In parallel with the advancement of technology and the increasing importance given to the environment
and climate change, interest in electric vehicles has also increased and today's automotive manufacturers
have made all their plans in this field. With the popularity of electric vehicles, other components used
in today's vehicles have started to be designed separately for electric vehicles due to the differences in
the forces and resistances between vehicles with electric motors and vehicles with internal combustion
engines. Wheels, which are considered to be among the most important of these components, play an
important role in both carrying the load of the vehicle and absorbing the force transmitted by the road.
This study was conducted to indicate the importance of this component and the material used in its
production. All design stages of this wheel were done in CATIA V5 R21 design program. ANSYS
Workbench 18.0 structural analysis program was used for the evaluation of the study, and Static
Structural and Modal Analysis process options were used for the analysis processes. Al 6061-T6
aluminum alloy, MgAZ31 magnesium alloy, AlSI18 Ni350 high strength steel, as well as AlSI18 Ni350
high strength steel, which are the alloy types frequently used in today's automobile wheels, were used
in material selection. When examining the results of the studies; Al 6061-T6 alloy was found to have a
higher frequency value in the natural frequency range with 194.85 Hz compared to MgAz31 alloy and AlSI 18Ni350 steel, as well as in the forced frequency range, AlSI 18Ni350 steel was found to be better
in the forced frequency range with a low value of 1026.7 Hz compared to the other two alloys.
