Abstract
The automotive industry faces increasing pressure to reduce environmental impacts, particularly due to stringent regulations like the Euro 7 standards, which limit non-exhaust emissions from vehicles. This study presents a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of the High-Speed Laser Cladding (HSLC) process for coating brake discs, developed on the IANUS cell of Prima Additive s.r.l. The primary objective is to evaluate the environmental performance of this innovative coating process, focusing on Cumulative Energy Demand (CED) and Global Warming Potential (GWP). The LCA follows a cradle-to-gate approach, encompassing raw material extraction, production, and the HSLC process itself. Additionally, a streamlined cost analysis was conducted to estimate the added cost of coating the brake disc.
The functional unit is a Grey Cast Iron (GCI) brake disc coated with 430L stainless steel and titanium carbide (TiC) powders
