Impact on Aluminum and Ferrous Industries of Accelerating Substitution of Aluminum for Iron and Steel in U.S. Automotive Production: A Preliminary Analysis,

摘要

The report covers the results of a preliminary feasibility investigation that was undertaken with the primary objectives of determining the economic potentials arising from an expected rapid expansion of aluminum usage in automotive applications and evaluating the opportunities for meeting this increased demand through increased recycling of aluminum. This phase concentrates on evaluation of such factors as aluminum scrap supply trends,market and geographic requirements,energy,and transportation.
