Chen Huaiqing and Han Yang then had a long conversation, with Ren Fei naturally accompanying them.

Han Yang did not intend to change the previously set plans, such as the Rongyu Economic Zone.

The two cities of Rongqing and Chongqing are located in the hinterland. If they don't work together to develop, it really won't work.

The other thing is about the university town.

Han Yang didn't think there was anything wrong with using science and education to develop the city.

The university town in Chengdu is developing quite well. Many new industries have been formed around the university town in Chengdu.

For example, computer games.

Han Yang doesn't play games, but that doesn't mean he doesn't pay attention to them.

In China, there are still many people who don’t know what computers and the Internet are, but in cities, the Internet wave has begun to sweep across.

Chen Huaiqing also publicly said that the Internet will change the world's discourse and allow countless people to invest in it.

Other changes are not yet felt deeply, but the fact that communication is more convenient and information acquisition is faster is really felt.

It was something that happened not long ago, and the whole country knew about it.

The development speed of Internet news is quite fast.

Chen Huaiqing did not get too involved in the re-direction of Yuzhou. After attending the opening ceremony of United University, he went directly to Southwest Aluminum.

Metal Aluminum In the history of mankind, aluminum has not been used on a large scale for a long time.

Before the 19th century, aluminum was a very rare metal. At that time, European royal families were proud to use aluminum tableware, which was a symbol of wealth and power.

Nowadays, the production and smelting of aluminum has become commonplace.

In the aviation industry, aluminum alloys have begun to be used in large quantities. Compared with steel, aluminum alloys are lighter in weight.

If the weight of the aircraft is reduced, it can carry more cargo or reduce fuel consumption.

Southwest Aluminum is a factory built during the Third Line Project period. The factory code is Metallurgical Ministry Factory 112.

Of course, the factory code is no longer used.

Southwest Aluminum has a very important position in China's industrial industry. Before the 60,000-ton die forging press was developed, the 30,000-ton hydraulic die forging press here was the strongest in the country.

Forgings used to make H-6.

Yuzhou is carrying out enterprise reform, starting from local enterprises and then directly sweeping to the entire enterprises in Yuzhou. The Southwest Aluminum Processing Plant has also undergone joint-stock reform.

Southwest Aluminum was established!

Motta Holdings is the largest shareholder of Southwest Aluminum, accounting for 20% of the shares.

Twenty percent becomes the largest shareholder?

Southwest Aluminum also has several major shareholders, including Shuchuan State-owned Assets and Yuzhou State-owned Assets, and the other two major shareholders are Huaguo Aluminum and the Pension Fund Company.

Southwest Aluminum is a company listed on the Southwest Stock Exchange.

The main products now include: aviation aluminum alloy, aluminum alloy special sheets, special-shaped aluminum alloy rings, etc.

By the way, aluminum alloy windows are also a product category developed by Southwest Aluminum.

Southwest Aluminum is also actively engaged in development and research in the field of building materials.

Nowadays, high-rise buildings are being built everywhere, and the demand for aluminum alloy building materials is quite large.

The aluminum alloy building materials produced by Southwest Aluminum are very popular in the market because of their large brand and good quality.

After all, Southwest Aluminum, as soon as you hear the name, you know it is a big company.

In addition to ordinary civilian products, Southwest Aluminum has invested great efforts in research and development of aviation aluminum alloys.

Southwest Aluminum is the main supplier of aviation aluminum alloys for Murata Aircraft.

At this time, about 80% of the materials used in aircraft manufacturing were aluminum alloy materials.

Unlike in the future, where composite materials will be used extensively, the use of aluminum alloy materials in aircraft has dropped to 20%.

In addition, Southwest Aluminum is also developing aluminum alloys for automobiles.

Today's cars are basically made of steel.

Compared with the price of aluminum alloy, the price of steel is cheaper.

In this case, the cost of car production will naturally be lower if steel is used.

However, in the next few years, environmental protection will become a general trend.

Under the pressure of environmental protection, automobile manufacturers naturally have to find various ways to reduce fuel consumption.

After all, vehicle exhaust emissions are the main source of pollution.

If you want to reduce fuel consumption, there is a very simple way, which is to reduce the weight of the car.

As we all know, there is a big difference in fuel consumption between four people in a car and one person in the car.

If you want to reduce the weight of your car, then using aluminum alloy parts is undoubtedly a very good choice.

This is where aluminum alloy engines come from.

Compared with cast iron engines, aluminum alloy engines are 30% lighter in weight.

Although it only weighs about 20 pounds.

Don’t look at 20 pounds as small, it’s already a lot.

However, the price of aluminum alloy engines is much higher than that of cast iron engines.

One is because of the technical difficulty of aluminum alloy engines, and the other is the price of aluminum itself.

Electrolytic aluminum is a heavily polluting industry.

In addition to finding ways to work on the engine, we also work on the body and some parts of the car.

However, the processing requirements for aluminum alloys are also very high.

Anyway, if aluminum alloys are to be popularized in automobiles, it is quite difficult due to technical factors and price.

Chen Huaiqing came to Southwest Aluminum mainly to look at aviation aluminum alloys.

Southwest Aluminum has developed a new aluminum alloy material called aluminum-lithium alloy.

This belongs to the third generation of aviation aluminum alloy.

In 1983, Alcon Aluminum Company and Alco Aluminum, two major international aluminum alloy manufacturers, simultaneously announced the successful development of a new revolutionary material, aluminum-lithium alloy.

In fact, this material has been discovered a long time ago.

Of course, discovery and application are completely different things.

Just like graphene!

It took many years from discovery to application.

Theoretically speaking, graphene can be used to make chips, batteries, etc., but there has been no breakthrough in technology.

Alcon Aluminum and Alco Aluminum have launched practical aluminum-lithium alloy materials, which is undoubtedly a breakthrough.

This material has excellent performance in specific gravity, stiffness, strength, corrosion resistance, fatigue resistance and ductility.

Compared with the second generation aviation aluminum alloy, it is absolutely much superior.

Aluminum-lithium alloy is not only used in the aviation field, but also in the aerospace field.

In the past, China did not master this technology at all. Now that Southwest Aluminum has developed it, it will be extremely beneficial to Murata Aircraft.

Of course, although research and development is successful, large-scale industrial production will still take some time.

Chen Huaiqing came here with some words of commendation for the aluminum-lithium alloy research and development team.

With the availability of this kind of material, it will undoubtedly be extremely important to China's aviation industry.
