I-Silicon's 300% Surge Iphonsa Enye Intengo Eshaqisayo Emhlabeni

Insimbi eyenziwe ngento yesibili etholakala ngobuningi emhlabeni isiyivelakancane, isongela yonke into kusukela ezingxenyeni zezimoto kuya kuma-computer chips futhi iphonsa esinye isithiyo emnothweni womhlaba.

Ukushoda kwensimbi ye-silicon, okubangelwe ukuncishiswa kokukhiqizwa eChina, kuthumele amanani entengo ekhuphuke ngo-300% esikhathini esingaphansi kwezinyanga ezimbili.Okwakamuva ochungechungeni lweziphazamiso, kusukela emaketangeni okunikezela ngezinto kuya ekuncipheni kukagesi, okudala ingxube elimazayo ezinkampanini nakubathengi.

Isimo esibhedayo siphoqe ezinye izinkampani ukuthi zimemezele amandla amakhulu.NgoLwesihlanu, inkampani yamakhemikhali yaseNorway i-Elkem ASA ithe yona kanye nezinye izinkampani eziningi ezenza imikhiqizo esekelwe ku-silicone zikumise ukuthengisa okuthile ngenxa yokushoda.

Udaba lwe-silicon luphinde luthwebule ukuthi inkinga yamandla emhlabeni wonke ikhula kanjani emnothweni ngezindlela eziningi.Ukwehliswa komkhiqizo e-China, kude nakude engumkhiqizi omkhulu we-silicon emhlabeni, kuwumphumela wemizamo yokunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwamandla.

Ezimbonini eziningi, akunakwenzeka ukugwema ukuwa.

I-silicon, eyakha u-28% woqweqwe lomhlaba ngesisindo, ingenye yezakhiwo ezihluke kakhulu zesintu.Isetshenziswa kukho konke kusuka kuma-computer chips nokhonkolo, kuya ezingilazini nasezintweni zemoto.Ingahlanzwa ibe yi-ultra-conductive material esiza ukuguqula ukukhanya kwelanga kube ugesi kumaphaneli elanga.Futhi yimpahla eluhlaza ye-silicone - isakhi esikwazi ukumelana namanzi nokushisa esisetshenziswa kakhulu ekufakweni kwezokwelapha, i-caulk, amadeodorants, ama-oven mitts nokunye.

Naphezu kobuningi bayo bemvelo ngezinhlobo ezingahluziwe njengesihlabathi nobumba, kuye kwaba nezixwayiso eminyakeni yamuva nje ukuthi ukwanda kwesidingo sezimboni kubeka engcupheni yokudala ukushoda okungenakwenzeka kwezinto zokusetshenziswa njengetshe.Manje, njengoba i-China ivimbela ukukhiqizwa kwensimbi ye-silicon ehlanzekile kakhulu, ubuthakathaka obungenakwenzeka be-silicon supply chain ivezwa ngezinga elishaqisayo.

Imiphumela yokushayisana nayo iyethusa ikakhulukazi abenzi bezimoto, lapho i-silicon ihlanganiswa ne-aluminium ukuze yenze amabhulokhi enjini nezinye izingxenye.Kanye ne-silicon, baphinde babhekene nokwanda kwe-magnesium, esinye isithako se-alloying esibhekane nezinkinga zokukhiqiza ngesikhathi sokuncipha kwamandla eChina.

I-silicon metal yenziwa ngokufudumeza isihlabathi esivamile kanye ne-coke esithandweni.Engxenyeni enkulu yaleli khulu leminyaka, intengo yakho iye yaba phakathi kwama-yuan angu-8 000 no-17 000 ($1 200- R2 600 ) ngethani.Abakhiqizi esifundazweni sase-Yunnan babe sebeyalelwa ukuthi banciphise ukukhiqizwa ngo-90% ngaphansi kwamazinga ka-Agasti kusukela ngoSepthemba kuya kuDisemba phakathi kwemikhawulo kagesi.Izintengo selokhu zakhuphuka zafika ku-67,300 yuan.

I-Yunnan ingumkhiqizi wesibili ngobukhulu e-China, ibalwa ngaphezu kuka-20% womkhiqizo.ISichuan, nayo ebhekene nezinqamuleli zikagesi, isendaweni yesithathu cishe ngo-13%.Umdidiyeli ophezulu, u-Xinjiang, akakabi nezinkinga ezinkulu zamandla kuze kube manje.

Kanye nezintengo eziphakeme zikawoyela, nezinsimbi ezifana ne-aluminium nethusi, ukushoda kwe-silicon kunikeza ukuminyanisa osekubanjwe kuwo wonke amaketanga, kusukela kubakhiqizi nabathumeli kuya kumafemu amaloli nabathengisi.Abazikhethele ukuthi bayakuncela bese bethatha i-margin hit, noma badlulisele izindleko kumakhasimende.

Kunoma ikuphi, umthelela olimazayo we-inflation kanye nokukhula uphakamise ukukhathazeka mayelana namandla e-stagflation abambe umhlaba wonke.

Ukushoda Okuhlala Njalo

I-silicon nayo idlala indima ebalulekile kuma-alloys e-aluminium, isebenza njenge-ejenti ethambisayo.Yenza insimbi ingabi nabugovu lapho abakhiqizi beyibumba ibe yimikhiqizo ehlukene edingekayo kukho konke kusuka ezimotweni kuya ezintweni zikagesi.

Izintengo kulindeleke ukuthi zihlale ziphakeme kumaleveli amanje ehlobo elizayo, kuze kufike ukukhiqizwa okwengeziwe ku-inthanethi engxenyeni yesibili yonyaka.Isidingo siyakhula sisuka emikhakheni efana namandla elanga nemishini kagesi.Ngisho noma bezingekho izindlela zokunqanda ukusetshenziswa kwamandla, bekuzoba khona ukushoda kwe-silicon yezimboni.
