What does axle breakage mean?
1 Answers
Axle breakage usually refers to the phenomenon of a car's trailing arm breaking or the axle fracturing. Here are the specific causes of automobile axle breakage: 1. The axle material is generally medium-carbon alloy steel, such as 40Cr-Mn. Using inferior materials can easily lead to axle fracture. 2. Even with proper material selection, inadequate heat treatment can cause problems. Axles generally require a soft interior and hard exterior. Achieving this requires complex processing procedures. If simply treated to be hard both inside and out, the axle becomes prone to breakage. 3. Structural issues with the axle, such as stress concentration points, can easily lead to fatigue fracture during use.
