Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is grain oriented electrical steel production, 0.23 mm coil. The Reference Product is grain oriented electrical steel, 0.23 mm coil. Grain oriented electrical steel, 0.23 mm coil is a metal product. It is a special type of steel, which is used in the core of electromagnetic devices like trasformers, motors, or generator. The functionality of this steel is to allow high electromagnetic permeability, to decrease hysteresis, and low core loss. This is needed to reduce power consumptions and increase efficiency. This ferro-alloy contains 3.2% of Silicon. The production starts with the hot rolled 3.2%Si coil enter the plant. The coil undergoes the following processes: coil preparation, annealing, picklinkg, cold rolling, degreasing, annealing, decarburisation, box annealing, heat flattening, coating, and finishing. It is sold in form of coils. The Reference Product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity.
