Utshintsho lwamandla luqhuba ukukhula kwemfuno yealuminium, kwaye iAlcoa inethemba malunga namathemba emarike yealuminium.

Kwingxelo yoluntu yakutshanje, uWilliam F. Oplinger, i-CEO ye-Alcoa, ubonise ithemba elilindelekileyo kuphuhliso lwexesha elizayo.imarike aluminiyam. Wabonisa ukuba ngokukhawuleza kwenguqu yamandla ehlabathi, imfuno ye-aluminium njengento ebalulekileyo yensimbi iqhubeka ikhula, ngakumbi kumxholo wokunqongophala kokunikezelwa kobhedu. Njengendawo yobhedu, i-aluminiyam ibonise amandla amakhulu kwezinye iimeko zesicelo.

U-Oplinger ugxininise ukuba inkampani inethemba elikhulu malunga nekamva lophuhliso lwemakethi ye-aluminium. Ukholelwa ukuba utshintsho lwamandla luyinto ephambili eqhuba ukukhula kwemfuno ye-aluminium. Ngokukhula kotyalo-mali lwehlabathi kumandla ahlaziyekayo kunye nobuchwepheshe bekhabhoni ephantsi,aluminiyam, njengentsimbi ekhaphukhaphu, enganyangekiyo, kunye ne-conductive kakhulu, ibonise amathuba okusebenza okubanzi kwiinkalo ezahlukeneyo ezifana namandla, ukwakhiwa kunye nokuthutha. Ngokukodwa kwishishini lamandla, ukusetyenziswa kwe-aluminium kwimigca yokuhambisa kunye ne-transformers ihlala isanda, iqhubela phambili ukukhula kwemfuno ye-aluminium.

U-Oplinger uphinde wakhankanya ukuba imeko iyonke iqhuba imfuno ye-aluminium ukuba ikhule ngesantya se-3%, i-4%, okanye i-5% ngonyaka. Eli zinga lokukhula libonisa ukuba imakethi ye-aluminium iya kugcina ukukhula okuqinileyo kwiminyaka ezayo. Wabonisa ukuba oku kukhula akuqhutywa nje kuphela kukutshintshwa kwamandla, kodwa kunye nolunye utshintsho lokubonelela kwishishini le-aluminium. Olu tshintsho, kubandakanywa ukuqhubela phambili kwezobuchwepheshe, ukuphuculwa kokusebenza kwemveliso, kunye nokuphuhliswa kwezixhobo ezintsha ze-aluminium ore, ziya kunika inkxaso eqinile kuphuhliso lwexesha elizayo lwemarike ye-aluminium.

 
Ku-Alcoa, le ndlela ngokungathandabuzekiyo izisa amathuba amakhulu oshishino. Njengomnye wabavelisi be-aluminium abahamba phambili kwihlabathi, i-Alcoa iya kukwazi ukusebenzisa ngokupheleleyo iingenelo zayo kwikhonkco loshishino lwe-aluminium ukuhlangabezana nemfuno yemarike yeemveliso ze-aluminiyam ezikumgangatho ophezulu. Ngelo xesha, inkampani iya kuqhubeka nokwandisa uphando kunye nophuhliso lotyalo-mali, ukukhuthaza ukutsha kwezobuchwepheshe kunye nokuphuculwa kwemveliso, ukwenzela ukulungelelanisa ngcono utshintsho lweemarike kunye neemfuno zabathengi.
