Abstract
Through the appearance observation of suspension rod in the metro gearbox, macro and micro observation of the fracture and quantitative analysis of the fracture, combined with the metallographic and hardness examination results of the boom, the finite element model was established and the force analysis of suspension rod was carried out to explore the causes of the fracture of the gearbox boom. The results show that the nature of suspension rod fracture is fatigue. The cause of its fatigue fracture is related to the low fatigue tolerance for booms in metro operation, and the surface shallow decarburization plays a role in promoting the fatigue fracture of suspension rod. The life of fatigue crack growth in the boom is 819 stations (or 1210 km), and the fatigue initiation life is 522,452 km.
