Product Overview
The TNMX160408WF CA515 TAB06601 is a premium CVD-coated carbide turning insert manufactured by Kyocera for demanding steel machining applications. This wiper finishing insert combines an advanced TiCN+Al₂O₃+TiN multi-layer coating with a deformation-resistant carbide substrate to deliver exceptional wear resistance, thermal stability, and extended tool life. Engineered for finishing / wiper, the WF chipbreaker geometry ensures superior chip control and surface finish quality across a wide range of cutting parameters. Whether you are performing continuous finishing or light interrupted cutting, this insert provides the reliability and precision required for high-volume production environments in automotive, aerospace, and general manufacturing sectors.

Grade Details – Key Grade Characteristics
The CA515 grade belongs to Kyocera's advanced CA5 series CVD-coated carbide family:
- Advanced CVD Coating: Multi-layer architecture (TiCN base + α-Al₂O₃ intermediate + TiN top) provides 40% improved interface adhesion and controlled crystal growth for superior wear and fracture resistance.
- High-Temperature Substrate: Special carbide substrate with 10% improved hardness at elevated temperatures resists thermal deformation during high-speed machining.
- Optimized for Steel: ISO P15–P35 classification covers carbon steels, alloy steels, and cast steels with consistent performance from finishing to medium-roughing.
- Gold Color Identification: TiN top layer provides easy visual grade recognition and low friction coefficient at the chip-tool interface.
- Balanced Toughness & Wear Resistance: Ideal for continuous to light interrupted cuts where both flank wear resistance and edge chipping prevention are critical.
Grade Comparison Matrix
Select the optimal CA5-series grade for your specific steel machining requirements:
| Grade | Coating | Application | Machining Type | Color |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CA510 | TiCN+Al₂O₃+TiN | High-speed finishing | Continuous, light interrupted | Gold |
| CA515 | TiCN+Al₂O₃+TiN | General steel machining | Continuous to light interrupted | Gold |
| CA525 | TiCN+Al₂O₃+TiN | General use, wider range | Medium interrupted | Gold |
| CA530 | TiCN+Al₂O₃+TiN | Heavy interrupted | Heavy roughing, high feed | Gold |
Chipbreaker Profile
The WF wiper chipbreaker features a specially designed wiper edge geometry that improves surface roughness during high-feed finishing. The extended wiper flat (1.2–1.6× corner radius) burnishes the machined surface, producing mirror-like finishes at feed rates up to 2× conventional values. Excellent for productivity-focused finishing operations.
| Feature | Specification |
|---|---|
| Wiper Flat Length | 1.2–1.6× RE (corner radius) |
| Rake Angle | Positive 5°–8° |
| Groove Depth | Shallow (0.08–0.12 mm) |
| Surface Finish Capability | Ra 0.2–0.8 µm at high feed |
Recommended Applications & Workpiece Materials
- Primary Materials: Carbon steel, alloy steel, mild steel, bearing steel
- Hardness Range: 125–300 HB (optimal 150–250 HB)

Operating Guidelines
- Coolant Recommendation: Flood coolant recommended for optimal chip evacuation and thermal management. High-pressure coolant enhances tool life in deep cavity machining.
- Edge Preparation: Do not re-sharpen or re-coat. Use inserts until all 6 edges are consumed for maximum economy.
- Storage: Keep inserts in original packaging until use. Store in a dry environment below 30°C and 60% relative humidity.
- Handling: Handle with clean gloves to prevent edge chipping from skin oils or contaminants. Avoid dropping inserts.
- Machine Rigidity: Ensure toolholder and machine spindle rigidity. Minimize overhang to reduce vibration, especially for finishing operations.
- Entry Strategy: Use ramp or helical entry for facing operations. Avoid direct plunging into solid material.
