Ukuguqulwa kwamandla kukhuthaza ukukhula kwesidingo se-aluminium, futhi i-Alcoa inethemba ngamathemba emakethe ye-aluminium

Esitatimendeni sakamuva somphakathi, uWilliam F. Oplinger, oyi-CEO ye-Alcoa, uzwakalise amathemba amahle ngentuthuko yesikhathi esizayo ye-Alcoa.imakethe ye-aluminium. Uveze ukuthi ngokusheshisa kokushintshwa kwamandla emhlabeni jikelele, isidingo se-aluminium njengento ebalulekile yensimbi sikhula ngokuqhubekayo, ikakhulukazi esimweni sokushoda kwekhopha. Njengokuthatha indawo yethusi, i-aluminium ibonise amandla amakhulu kwezinye izimo zohlelo lokusebenza.

U-Oplinger ugcizelele ukuthi inkampani inethemba elikhulu mayelana nentuthuko yesikhathi esizayo yemakethe ye-aluminium. Ukholelwa ukuthi ukuguqulwa kwamandla kuyisici esibalulekile esiqhuba ukukhula kwesidingo se-aluminium. Ngokukhula kokutshalwa kwezimali emhlabeni jikelele kumandla avuselelekayo kanye nobuchwepheshe bekhabhoni ephansi,i-aluminium, njengensimbi engasindi, engagqwali, futhi esebenza kakhulu, ibonise amathuba okusebenza okubanzi emikhakheni ehlukahlukene efana namandla, ukwakhiwa, nezokuthutha. Ikakhulukazi embonini yamandla, ukusetshenziswa kwe-aluminium emigqeni yokudlulisela kanye nama-transformer akhula njalo, okuqhubekisela phambili ukukhula kwesidingo se-aluminium.

U-Oplinger uphinde waveza ukuthi inkambiso iyonke idala ukuthi isidingo se-aluminium sikhule ngesilinganiso esingu-3%, 4%, noma ngisho no-5% ngonyaka. Leli zinga lokukhula likhombisa ukuthi imakethe ye-aluminium izogcina ukukhula okuqinile eminyakeni ezayo. Uveze ukuthi lokhu kukhula akugqugquzelwa wukushintshwa kwamandla kuphela, kodwa nayizinguquko ezithile zokuhlinzekwa kwezinsiza embonini ye-aluminium. Lezi zinguquko, okuhlanganisa ukuthuthuka kwezobuchwepheshe, ukusebenza kahle kokukhiqiza okuthuthukisiwe, kanye nokuthuthukiswa kwemithombo yensimbi entsha ye-aluminium, kuzonikeza ukwesekwa okuqinile kwentuthuko yesikhathi esizayo yemakethe ye-aluminium.

 
Ku-Alcoa, lo mkhuba ngokungangabazeki uletha amathuba amakhulu ebhizinisi. Njengomunye wabakhiqizi be-aluminium abahamba phambili emhlabeni, i-Alcoa izokwazi ukusebenzisa ngokugcwele izinzuzo zayo ochungechungeni lwemboni ye-aluminium ukuze ihlangabezane nesidingo semakethe semikhiqizo ye-aluminium yekhwalithi ephezulu. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, inkampani izoqhubeka nokwandisa ucwaningo nokuthuthukiswa kokutshalwa kwezimali, ikhuthaze ukusungulwa kwezobuchwepheshe kanye nokuthuthukiswa komkhiqizo, ukuze ivumelane kangcono nezinguquko zemakethe kanye nezidingo zamakhasimende.
