Työkalujäämiä

Työkalujäämiä refer to residual materials or fragments left behind after a machining or manufacturing process. These remnants can originate from various sources, including the workpiece material, the cutting tool itself, or even lubricants and coolants used during the operation. The nature and size of työkalujäämiä can vary significantly, ranging from microscopic particles to larger chips or shavings.

The presence of työkalujäämiä can impact the quality and performance of a manufactured part. Small particles, often referred to as swarf or chips, can become embedded in the surface of the workpiece, leading to surface defects, reduced dimensional accuracy, and increased friction. In some applications, these residues can also interfere with subsequent processing steps, such as coating or assembly.

Effective removal of työkalujäämiä is crucial in many industries. Cleaning processes, such as washing, rinsing, or ultrasonic cleaning, are commonly employed to ensure parts are free from contaminants. The specific cleaning method chosen depends on the type of material, the size and nature of the residues, and the required level of cleanliness for the final product. In some cases, specialized filtration systems are used to capture and remove työkalujäämiä from circulating coolants or lubricants. Understanding and managing työkalujäämiä is an important aspect of quality control and process optimization in manufacturing.
