litistymisprosessi
Litistymisprosessi is a term used in Finnish-speaking contexts to describe a class of material forming operations in which a workpiece is subjected to compressive forces to reduce thickness, increase density, or shape a cross-section. The process relies on plastic deformation of the material under controlled pressure, often with the aid of heat or lubrication to manage flow and reduce wear on tooling.
The core principle is the application of compressive stress through dies, punches, rolls, or platens, driving
Variants include uniaxial pressing, which applies force in one direction; hot pressing, where elevated temperatures promote
Materials commonly treated include metals and alloys, ceramics, polymers, and composite systems. Applications span powder metallurgy
