Ngomhlaka-20 kuNtulikazi 2026, i-International Aluminium Institute (IAI) yakhipha izibalo ezibonisa ukuthiukukhiqizwa kwe-aluminium okuyinhloko emhlabeni jikeleleKwehle ngo-1.5% unyaka nonyaka ngoJuni 2026, kwafinyelela amathani ayizigidi ezingu-5.98. Isilinganiso somkhiqizo wansuku zonke sasingamathani angu-199,300. Phakathi kwalesi sisamba, umkhiqizo waseShayina wawulinganiselwa kumathani ayizigidi ezingu-3.712. Ngaphandle kweShayina nezifunda ezingabikwanga, wonke umhlaba ukhiqize amathani ayizigidi ezingu-2.062, ngesilinganiso sansuku zonke samathani angu-68,700. Lezi zinombolo zidweba isithombe esicacile: ukuhlinzekwa okuphezulu kwensimbi eyinhloko kuyaqina emhlabeni jikelele, futhi lokho kuguquguquka kuzongena ngqo ezimakethe zemikhiqizo eyenziwe nge-aluminium eqediwe.

Kwabachwepheshe bokuthenga kanye nabakhiqizi, ukuncipha komkhiqizo we-smelter yomhlaba wonke akuyona nje into esemqoka. Kubonisa ukwelulwa okungenzeka kwezikhathi zokuhola, ukuncipha kokutholakala kwe-ingot ejwayelekile, kanye nengcindezi evuselelwe emaphethelweni okuguqulwa. Lapho ukuhlinzekwa kwensimbi okuyinhloko kuncipha, ikhono lokuthola ishidi le-aluminium elisezingeni eliphezulu, ipuleti, ibha, ishubhu, kanye nezingxenye ezicijile zomshini kuba yinto ehlukanisayo yokuncintisana. Enkampanini yethu, lokho kuhlukanisa kwakhelwe ngaphakathi. Sigcina ubudlelwano be-feedstock obuhlelekile nabancibilikisi abakhulu futhi sigcina uhlu olujulile lwama-billets e-extrusion, ama-rolling slabs, kanye nemigodi yamashubhu adonswe phansi, sivikela amakhasimende ethu ekususweni kwesikhathi esifushane okuvame ukulandela idatha enjalo yokuhlinzekwa komhlaba wonke.

Uhla lwemikhiqizo yethu luguqula insimbi eyinhloko ibe izixazululo eziklanywe ngobunjiniyela. Amapuleti ethu e-aluminium namashidi atholakala kuma-alloy ezindiza angu-5000 e-marine grade, 6000 structure, kanye namandla aphezulu angu-7000 asongwa abe ama-gauge anembile kuma-reverser mill asezingeni eliphezulu ashisayo nabandayo. Ukuthamba, ukucwengisiswa kokusanhlamvu, kanye nekhwalithi yobuso kulawulwa ukuze kuhlangatshezwane ne-ASTM B209, EN 485, kanye nemininingwane ethile yamakhasimende. Kuma-workshop e-CNC kanye nezikhungo zomshini, sihlinzekaimigoqo ye-aluminium kanye nezinduku ngaphakathikokubili izimo zokushisa eziqediwe ezikhishwe kanye nezibandayo, kusukela ku-2011-T3 ekhululekile yokusika izingxenye eziphendulwe ngesivinini esikhulu kuya ku-7075-T7351 ekhululiwe ekucindezelekeni kwezingxenye ze-airframe zesakhiwo. Iphothifoliyo yethu yeshubhu ye-aluminium ihlanganisa ishubhu ye-6061-T6 edonswe kahle enokugxilisa odongeni okuqinile kwezinhlelo ze-hydraulic kanye ne-pneumatic, kanye neshubhu ye-6063-T6 ehlanganisiwe yezinhlelo zokwakha nezokushintshanisa ukushisa. Ngaphandle kwemikhiqizo yomshini wokugaya, izinsizakalo zethu zomshini we-CNC wangaphakathi, okuhlanganisa ukugaya okune-axis eminingi kanye nokujika kwamathuluzi aphilayo, kuphakamisa lezi zinhlobo ezingavuthiwe zibe izingxenye ezilungele ukuhlanganiswa, eziphelele ngokuqeda kobuso kusukela ku-anodizing ekhanyayo kuya ku-hardcoat.

IShayina isalokhu iyisifunda esikhulu kunazo zonke esikhiqizayo esilinganiselwa kumathani ayizigidi ezingu-3.712 ngoJuni, esigcina inqwaba yezinto zokwakha zasekhaya ezijulile. Kodwa idatha yomhlaba wonke ye-IAI iqinisekisa ukuthi umkhiqizo wonke awusekho eqophelweni eliphezulu; ukuphathwa kwamandla okuhlelekile kanye nemikhawulo yamandla kuyashintsha ukuphakelwa. Kulesi simo, amakhasimende abambisana nomhlinzeki okwaziyo ukuhlalisa phezulu, olawula ukuthola, ukucubungula, kanye nokulungisa ngaphansi kohlelo olulodwa lwekhwalithi, athola inzuzo ephindwe kabili yokuphepha kokuphakelwa kanye nokucaca kwezindleko. Izitifiketi zethu zokuhlola umshini (ama-MTC) zihambisana nokuthunyelwa ngakunye, futhi sinikeza ubude bokusika ngokwezifiso, ukupakisha, kanye nokupakisha okuvikelayo okwenzelwe ukuthunyelwa kwamanye amazwe.

Uma ufuna ukunciphisa ingozi yochungechunge lwakho lokuphakelwaamashidi e-aluminium, imigoqo, amashubhu,noma udinga izingxenye ezisebenza ngomshini ngokunemba, xhumana nethimba lethu namuhla. Vumela amandla omhlaba wonke okuhlinzeka asebenzele wena.
