öljyformi

Öljyformi, often translated as oil mold or oil forming, is a technique used in metalworking. It involves shaping metal using a mold that is filled with a liquid, typically oil. The metal, often heated to a malleable state, is then forced into the mold under pressure. This pressure can be applied through various means, such as hydraulic presses or other mechanical systems. The liquid oil serves to transmit the pressure evenly to all parts of the metal, allowing it to conform to the intricate details of the mold.

The primary advantage of oil forming is its ability to create complex shapes and precise forms in metal parts. It is particularly useful for producing hollow or thin-walled components where traditional forging or stamping methods might be less effective or prone to defects. The oil also acts as a lubricant, reducing friction between the metal and the mold, which can help to extend the lifespan of the tooling and improve the surface finish of the final product. This method is employed in various industries, including automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing, for creating a wide range of metal components.
