Description

Technical Field

[0002] Hollow axles are a critical component of the running gear of rail transit vehicles, and their quality directly determines the vehicle's ride comfort, operational stability, and safety. As rail transit vehicles operate at increasingly higher speeds, the demands on axle quality are becoming increasingly stringent. Ultrasonic testing is a crucial technology for detecting internal and surface defects in hollow axles. While ultrasonic testing of hollow axles has become automated, existing methods for calibrating ultrasonic testing sensitivity cannot effectively calibrate and define the arc transition positions and inner hole surface positions of hollow axles due to the complex axle structure. Furthermore, existing test sample blocks lack artificial defects such as inner hole annular defects and arc transition defects, making it difficult to calibrate and quantitatively compare inner hole surface defects.
