•    Description:  This article addresses  life cycle assessment (LCA) claims made by the steel industry about its products in automotive lightweighting applications over comparable aluminum solutions. The authors provide thorough evidence to back up their assertion that the steel industry has been manipulating data in its LCA model in order to provide a false advantage of steel over aluminum. This paper also raises concerns about the violations by the steel industry of basic ISO principles and rules related to making comparative assertions intended for public use.
