Chapter 1089 Materials
.Kou Fan Wubing looked at the recent investment statement of Southeast Heavy Industry Group. It was still two..." It hurts, and in less than a year, I actually invested more than 60 billion yuan in several laboratory projects, which is indeed a bit too much.
However, from the current projects, Fan Wubing thinks it is still necessary, especially the issue of electromagnetic armor or composite installation early, which is relatively important and has a wide range of uses in the future. There is no need to worry about not being able to recover the cost.
In fact, these projects have the largest investment in the early stages of construction. Once they get on track, the capital consumption will be relatively smaller. Next, Southeast Heavy Industry Group will criticize Fan Wubingbei for the next year's research project budget, which will be about 3 billion yuan, which is relatively much smaller.
"Of course, if there are new projects, or if additional investments are made, the main leadership of Southeast Heavy Industry Group has emphasized this point in particular when reporting to Fan Wubing.
Fan Wubing looked at the budget report, signed the letter, and handed it to them before saying, "Look soon, our large aircraft project will enter the operation stage, but some of the supporting things have not yet been kept up. If we want to convert the large aircraft into an air early warning aircraft, the required platform should also be prepared in advance."
The design plan for the large aircraft project led by Fan Investment Group has long been released. The digestion and absorption of motivation samples and some key technical data obtained from Russia has been completed, and some key materials have been implemented. At this time, the overall design and project refinement work are steadily progressing. If nothing unexpected happens, the actual operation will be entered after the New Year. At present, everyone is still very confident to complete this work within three years.
Once you have a mature large aircraft model, it will be much easier to build your own practical large aircraft with this platform. At this time, Fan Wubing's mind is basically filled with air early warning aircraft, air tankers, large strategic transport aircraft, etc.
.
Based on his various ideas, he should now enter the research topic of stealth technology and anti-stealth technology, composite armor technology and electromagnetic armor technology, which are more stimulating to Fan Wubing. He hopes that after the large aircraft is released, he can immediately hook up on these platforms and quickly enter the practical exercise.
In this case, the experts from Southeast Heavy Industry Group were busy working again to straighten out Fan Wubing's requirements. Naturally, one of the biggest benefits in China is that there is no need to worry about the lack of manpower, even the talents of various professionals are not short of them. All they lack is investment and decision.
In the past, under the leadership of the government, some projects have never been established due to excessive investment and internal reasons, just like large aircraft projects. Many people have clearly seen the problems, but due to the constraints of various interest groups, the senior management has never decided whether to establish a project.
Now Fan Wubing has integrated this part of the technical force to realize various projects in a private capacity. Whether to establish a project depends only on his personal opinion, so these things have become very simple, a system transformation, and the most difficult thing to solve is immediately solved. Since several major companies actually have no board of directors. The only major shareholder is Fan Wubing, and the government's participation in shares only takes part in a technical way. Therefore, what Fan Wubing said is the direction of the company's efforts." After Fan Wubing added a budget of 2 billion to Southeast Heavy Industry Group, he finally clarified the clue here.
After finishing the work here, Fan Wubing also found a very important issue, that is, the importance of his own materials application research institute became more and more prominent.
People always regard new material technology as the basis of high technology, and major countries have placed the development of new material technology in a special strategic position in the country. Since the 1980s, the United States has spent 1 billion US dollars each year to specifically research new materials, with its focus on metal composite materials, alloys, high-temperature structural ceramics, high-crystalline polymer materials, etc. At present, the United States has already taken a long leading position in the two fields of composite materials and polymer materials.
Japan is naturally not willing to let it go. In the industrial basic technology research plan formulated and implemented by the Ministry of Industry and Industry, a total of twelve research projects were included, of which new materials account for half, with the focus being precision ceramics, conductive polymer materials, composite materials, photoreactive materials and electronic information materials. Currently, Japan is in the world's leading position in the fields of precision ceramics, optical fiber materials, electronic information materials, etc.
The EU has also specially formulated a new material opening plan. In the Eureka plan alone, there are as many as thirty research projects belonging to new materials.
A common focus of research by various countries is high-performance structural materials, which are new materials with high strength, high toughness, high temperature resistance, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, etc., for example, research and development of high-efficiency ceramic motivation.
