Frequently asked questions

Common questions about TUNGALOY from 3G Electric.

What Tungaloy insert grades are available through 3G Electric?

3G Electric stocks Tungaloy inserts in several grades, including AH725, AH140, NS740, T1115, and T9125. These grades are used across milling, parting, and grooving insert families. AH725 is a tough coating grade often applied to specialty and nonstandard milling inserts, while AH140 and NS740 are used in parallelogram milling inserts for steel and cast iron. T1115 is another coating grade for general-purpose milling. T9125 appears in parting and grooving inserts. The grade selection affects wear resistance and toughness, so buyers should match the grade to the workpiece material and machining conditions. Manufacturer part numbers and ANSI codes are listed for each SKU to help verify compatibility.

What is the difference between Tungaloy parting and grooving inserts and milling inserts?

Tungaloy parting and grooving inserts, such as the SGM3-020-6R AH725, DTA600-300 TH10, and GE50 T9125, are used on lathes and turning centers to cut off workpieces or create grooves. They are typically narrower and designed for radial or axial grooving operations. Milling inserts, such as the LNMU0303ZER-MJ AH725 or parallelogram inserts with AH140, NS740, or T1115 grades, are used in milling cutters for face milling, shoulder milling, and slotting. The geometries and grades differ to suit the cutting forces and chip evacuation of each operation. Buyers should select the insert family based on the machine tool and the feature being machined.

Can 3G Electric supply Tungaloy specialty and nonstandard indexable milling inserts?

Yes. 3G Electric lists Tungaloy specialty and nonstandard indexable milling inserts, including the LNMU0303ZER-MJ with AH725 grade. These inserts are intended for precision machining where tight tolerances and surface finish are required. The catalog includes specifications such as rake angle, shape, width, and ANSI code to help identify the correct item. For nonstandard geometries not listed, 3G Electric can source based on the Tungaloy model designation and grade. Buyers should provide the full model number and grade when requesting a quote to ensure the correct insert is supplied.

What information do I need to order Tungaloy inserts from 3G Electric?

To order Tungaloy inserts from 3G Electric, provide the manufacturer part number or the full model designation and grade. For example, SGM3-020-6R AH725 or DTA600-300 TH10. If you are replacing an insert, the ANSI code or the model number stamped on the insert or packaging is sufficient. Additional specifications such as rake angle, shape, and width can help confirm compatibility with your toolholder. 3G Electric lists 224 Tungaloy SKUs, and the product data includes MPN, grade, and dimensions where available. If you need a nonstandard item, include the drawing or detailed dimensions with your request.

Are Tungaloy parallelogram milling inserts suitable for roughing and finishing?

Tungaloy parallelogram indexable milling inserts are available in grades suited to different machining stages. For example, the AH140 grade is described for roughing and semi-finishing of steel and cast iron, while NS740 offers balanced wear resistance and toughness for general-purpose milling. T1115 is used for general-purpose milling of steel and cast iron in face milling, shoulder milling, and slotting. The positive rake geometry helps reduce cutting forces. Selection depends on the workpiece material, machine rigidity, and desired surface finish. Buyers should consult the grade recommendations for their specific application.

How does 3G Electric support global delivery of Tungaloy tooling?

3G Electric ships Tungaloy tooling globally from its distribution network. The company maintains inventory across 224 Tungaloy SKUs, including indexable milling inserts and parting and grooving inserts. Orders are processed based on the manufacturer part number and quantity required. Logistics support includes export documentation and freight coordination to destinations outside Singapore. For items not in stock, 3G Electric can source from Tungaloy's production network. Lead times vary by item and destination. Buyers should include the full model number and grade when requesting a quote to avoid delays.
