Which code does this activity belong in?
Nonferrous Metal Die-Casting Foundries introduces molten nonferrous metal under high pressure into molds or dies to manufacture castings. The distinguishing factor separating this code from Aluminum Foundries (except Die-Casting) and Other Nonferrous Metal Foundries (except Die-Casting) is the use of high-pressure die-casting methods; those codes cover establishments that pour molten metal into molds without applying high pressure, whether working with aluminum or other nonferrous metals.
