The ultrasonic inspection interval of different types of vehicle axles and the overview of CRH2A EMU axles was introduced. By comprehensively considering the initial crack, critical crack, stress ratio, fracture toughness and effective stress intensity factor and other factors, the formula for calculating the fatigue crack propagation life was obtained. Furthermore, based on the unilateral semi-elliptical surface crack existing at the weakest part of the axle and the maximum stress amplitude, the fatigue crack growth life of CRH2A EMU axles was calculated, with comparison and analysis of the ultrasonic flaw detection cycle of the axles, it was proved feasible to optimize the current ultrasonic flaw detection interval.
