Ialuminiyam isetyenziselwa ukwenza yonke into ukusuka kwiibhayisekile ukuya kwiziphekepheke.Le ntsimbi yenza ukuba abantu bahambe ngesantya esiphezulu, bawele iilwandlekazi, babhabhe esibhakabhakeni, bade bawushiye uMhlaba.Izothutho nazo zisebenzisa i-aluminiyam eninzi, ibalwa kwi-27% yokusetyenziswa okupheleleyo.Abakhi besitokhwe esiqengqelekayo bafumana uyilo olukhaphukhaphu kunye nemveliso elungiselelweyo, befaka izicelo zeeprofayili zesakhiwo kunye nezixhobo zangaphandle okanye zangaphakathi.I-Aluminiyam carbody ivumela abavelisi ukuba bachebe kwisithathu sobunzima xa kuthelekiswa neemoto zentsimbi.Kwiinkqubo zothutho olukhawulezayo kunye neenkqubo zikaloliwe zasezidolophini apho oololiwe kufuneka bemise iindawo ezininzi zokumisa, ukonga okubalulekileyo kunokufezekiswa njengoko kufuneka amandla amancinci ukukhawulezisa kunye nokuqhokra ngeemoto zealuminiyam.Ukongeza, iimoto ze-aluminiyam kulula ukuvelisa kwaye ziqulethe iindawo ezimbalwa kakhulu.Okwangoku, i-aluminiyam kwizithuthi iphucula ukhuseleko kuba ilula kwaye yomelele.I-Aluminiyam iphelisa amajoyina ngokuvumela i-extrusions engenanto (endaweni yoyilo oluqhelekileyo lwe-shell-shell sheet), oluphucula ukuqina kunye nokhuseleko jikelele.Ngenxa yombindi wayo osezantsi womxhuzulane kunye nobunzima obusezantsi, ialuminiyam iphucula indlela yokubamba, ifunxa amandla ngexesha lengozi, kwaye iyenza ibe mfutshane imigama yokuqhokra.Kwiinkqubo zomzila kaloliwe omde i-aluminiyam isetyenziswa kakhulu kwiinkqubo zikaloliwe ezinesantya esiphezulu, ezaqala ukwaziswa ngobuninzi ngeminyaka yoo-1980.Oololiwe abahamba ngesantya esiphezulu banokufikelela kwisantya se-360 km/h nangaphezulu.Ubuchwepheshe obutsha besantya esiphezulu sikaloliwe buthembisa isantya esingaphezu kwama-600 km/h.
I-aluminium alloy yenye yezinto eziphambili ezisetyenziselwa ukwakhiwa kwemizimba yemoto, ene:+ Amacala omzimba (iindonga ezisecaleni)+ Uphahla kunye neepaneli zomgangatho+ Iireyili zeCant, ezidibanisa umgangatho kaloliwe kudonga olusecaleniOkwangoku ubungakanani obuncinci bodonga lwe-aluminium extrusion kumzimba wemoto phantse ukuya kwi-1.5mm, ububanzi obukhulu bufikelela kwi-700mm, kwaye ubude obude be-aluminium extrusion ukuya kuthi ga kwi-30mtrs.
