Casting - steel - lost-wax (market for casting - steel - lost-wax)

Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.8. 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 cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is market activity. The reference product amount is 1.
