Ihame ni ugusya amafi mu myanda munsi yizunguruka nigitutu cyumugozi wimyitozo na tungsten karbide isudira mugice cyo gukata igikoresho cyo gusya, kandi imyanda irashobora gutunganywa hasi ikoresheje amazi yo gucukura.
Ubwoko bwinshi bwibikoresho byo gusya birasanzwe muburyo, mugihe ukurikije imiterere itandukanye y amafi, hakenewe ibice byo gutema. Ibice bisanzwe byo gukata birashobora gutondekwa imbere, hanze ninyuma yibikoresho byo gusya.
Nyuma yo guhanga udushya no gukusanya ikoranabuhanga mumyaka yashize, bahuye nibyifuzo byabakiriya baturuka mubushinwa ndetse no mumahanga bitewe nibikorwa byizewe. Usibye ubwoko nubunini byanditse mubikurikira, twishimiye kandi kubyara umusaruro ukurikije izina ryihariye rishobora guhaza ibyo abakiriya bakeneye.
