Abstract 1 > The appearance of cracks at the casting skin normally are caused by single defects like sand, dross or slag with an Ø < 1 mm. > Single defects in the cast skin are more significant than anomalies in the microstructure at the casting skin and in the cast wall. > The blasting of the cast skin improve the bending fatigue strength up to 50 % compared to non-blasted cast surfaces. > Blasted surfaces have a 25 % reduced bending fatigue strength compared to machined surfaces. > The prevention of “big defects” is state of the art, but the producing of castings completely without failures are unrealistic. The design of the castings have to tolerate different micro structural and surface defects.
