In automobile industries aluminum is used to manufacturing different parts of motor vehicles. The major advantage was found in aluminum is less weight with high strength. This aluminum replaces steel wheels due to its physical and chemical property. The aluminum alloy A356 wheel will subject to different loads under running conditions. Fatigue is most important factor to be considered for aluminum alloy wheel. In this paper, fatigue life of aluminum alloy wheel A356 has been reviewed about the radial loading and test conditions. The aluminum alloy wheel model was designed by using Solid works 14 software. Then 3D model was converted into IGES file then imported to ANSYS, we found the result of static and fatigue analysis of alloy wheel. Also we find out the life of wheel, factor of safety by using S-N curve.
