Metallivaahdot

Metallivaahdot is a Finnish term that translates to "metal shavings" or "metal filings." It refers to small pieces of metal that are produced during machining processes such as turning, milling, drilling, or grinding. The size and shape of metallivaahdot can vary greatly depending on the type of metal being worked, the tool used, and the specific machining operation. They are often generated as waste material in metalworking industries and manufacturing.

These shavings can be sharp and pose a safety hazard if not handled properly. In industrial settings, collection and disposal or recycling of metallivaahdot are important considerations. Depending on the metal and its purity, metallivaahdot can sometimes be recycled to recover valuable materials, contributing to a more sustainable manufacturing process. The appearance of metallivaahdot can range from fine dust to long, curly strands. They are a common sight in workshops and factories where metal fabrication takes place.
