Casting - aluminium - lost-wax (market for)

The activity generating the emissions is market for casting, aluminium, lost-wax. The reference product is casting, aluminium, lost-wax. 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 reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary market activity.
