metallitükk

Metallitükk is a Finnish term that translates to "metal shavings" or "metal filings." It refers to small particles of metal produced by the mechanical process of machining, such as milling, turning, or drilling. These particles are typically generated when a cutting tool removes material from a workpiece, resulting in tiny fragments of the metal being cut.

Metallitükk is a byproduct of metalworking processes and can be found in various industries, including manufacturing, construction, and automotive. It is often collected and recycled due to its metal content, which can be reused in new products or processes. The recycling of metallitükk helps reduce waste and conserve natural resources.

The size and shape of metallitükk can vary depending on the type of metal being worked and the specific machining operation. In some cases, metallitükk may contain cutting fluids or other contaminants, which can affect its recycling potential. Therefore, proper handling and processing are essential to ensure the effective reuse of metallitükk.

In Finland, the management and recycling of metallitükk are regulated by environmental laws and guidelines, which aim to minimize the environmental impact of metalworking operations. Compliance with these regulations is crucial for metalworking companies to maintain their operational licenses and adhere to environmental standards.
