I am performing a LCA study about a system that includes brushed stainless steel. Does anyone have information about LCI or LCA studies including the production/use of brushed stainless steel?
If you don't find any information, you should search for the application of brushed stainless steel. For example, I have read that it is used in household appliances, kitchen accessories and decorative coatings. I have seen quite a few studies on the LCA of refrigerators for example. You might be able to extract information on the manufacture of the material you are looking for. Sometimes it is complicated because some papers go directly to the material steel and do not address the type of steel you are looking for.
