- catalog abstract "This work compares steel and aluminum for B-I-W (body-in-white) applications. In this paper, assessments are made of both materials along non-traditional environmental/health costs for the lifetime of the B-I-W. This life is divided into four stages: mining and refining of the metal, production of the structure, use, and past-use. Gaseous, liquid, and solid effluents are tracked for these four stages. Comparisons between the two metals in terms of airborne volatiles are easily achieved because the same six categories of gases can be traced through all life stages. The aluminum case produces higher quantities of all gaseous effluents during mining/refining and production. However, in several of the gas categories, the disdvantages incurred in the early stages of the B-I-W life are mitigated by the advantages achieved during the use and post-use stages. Over the entire life, the aluminum version produces fewer emissions in four of the six categories. Comparisons in terms of liquid and solid effluents are more problematic because different wastes are generated for the steel and aluminum scenarios. This research concludes that while the aluminum B-I-W costs more monetarily, this alternative produces lower quantities of certain emissions. It is assumed that these reduced effluents translate into an unspecified measure of environmental/health benefits.".
