Felhasítás

Felhasítás is a Hungarian term that translates to "splitting" or "cleaving" in English. It refers to the act of dividing something into parts, often along a natural line or weakness. This can be applied in various contexts, from woodworking to materials science.

In woodworking, felhasítás describes the process of splitting logs or timber along the grain to create smaller pieces or boards. This method is often preferred over sawing for certain types of wood, as it can result in less material waste and a stronger, more stable product due to the inherent alignment of the wood fibers. The direction and force applied during felhasítás are crucial to achieve the desired outcome and avoid damage to the wood.

The term can also be used more broadly to describe the fracture or separation of materials. For instance, in geology, it might refer to the splitting of rocks along existing fissures. In a more abstract sense, felhasítás can denote a division or fragmentation of a concept, idea, or group. The underlying principle remains the separation of a whole into constituent parts.
