Casting - aluminium - lost-wax (casting - aluminium - lost-wax)

Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.8. This is delivering the service of 'casting, aluminium, lost-wax'. Lost-wax casting is a process for creating objects, from simple to complex, for a variety of metals (such as gold, silver, brass, or bronze) by casting an original model or pattern. This dataset represents the casting of 1 kg of aluminium and aluminum low-alloy parts by lost-wax casting. The service includes the input of aluminium ingots and alloys, along with their melting, casting, dewaxing, cutting, grinding, straightening, machining, and non-destructive testing. It also includes water and energy consumption, emissions and materials` end-of-life. However, it excludes the final product material and alloying additives. Lost-wax casted aluminium is used in industries requiring mass produced metal parts with a high level of dimensional accuracy, producing critical components for aerospace, automotive, and medical applications. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. The reference product amount is 1.
