Chapter 163 New Materials

There was no update on the leaking incident, so Ye Zhou had to reinvest his energy in research and development. At this time, the manufacture of various parts of the engine has basically come to an end. More than 3 parts have been completed, and 90% of the key parts have been completed. The first step is to assemble.

But it was at this juncture that he received a call from Wan Zhou.

On the phone, Wan Zhou told him a piece of good news that surprised him.

On the basis of his well-defined experimental direction in the early stage, Sanchi Laboratory has made a breakthrough in the research of ceramic-based fluorescent iron reinforced composite materials. The new material takes into account the high heat resistance, high plasticity and ceramic properties of fluorescent iron. Corrosion resistance and high melting point characteristics, the density is only one-fifth of high-temperature nickel-based aluminum alloys, and one-twelfth of tungsten-based alloys.

This material can not only be used for high-temperature turbine blades, high-temperature combustion chambers, regulating/sealing sheets and other components, but can also directly replace nickel-based titanium alloy superplastic forming process after adjusting the distribution ratio of fluorescent iron reinforcement, and can be directly used for melting and casting Can't make fan blades!
Fluorescent iron does not have the plasticity defects of titanium alloys.

After receiving a lot of documents from Wan Zhou, Ye Zhou couldn't wait to bring the documents to the material laboratory. Of course he didn't mean to overthrow the previous design, but out of efficiency and prudence, he always felt that if only one set If it is not planned, it will be unfavorable to the sedan chair project.

Therefore, after completing the full copy of GE-9X, he still wants to try some newer breakthroughs.

Use ceramic-based fluorescent iron reinforcement materials to manufacture key thermal parts of the engine, completely kicking titanium alloy out of the material range!

The benefits of this are twofold.

First, lighter and more heat-resistant materials can achieve greater thrust-to-weight ratio, higher combustion temperature, and greater thrust.

The second point is that the anti-ablation and anti-oxidation properties of the ceramic base can effectively prolong the life of the engine, reduce the number of engine maintenance, and save a lot of cost in the later stage.

No matter from which point of view, new materials are a step they must take. The only problem is that the engineers who have just relaxed a little will soon be forced to enter high-intensity work.

After entering the material laboratory, the two engineers who were doing the experiment saw Ye Zhou's expression and immediately guessed the weight of the document he was holding in his hand. They took the document solemnly and were planning to ask Ye Zhou for advice, but they didn't expect the other party Already ran away in a flash.

This can't be blamed on Ye Zhou, he has to go to Chen Hao now and propose his latest plan to him.

Looking at Ye Zhou's back, the two engineers sat down helplessly and began to read the materials Ye Zhou sent. After they finished reading all of them, their expressions completely changed.

Shock.

One of them turned to the first page of the material in disbelief, re-read the summary word by word with his eyes wide open, and then said:
"Holy shit. It's awesome. What kind of monster is this three-foot laboratory? What kind of monster is this Ye Zhou? I remember that Yingtie took it out less than three months ago, and even made composite materials so quickly ?”

The long-haired male engineer sitting opposite him nodded and said with the same emotion:

"Otherwise, why do you call him God Ye in private? It's awesome. To be honest, if I go to Sanchi with him, I can do this thing if I let me do it, but it may take some time. "

"Really? Tell me in detail?"

The long-haired man cleared his throat, pointed to the experimental record in the appendix of the document and said:

"You see, first of all, let's make it clear that the development of CMCs materials in China actually has a foundation, and it has also benefited from a lot of policy dividends. The ceramic-based materials of Torch Electronics and Xiamen University's Special Ceramics Laboratory are all relatively advanced in the world. approval, but the question is how to combine ceramic materials and reinforcing materials to meet the engineering application requirements of aviation heating end parts, right?"

"Yes."

The man opposite nodded. This is the reality of domestic ceramic materials, and it is not a secret.

"Okay, now here comes the problem. Xiamen University's special laboratory has never stopped experimenting on this problem, right? They have been working on it for nearly 5 years, and have tried countless formulas and ratios. The materials they make now are still No breakthrough, right?"

