Casting - steel - lost-wax (market for)

The activity generating the emissions is market for casting, steel, lost-wax. The reference product is casting, steel, lost-wax. This is delivering the service of casting, steel, lost-wax. Lost-wax casting is a process for creating objects, from simple to complex, in 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 steel small parts and precision parts with an average mass of 61 kg and the biggest ones weighting 91 kg by lost-wax casting. The service includes steel input, mold manufacturing, melting of stainless steel and alloy inputs, casting, thermal treatment, straightening, cutting, grinding 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 steel is used in industries requiring mass produced metal parts with a high level of dimensional accuracy, producing critical components for medical, automotive, aerospace and nuclear energy applications. The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary market activity.
