This EPD covers the Aluminium alloys for Hydro Aluminium´s extrusion ingot products in Europe. The EPD results represent an average of all products produced in Hydro Aluminium Primary Metal casthouses in Europe, covering the integrated process route of Aluminum production. The calculation includes Cradle to gate with options apporach covering the full value chain both for primary and remelt production. Extrusion ingots of aluminium alloys is produced by vertical continuous casting, from primary or recycled metal. The metal is heat treathed and sawed to lenghts in the respective casthouse before shipping to the extrusion plant. Aluminum extrusion ingots are used as input material in the extrusion process to produce aluminium profiles for further manufacturing of products for various applications. For more detailed information about chemical composition, diameters, lengths and tolerances: www.hydro.com/en/products/casthouse-products/ All products are produced according to European standard EN 486. The products have a chemical composition within the alloy groups: 1000, 3000, 5000 and 6000.
