General comment The product flow describes a primary aluminum alloy used for creating a body-in-white. This denotes a stage in automotive design or manufacturing where the car body sheet metal has been assembled but before painting occurs. The processing level involves casting and forming of the alloy. It ensures technical compliance with industry standards, has high quality, and the usage information pertains to the automotive industry. Production route begins with the extraction of bauxite, followed by the Bayer process for alumina production, and subsequent electrolysis for aluminum, ending with alloying and forming. The educt name includes bauxite, alumina. The aluminum alloy body-in-white is part of a production mix and is available 'at plant', prior to distribution or assembly into vehicles.
