Welding - arc - aluminium (market for)

The activity generating the emissions is market for welding, arc, aluminium. The Reference Product is welding, arc, aluminium. This is delivering the service of welding, arc, aluminium. Welding is a process used to join metals together by using electricity to create enough heat to melt metal, and the melted metals, when cool, result in a binding of the metals. This dataset represents aluminium arc welding using various technologies, meaning that it uses a welding power supply to create an elecric arc between the metal stick ("electrode") and the base material to melt the metals at the point of contact. The service includes material input, energy consumption and emissions. The process is performed when aluminium parts need to be joined together usually in ship building, automotive industries, construction industries, construction industries, mechanical industries, etc. The Reference Product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is market activity.
