Ukuthutha
I-Aluminium isetshenziswa kwezokuhamba ngenxa yamandla ayo angavikelekile okuvunyelwa kwesisindo. Isisindo saso esilula sisho ukuthi amandla amancane adingekayo ukuhambisa imoto, okuholela ekusebenzeni kahle kwamafutha. Yize i-aluminium akuyona insimbi eqine kunazo zonke, iyayifaka nezinye izinsimbi isiza ukwandisa amandla ayo. Ukumelana kwayo kokugqwala kuyibhonasi eyengeziwe, ukuqeda isidingo sezimbali ezinamandla nezibizayo zokulwa nokugqwala.
Ngenkathi imboni ye-auto isethembele kakhulu ngensimbi, idrayivu yokwandisa ukusebenza kahle kaphethiloli futhi inciphise ukuphuma kwe-CO2 kuholele ekusetshenzisweni kakhulu kwe-aluminium. Ochwepheshe babikezela ukuthi okuqukethwe okujwayelekile kwe-aluminium emotweni kuzokwanda ngo-60% ngonyaka ka-2025.
Amasistimu wesitimela esiphezulu afana ne-'Crh 'kanye ne-maglev eShanghai nabo basebenzisa i-aluminium. I-Metal ivumela abaklami ukuthi banciphise isisindo sezitimela, besika phansi ekuphikiseni ukumelana.
I-Aluminium yaziwa nangokuthi 'insimbi enamaphiko' ngoba ilungele indiza; Futhi, ngenxa yokukhanya, okuqinile futhi okuguquguqukayo. Eqinisweni, i-aluminium yasetshenziswa kumafreyimu weZeppelin Airship ngaphambi kokuba ama-airplanes asungulwe. Namuhla, izindiza zanamuhla zisebenzisa ama-aluminium alloys kulo lonke, kusukela ku-fuselage kuya kwinsimbi ye-cockpit. Ngisho ne-spacecraft, efana nokuvalwa kwesikhala, aqukethe ama-50% kuya ku-90% ama-aluminium alloys ezingxenyeni zawo.
