Which code does this activity belong in?
Aluminum Foundries (except Die-Casting) covers establishments that pour molten aluminum into molds to create aluminum castings through conventional casting methods. The key distinction from Nonferrous Metal Die-Casting Foundries is the exclusion of high-pressure die-casting processes; establishments using high-pressure injection into dies belong in die-casting. This code also differs from Other Nonferrous Metal Foundries, which covers casting of non-aluminum nonferrous metals such as copper, nickel, lead, and zinc through the same pouring method.
