Assessment Of Environmental Indicators During The Production Of A Steel Party By The Wire And Arc Additive Manufacturing Method: Energy Demand And Carbon Footprint

https://doi.org/10.18412/1816-0395-2025-11-42-49

Abstract

Two production methods for the same steel part – traditional forging and wire arc additive manufacturing – were compared. A life cycle assessment was conducted, including production and post-processing stages. Environmental indicators such as energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions were analyzed. It was found that total energy consumption for the additive manufacturing method was 9390.68 MJ, and greenhouse gas emissions amounted to 289.34 kg CO2-equivalent, which are 76.88 % and 96.58 % lower, respectively, compared to the traditional forging method.
