Kyocera TPMR160304GP CA5525 – Turning Insert (Positive Type, Steel Machining, GP Chipbreaker, Pack of 10)
The Kyocera TPMR160304GP CA5525 is a positive-type triangular turning insert designed for steel machining. Supplied in a pack of 10 inserts, it features Kyocera’s advanced CA5525 CVD-coated carbide grade, delivering exceptional wear resistance, fracture toughness, and stable performance under both continuous and interrupted cutting conditions. The advanced multi-layer coating combines a highly uniform alumina layer, TiCN layer, and a proprietary carbide substrate to maximize tool life while improving resistance to crater wear and flank wear. The GP chipbreaker is optimized for general-purpose finishing to medium turning, providing reliable chip control, low cutting forces, and excellent surface finishes.
Key Features & Benefits
- CA5525 Grade: Premium CVD-coated carbide grade recommended for steel machining, offering an excellent balance of wear resistance and toughness.
