UKUZUZA
I-Aluminium isetshenziswa emikhunjini, ezindlini ezingaphansi, nasezimbozweni zokuchanyuselwa kwemikhumbi yezentengiselwano, nasezintweni zemishini, njengezitebhisi, izinsimbi, izinsimbi, amafasitela nezicabha. Okugqugquzela kakhulu ukusebenzisa i-aluminium ukonga isisindo uma kuqhathaniswa nensimbi.
Izinzuzo eziyinhloko zokonga isisindo ezinhlotsheni eziningi zemikhumbi yasolwandle ukukhulisa umthwalo okhokhelwayo, ukwandisa umthamo wezinto zokusebenza, nokunciphisa amandla adingekayo. Ngezinye izinhlobo zemikhumbi, inzuzo enkulu iwukuvumela ukusatshalaliswa okungcono kwesisindo, ukuthuthukisa ukuzinza kanye nokwenza lula ukuklama kwemikhumbi okuphumelelayo.
Ama-alloys ochungechunge lwe-5xxx asetshenziselwa iningi lezinhlelo zokusebenza zasolwandle ezithengisa anamandla okushisela angu-100 kuya ku-200 MPa. Lawa ma-alloys e-aluminium-magnesium agcina i-weld ductility enhle ngaphandle kokwelashwa kokushisa kwe-post weld, futhi angenziwa ngamasu ajwayelekile kanye nemishini yendawo yomkhumbi. Ama-alloys e-aluminium-magnesium-zinc ashiselayo nawo athola ukunakwa kulo mkhakha. Ukumelana nokugqwala kwama-alloys ochungechunge lwe-5xxx kungenye into eyinhloko ekukhethweni kwe-aluminiyamu yokusetshenziswa olwandle. Ama-alloys ochungechunge lwe-6xxx, asetshenziselwa kakhulu izikebhe zokuzijabulisa, abonisa ukwehla ngo-5 kuya ku-7% ekuhlolweni okufanayo.
