摘要
Life cycle assessment (LCA) is widely used to evaluate product environmental impacts, while detailed LCAs are missing that model the effect of design and manufacturing decisions on U.S. ductile iron casting environmental impacts. We develop a parametric LCA model by collecting inventory data from 11 foundries (26% of U.S. production) and literature to quantify the impact of design and manufacturing decisions on the product's cu-mulative energy demand (CED) and global warming potential (GWP). The model reveals the cradle-to-gate CED and GWP of U.S. ductile iron products at 24-50 MJ/kgproduct (mean: 37 MJ/kgproduct) and 1.6-3.0 kg.CO2eq./ kgproduct (mean: 2.2 kg.CO2eq./kgproduct). A Sobol-indices sensitivity analysis revealed the factors that have the greatest effect in reducing these environmental impacts: casting yield, electricity grid, recycled content, and furnace technology. A comparative whole life cycle analysis of automotive ductile iron applications versus forged steel, stamped steel and aluminum alternatives highlights the design and manufacturing conditions that mini-mize life cycle impacts.
