The use of aluminium alloys in automotive applications is one of the following energy material(s) topics in the world.

• Write a 2000-2500 word critical evaluation of the lifetime energy inputs to, and outputs from, using this material in its/their appropriate technological setting.
• You should also consider the environmental impact of the (likely) wastes arising from the production and use of the material(s) including what happens at end-of-life.
• Social/economic and practical issues associated with obtaining any raw/other materials for use in manufacture should also be taken into consideration.
• Your evaluation should be supported by correctly-cited references and, where possible, by numerical data for the material(s) you are considering, although we recognise that the amount of numerical data available may be limited (and approximate).
• You should use your evaluation to draw clear conclusions about the benefits and drawbacks of the materials(s) considered.

Make clear in your essay, the word must be between 2000-2500 words and references to literature.
