mm corner radius. The double-ended neutral-hand geometry maximizes insert utilization. Machinists and CNC operators working in aerospace, defense, and high-performance manufacturing applications install this insert in compatible LCMF-style toolholders.

This insert is engineered for primary use on superalloy and titanium workpiece materials, corresponding to ISO material group codes H and S. It is suited to both roughing and semi-finishing passes where edge integrity and coating durability are critical. The FT chipbreaker geometry supports controlled chip evacuation at the cutting widths and depths typical of grooving and part-off operations. The double-end configuration allows the insert to be indexed, extending service life per unit. Minimum order quantity is 10 inserts; package quantity is 1.

Key Features

• TGH1050 grade with PVD TiAlN/TiSiN coating for superalloy and titanium cutting
• 4.00 mm maximum cutting width with 0.40 mm corner radius for precise grooving geometry
• Double-ended neutral-hand insert for maximum indexing value
• FT chipbreaker promotes effective chip control in difficult-to-machine materials
• Solid carbide substrate with C1 material grade for rigidity and thermal stability
• Clamp-style insert holding method compatible with LCMF-series toolholders

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-specification replacement insert for LCMF-series toolholding systems using insert size code 160404 and insert seat size 4.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the turret is locked before seating or indexing the insert. Verify the clamp and seat are clean and free of chips before torquing the clamping screw to the toolholder manufacturer's specification. Do not exceed the recommended depth of cut or feed rate published by SECO for the TGH1050 grade in the target workpiece material.