Using ceramic motors, the working temperature of the motor can be increased from 1,000 degrees to 1,300 degrees, and the thermal efficiency can be increased from 30% to 50%. Weight is 20% and dyes can be saved from 30% to 50%.
According to experts from Ford Motor Company in the United States, if cars in the United States use Beici motivation, they can save at least 500 million barrels of oil each year.
In recent years, the United States has invested more than one billion US dollars and organized dozens of companies to engage in research on Taoguan motivation. Among them, large enterprises such as General Motors, Ford Motor Company, and Knowlton have successively established new ceramic specialized production centers.
Japan also regards structural ceramics as another new field after microelectronics that can bring huge benefits to enterprises, so it is at the cost of competitors in the United States. Currently, there are thousands of companies engaged in new ceramics Kaian. Currently, Japan's motivation for introductory and modification has reached a scale and has equipped some cars.
Germany's research on ceramic motivation is also at the forefront of the world. Mercedes-Benz's new sedan uses ceramic motivation and the effect is good. In the Eureka plan, France, Germany and Sweden have jointly opened the ceramic motivation since the 1980s. Their work stability can reach 1,600 degrees, which is 600 degrees higher than ordinary motivation. It can be imagined how much its efficiency can be improved.
As for the composite material, it is composed of matrix materials including resin, metal, ceramic, etc. and reinforcement. The mechanical properties and functions of the composite material can be obtained according to actual needs through appropriate material selection and optimized design.
Composite materials are widely used in many fields such as aerospace, automobiles, transportation, bridges, civil construction and national defense construction. The current focus of composite materials is on metal-based, ceramic-based, and carbon-based composite materials.
In fact, although the domestic response to this has been a little slower, it is not unaware of its importance. The competition in alloy technology has been very fierce over the years. It is mainly carried out between the United States and Japan. For example, after the Americans appropriately add some ceramic powder to the alloy, the wear resistance of this alloy can be increased by 35 times. For example, an iron-based memory alloy developed by Japan can replace the expensive titanium-based memory alloy and reduce the cost by 9%.
.
As for the so-called plastic alloys, they are also very impressive.
At an appropriate temperature, the plastic alloy can extend ten times, dozens or even hundreds of times, and will neither shrink or break. It is originally a hard and brittle alloy. People can use its plasticity to blow it into a thin shell like a balloon.
For example, titanium alloy was originally a difficult alloy to get back to. Its maximum elongation rate at room temperature was only about 30%. In the past, when titanium alloy was used to process parts with complex shapes, creep processing was often used. The deformation process required more than one time. Now plastic molding is used, and it generally takes no more than eight minutes to manufacture any alloy parts responsible for shapes.
Titanium alloys are used a lot on aircraft, missiles and space shuttles. In order to solve the problem of difficult parts processing, in addition to plastic molding, plastic expansion and connection can also be adopted. Specifically, it is to control the temperature below the melting point of the metal and weld it, and under sufficient heat and pressure, the atoms and molecules on the contact surfaces of the two metals are spread to each other, so as to connect them into a whole.
For titanium alloys, the temperatures of these two technologies are very similar. Therefore, these two processes can be carried out simultaneously. That is, it can complete the task of diffusion connection during deformation, so that large components with very complex shapes can be processed directly at one time. Compared with previous suppression and welding, the cost can be reduced by 60% and the weight can be reduced by 50%.
In fact, Europe, the United States and Japan have conducted quite extensive and in-depth research on the plasticity of metal materials. In addition to titanium alloys, there have been excellent research results on the plasticity of high-strength steels and high-temperature alloys.
The Materials Research Institute, a subsidiary of Fan Investment Group, mainly started the research of this project with Fan Wubing's advice after he took back the Ukrainian experts. Although it started late, the research also received the participation and support of the military. Therefore, the development was very fast. The current ceramic motivation technology has made some breakthroughs, and it is estimated that it will not take long to enter the practical stage.
In the past, when the Soviets went to fill the young armor with emery, although the effect was very good, it was really a bit too boastful. If it was filled with special ceramics of new materials, the cost would be much lower, but the effect would be better.
Now Fan Wubing deeply feels that as a big shot who looks at the overall situation, there are indeed many things to consider. If the various industries under his jurisdiction do not work together, the benefits and developments of each industry will probably be greatly reduced.
