Ubhedu sesinye sesinyithi sokuqala esafunyanwa ngumntu, kwaye yenye yeentsimbi ezisulungekileyo ezingcono.Inezi mpawu zilandelayo: nzima kancinci, yomelele kakhulu, ayigugi, i-ductility elungileyo, i-thermal kunye ne-conductivity yombane, kwangaxeshanye, i-alloy yobhedu inokumelana ne-corrosion, izinzile emoyeni owomileyo, yomelele kwaye inokuvuselelwa.Ke ngoko, iipropathi ezigqwesileyo ezibanzi zobhedu kunye nezixhobo zokusetyenzwa kwealloyi yobhedu ziye zavavanywa ngokubanzi kwimimandla yombane, ukwenziwa koomatshini, unxibelelwano, iimoto, izixhobo kunye namashishini omkhosi.
