Life cycle assessment as a method of limitation of a negative environment impact of castings
Journal Title: Archiwum Odlewnictwa - Year 2011, Vol 11, Issue 3
Abstract
Casting production constitutes environmental problems going far beyond the foundry plant area. Applying a notion of the life cycle the input (suppliers side) and output factors (clients side) can be identified. The foundry plant activities for the environment hazard mitigation can be situated on various stages of the casting life cycle. The environment impact of motorisation castings made of different materials – during the whole life cycle of castings – are discussed in the paper. It starts from the charge material production, then follows via the casting process, car assembly, car exploitation and ends at the car breaking up for scrap.
