In this step, molten metal is typically combined with high quality, in-house scrap and then cast into aluminum ingots (References 6 and 7). A melt loss occurs when dross is skimmed off the molten aluminum. Electricity for ingot casting is assumed to be produced by the same fuel mix used for aluminum smelting because smelting and ingot casting usually occur in the same facility.Important note: although most of the data in the US LCI database has undergone some sort of review, the database as a whole has not yet undergone a formal validation process.
