Abstract

Language:

The demand for structural alloys essential in sectors such as energy and transportation is predicted to increase significantly by 2050, yet their production is energy-intensive and emits substantial greenhouse gases. This review aims to explore the sustainability of structural metals through various methods including reduced-carbon-dioxide primary production, recycling efforts, scrap-compatible alloy design, and enhanced alloy longevity. Our methodology includes an analysis of the effectiveness and readiness of each approach, highlighting novel structural materials that offer improved energy efficiency, thermal stability, and enhanced mechanical properties. By integrating these sustainable practices, we assess their potential to mitigate environmental impacts while also fulfilling the growing demand for durable materials. The findings underline the critical balance between technological advancement and environmental responsibility in the optimization of structural metals, ensuring their continued utility in many demanding applications without compromising ecological integrity.
