EZOTHUTHO
I-Aluminiyam isetyenziselwa ukuthutha ngenxa yamandla ayo angenakoyiswa kumlinganiselo wobunzima.Ubunzima bayo obulula buthetha ukuba amandla amancinci afunekayo ukuhambisa isithuthi, okukhokelela ekusebenzeni kakuhle kwamafutha.Nangona i-aluminiyam ingeyiyo eyona ntsimbi inamandla, ukuyidibanisa nezinye iintsimbi kunceda ukwandisa amandla ayo.Ukumelana kwayo nokugqwala yibhonasi eyongeziweyo, ephelisa imfuno yeempahla ezinzima kunye neendleko ezichasene ne-corrosion.
Ngelixa i-auto industry ixhomekeke kakhulu kwintsimbi, i-drive yokunyusa ukusebenza kakuhle kwamafutha kunye nokunciphisa ukukhutshwa kwe-CO2 kubangele ukusetyenziswa okubanzi kwe-aluminium.Iingcali ziqikelela ukuba umgangatho we-aluminium ophakathi kwimoto uya kunyuka nge-60% ngo-2025.
Iinkqubo zikaloliwe ezihamba ngesantya esiphezulu njenge'CRH' kunye neMaglev eShanghai nazo zisebenzisa ialuminiyam.Isinyithi sivumela abaqulunqi ukuba banciphise ubunzima bezitimela, banciphise ukuxhathisa i-friction.
Ialuminiyam ikwabizwa ngokuba 'yintsimbi enamaphiko' kuba ifanelekile kwinqwelo-moya;kwakhona, ngenxa yokukhanya, amandla kunye bhetyebhetye.Enyanisweni, i-aluminium yayisetyenziswe kwiifreyimu zeenqwelo-moya ze-Zeppelin ngaphambi kokuba iinqwelomoya zenziwe.Namhlanje, iinqwelo-moya zale mihla zisebenzisa ialloyi ye-aluminiyam kuyo yonke indawo, ukusuka kwifuselage ukuya kwizixhobo ze-cockpit.Kwaneziphekepheke zasejukujukwini, ezifana neziphekepheke zasemajukujukwini, zine-50% ukuya kwi-90% yealloyi zealuminiyam kwiindawo zazo.
