HiQLCD China Aluminium (HiQLCD-AL) industry database cover

Chinese life cycle data across the aluminium value chain

Explore raw materials, aluminium, alloys and processed products. Match grade, product form and available feedstock scenarios to your purchased materials or production inputs.

Materials and processes across the aluminium value chain

Raw materials and smelting inputs

Bauxite, alumina, aluminium hydroxide, liquid aluminium and ingots, alongside petroleum coke and carbon anode materials.

Casting and wrought aluminium alloys

Common casting-alloy ingots (such as ADC10, ADC12 and A360), alongside wrought-alloy ingots and aluminium master alloys.

Aluminium foil and cast-rolled strip

Foil and strip products (including 3003, 8011 and 8079 grades), modeled across primary and recycled feedstock scenarios.

Sheet, bar, coil, profiles and frames

Aluminium-alloy sheet, bar, coil, extrusions and electrical rod, featuring alloy grade and feedstock details.

Casting, extrusion and scrap treatment

Ingot casting and profile extrusion processes, alongside pre-consumer and post-consumer scrap sorting and treatment.

System boundary: Cradle to Consumer
Dataset category: Materials
Identity ID: 21400558-6989-4f65-b72a-685722d5d0d6
Associated ID: 2d0683f0-fd11-4cf2-add5-e25d70e61901

Included activities starts: The activity begins with the production and import of "AlMn10" in the region
Included activities ends: The activity ends with the supply of "AlMn10" to consumers. Transport is included. Product losses during transport are considered negligible and are excluded
Description: This is a market dataset representing the consumer market in the region. It includes transport of products from the factory gate to consumers. Transport services are calculated according to the transport conditions for this product in the region. Aluminium master alloys are aluminium-based alloys made by melting aluminium with other metals or non-metals at elevated temperatures. They are used to adjust and control the chemical composition and microstructure of cast or wrought aluminium alloys and play a key role in improving alloy properties. The mass fraction of the principal alloying element can exceed 50%. AlMn10 is an aluminium master alloy containing 10% manganese. This dataset covers the main raw and auxiliary materials, energy consumption, waste treatment and associated air emissions in aluminium master alloy production. It excludes direct or indirect greenhouse gas emissions from the manufacture of transport equipment and similar equipment, personnel travel during production, and routine office activities. The inventory combines data from multiple sources and has been revised based on expert advice and the best available information.
Activity Description: The main production routes for aluminium master alloys are melt alloying, thermal reduction and electrolysis. Different metals are melted at high temperatures in specified proportions and added in batches. After thorough stirring and refining, the melt is cast into ingots.
Process Description: Aluminium master alloys are aluminium-based alloys made by melting aluminium with other metals or non-metals at elevated temperatures. They are used to adjust and control the chemical composition and microstructure of cast or wrought aluminium alloys and play a key role in improving alloy properties. The mass fraction of the principal alloying element can exceed 50%. AlMn10 is an aluminium master alloy containing 10% manganese.
