Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.10. 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 market activity. The reference product amount is 1.
