O le fa'amae'aina o luga ole la'asaga lautele ole faiga tau alamanuia e suia ai le pito i luga ole mea gaosi e maua ai se mea totino. [1] Fa'auma e mafai ona fa'aaogaina e: fa'aleleia foliga, pipi'i po'o susu, solderability, corrosion resistance, tanish resistance, chemical resistance, wear resistance, ma'a'a, fesuia'i le eletise conductivity, aveese burrs ma isi mea sese, ma pulea le fe'avea'i luga.
