It features a 35-degree diamond shape (V) with a neutral hand orientation and a positive 13-degree rake angle. The insert is PVD-coated with a dual-layer TiAlN and AlCrN system under SUMITOMO proprietary Super ZX designation, delivering thermal resistance and edge durability at elevated cutting speeds. The ESU chip breaker geometry controls chip flow during finishing and semi-finishing passes. Qualified machinists and CNC tooling technicians select this insert for demanding cutting applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis insert is suited for turning stainless steel and superalloy workpiece materials, corresponding to ISO material codes M and S. The positive rake geometry and Super ZX PVD coating make it effective in applications where heat generation and work-hardening are primary concerns, such as austenitic stainless and nickel-base alloy components. It fits standard VN-series insert pockets using clamp and pin holding methods. The ESU chip breaker is optimized for light-to-moderate depths of cut in finishing-range operations on these difficult-to-machine materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide substrate with dual-layer TiAlN and AlCrN PVD coating (Super ZX designation)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVNGG geometry: 35-degree diamond shape, neutral hand, positive 13-degree rake angle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eESU chip breaker designed for stainless steel and superalloy chip control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch inscribed circle with 1\/64 inch corner radius for finishing precision\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with clamp and pin insert holding methods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets ANSI and ISO 13399 standards; ISO code VNGG160404N-SU\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in VN-series insert pockets accepting VNGG-style inserts with clamp and pin holding.

Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the turret is indexed to a safe position before seating or removing any insert. Verify the insert pocket and seating surface are clean and free of chips before clamping. Follow the toolholder manufacturer torque guidance for clamp screws to avoid insert fracture or pocket damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eANSI Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: VNGG331ESU\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISO Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: VNGG160404N-SU\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Diamond (V), 35 degrees included angle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: AC520U\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiAlN and AlCrN (PVD, Super ZX)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChip Breaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: ESU\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Neutral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRake\u003c\/strong\u003e: Positive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRake Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 13 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelief Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClearance Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: N\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTolerance Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInscribed Circle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch (0.375 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6535 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inch (0.1875 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/64 inch (0.0156 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.150 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Holding Method\u003c\/strong\u003e: Clamp and Pin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSecondary Workpiece Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel, Superalloy (ISO M, S)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI, ISO 13399\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: VN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SUMITOMO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10HWAEZ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SUMITOMO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51731466322226,"sku":"10HWAEZ","price":291.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/00c71ba507bba676e669507c3e223d1d.jpg?v=1788731446","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/sumitomo-10hwaez-turning-insert-vngg331esu-ac520u-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
