Abstract The fatigue life and reliability of wrought carbon steel castings produced with an optimized mold design are predicted using a finite element method integrated with reliability calculations. The optimization of the mold is carried out using MAGMASoft mainly based on porosity reduction as a response. After validating the initial mold design with experimental data, a spring flap, a common component of an automotive suspension system is designed and optimized followed by fatigue life prediction based on simulation using Fe-safe. By taking into consideration the variation in both stress and strength, the stress-strength model is used… More >
