摘要:Aims: Sustainable closed loop supply chain between vehicles industry and construction materials industry through exploiting of sections of end-of-life vehicles frames as steel cores of honeycomb sandwich panels. Such sections are attributed by high value-added because they are made of hot stamped steel sheets with good thicknesses by using matured manufacturing technology. Reclamation of steel sections can help reduce energy and material consumption and Co2 emissions.Study Design: Practical application of disassembly is followed by experimental work to prepare reclaimed steel cores honeycomb sandwich panels testing samples to study reliability and viability of such honeycomb through studying of mechanical properties and comparing reclaimed steel with recycle and virgin metals to find out energy and Co2 emissions reductions of reclaimed end-of-life vehicle steel frames sections into honeycomb panels.Methodology: End-of-life vehicle frames are studied and disassembled to classify three suitable sections to be used as steel cores for honeycomb sandwich panels. Thin galvanized steel sheets are also used to cover the cores at the top and bottom as sandwich for both purposes of strengthen and decoration. Reclamation and testing routes are figured and mechanical properties data are recorded to be used for under load behavior analysis. Feasibility study of reclaimed sections honeycomb is based on energy and Co2 emissions reductions through eco-comparison energy and Co2 ratios based mitigation among reclaimed steel and recycled and virgin metals include steel, stainless steel and aluminium.Results: End-of-life sections can be successfully reclaimed into honeycomb to substitute current consumption of paper, aluminium and stainless steel in field of construction materials which delivered with a reduction in energy consumption and Co2 emission. By using these high value-added sections, mechanical properties of honeycomb can be enhanced to be more than enough for construction application. High levels of cut in both of energy and Co2 emissions are obtained.Conclusion: Reliable steel cores honeycomb sandwich panels can be produced to be used as construction material by exploiting of manufacturing technology and assembly techniques for reclamation. End-of-life sections are of high value-added and also can reduce using of new materials for making honeycomb as a sustainable manufacturing contribution.