"That's right! It's a matter of luck. First, you have to choose the reinforcement material, then you have to choose the fusion conditions, and finally you have to choose the ratio. Each choice is to choose the correct one from thousands of wrong choices. There must be tens of millions of combinations—wait a minute, I understand what you mean, how many experiments have you done in Sanchi Lab?"

Seeing that the other party had understood what he meant, the long-haired man nodded in satisfaction and replied:

"26 times. Is it an exaggeration? They do it once every two days on average, and they found out the formula in less than 60 days. How do you explain this? Luck? What a joke!"

"Look at the preface again. Before the experiment started, Ye Zhou had already drawn up a rough scope for the laboratory. If he followed the scope he set, there would only be about [-] combinations at most."

"Among the 90 types, 60% of them are invalid choices, and a large number of them can be eliminated after only one experiment. So to sum up, Ye Zhou provided the experimenters with less than [-] choices, and then The experimenters drew a lottery among the two thousand kinds, and it took [-] days to draw the grand prize."

"So, do you still think it's luck?"

"To be honest, if I go to Sanchi, no matter how unlucky I am, if I draw two hundred times for a year, I can still get it. That's why I say I will do it. Follow Such a person, is there anything he can't do?"

After hearing what he said, the man on the opposite side opened the document again in silence, and finally sighed and said:
"What's the matter, even if we want to go to other people, they don't necessarily like us. I heard that Sanchi is full of first-line talents, and a bonus is given for a project. I have an acquaintance there, less than three months. They have taken hundreds of thousands of dollars. In the future, the best talents will continue to gather in Sanchi."

The long-haired man nodded and echoed:

"I've heard that too. However, I heard that the bonus was paid by Ye Zhou with his own money, and all the funds allocated by the state were used to buy equipment. No wonder they are awesome, so willing to burn money, can you not be awesome? ?”

"But having said that, we're quite willing to spend money this time, and we've got addicted to the local tyrants. How could the heat treatment cabin allow us to leave the chat open like this before?"

Hearing his words, the man on the opposite side suddenly realized that they were still doing experiments. He waved his hand and said:
"Forget it, they belong to others. You can't eat meat, but you can drink soup. Come on, get the documents, and I'll organize people to come over and arrange trial production immediately. If the quality is stable, maybe they will be in batches in a few days. Let's mix some bonuses sometime!"

While the two engineers were discussing the latest document sent by Ye Zhou, Ye Zhou had already arrived at Chen Hao's office and finished his plan.

Chen Hao on the opposite side frowned, and didn't make a decision right away.

Logically speaking, he should really respect the opinion of Ye Zhou, the chief engineer, but from a rational point of view, he felt that this was too big a step.

"Are you really going to go directly to new materials? Will there be a breakthrough plan?"

"It's not new materials! The plan for the sedan chair remains the same, what I have to do is to make two preparations! Anyway, idle is idle!"

".Engineer Ye, go out and see, who is idle?"

"This is a metaphor! Taking a step back, even if our goal this time is just copying, have you ever thought about what if these old materials based on drawings get stuck? I remember our domestic high-end titanium alloys The industry is immature, what should I do if the production of titanium alloys cannot keep up with the large amount of use in the future? Only new materials can solve this problem once and for all!"

"I know, I know! I didn't say I won't let you do it. I'm just worried that the project team won't be able to bear it. Now they're all working overtime. If there are new requirements."

"How much money do you have left?"

Ye Zhou directly interrupted Chen Hao's words.

"According to the budget, the money is still enough now, but the problem is that the follow-up testing session is the biggest spender. What do you want to do? Send it all as a bonus?"

".Am I so arrogant? Let's start with 2000 million, including engineers and ordinary workers. There are more than 10 people in the project team, with an average of [-] per person, which is enough for them to survive for another month."

".I'm convinced. You have the final say, anyway, you have the final decision-making power. You have to find a reason to send money, so just force it?"

Ye Zhou froze for a moment, then replied:
"Just hard hair!"
