Reliability predictions have become a standard practice for ductile iron safety components and this paper shows how reliability analysis has been used to verify process changes. Examples of reliability and survival probability analysis applied to fully machined and assembled components to evaluate tooling and material changes are presented. These examples demonstrated how the casting industry is “protecting the customer”.
