Ohutlevyksi

Ohutlevyksi is a Finnish linguistic term formed from ohutlevy, meaning a thin sheet or sheet metal, with the translative suffix -ksi. In Finnish, translative forms describe becoming or turning into something. Therefore, ohutlevyksi denotes the act of transforming a material into a thin sheet or the state of having become a thin sheet, typically in a manufacturing or technical context.

In industrial use, ohutlevyksi is often encountered in metal fabrication and sheet metal work. It describes both the process by which a material is formed into a thin sheet and the resulting product. Common methods to achieve ohutlevyksi include rolling, drawing, stamping, or extrusion that produce a sheet with relatively small thickness. While the term is most frequently applied to metal, it can appear in broader technical discussions where a material is described as becoming a thin sheet for specific applications.

The concept of ohutlevy is central to industries such as automotive, appliance manufacturing, electronics enclosures, and construction, where thin, workable sheets are required. Characteristics of products described as ohutlevyksi typically involve considerations of formability, surface finish, and corrosion resistance, depending on the material (for example steel, aluminum, copper, or zinc).
