Die casting
0.1
Description
Production is basically done by the casting of ingots. Due to the high vapour pressure of zinc and tin, parts of these inputs arise as air emissions. Filters are commonly used to abate these emissions.
The casting needs the moulds and energy for melting the alloy. Moulds are either made of metal (steel) or of sand.All data are calculated based on assumptions and theoretical models
