Key Data Set Information
Location CN
Reference year 2019
Name
Aluminum ingot casting ; Primary aluminum ingot ; Liquid primary aluminum
Use advice for data set When utilizing this dataset, users should consider the specific energy consumption and emissions associated with the casting process of aluminum ingots. It is crucial to account for potential recycling of aluminum at the end-of-life phase and be aware that this data pertains to primary aluminum which is obtained directly from the smelting of ore without any substantial recycled content.
Technical purpose of product or process The primary aluminum ingot produced through the casting process is used for a range of applications, including but not limited to, the manufacturing of transport vehicles, construction materials, aerospace components, electrical conductors, and various packaging solutions.
