Chapter 1425 Alloy for Steel

Yang Xiaotao had a headache when he thought about the next research on semi-automatic machine tools.

Gein himself didn't know the materials required for many of the components.

In other words, even if it is found domestically, it cannot be self-produced and it will be difficult to produce it on a large scale in the future.

Just like the original Daystar, it was very difficult to find some tungsten alloy at the beginning. Later, the problem of smelting tungsten alloy was solved, and now Daystar has begun to slowly promote it.

Even because of the emergence of aluminum alloys and tungsten alloys, the number of domestic machine tools has increased significantly. In this way, the domestic machinery industry has ushered in a development climax.

Therefore, the quality of materials is crucial to the research of machine tools.

Yang Xiaotao has seen the machine tool design drawings made by the R&D department. It can be said that this design only follows the model of semi-automatic lathes and milling machines. He has never thought that the semi-automation of this kind of mother machine is a completely different path.

Yang Xiaotao also warned Chen Bin and others, but now it seems that they are still hitting the south wall on this road.

In addition to the wrong design ideas, more importantly, the materials used are not standardized.

Among the materials provided by steel plants, aluminum alloys and even tungsten-copper alloys are the best.

As a result, it never occurred to them that materials with other properties were needed.

As a result, tungsten copper alloy and aluminum alloy are used in important places. As a result, the machine tools produced lack sufficient toughness, and the accuracy requirements are naturally difficult to meet.

Now, Yang Xiaotao has a complete set of drawings of the machine tool obtained from Alphard, and the design will not be a problem.

But the materials needed were something Yang Xiaotao couldn't solve.

"Mr. Yang? Mr. Yang?"

Yang Xiaotao was still thinking about the materials. Lou Xiao'e saw that he was lost in thought. After waiting for a while, there was still no response, so she couldn't help but speak.

"Ah, what's wrong?"

"that!"

Lou Xiao'e suddenly smiled, "I have something to do this afternoon!"

"Ask for leave?"

"Uh-huh!"

"Okay, just in the afternoon!"

"yeah!"

Lou Xiao'e almost jumped up with joy, then returned to the table and continued to organize documents.

Yang Xiaotao took out a piece of paper and wrote out the transcribed analysis data from the space.

Looking at the three sets of data on the paper, they should represent three alloys.

Yang Xiaotao doesn't know if these alloys have been made in China, but given the fact that China doesn't even understand aluminum alloys, it is estimated that these three alloys will be difficult.

In addition to these three alloys, Yang Xiaotao also has tinplate production skills acquired from the system.

This alloy is equally important to the country and will be of great use in the future.

In other words, there are now three alloys that need to be researched on their proportions. If they are the best in the country, but if not, then they have to conduct process research and produce them themselves.

This is no simple matter.

As for tinplate, this can be left to Lao Dao and let the research institute study it.

After all, the institute's alloy research has hit a bottleneck during this period, and leaving this to the veterans can also give this group of people something to do.

In addition, after the research is completed, it will be of great help to all walks of life.

That is, this kind of production takes up too much resources of the steel plant.

If more alloys are produced, the amount of steel produced will decrease.

He often heard Yang Youning talk about the lack of steel in the machinery factory.

"We have to find a way!"

Yang Xiaotao kept turning the pencil in his hand, thinking for a moment, and then came up with an idea.

……

Two days later.

Yang Xiaotao came to the steel plant to check the situation.

This is also the first time Yang Xiaotao has come to the steel factory in person after returning from abroad.

In the past, Lou Xiaoe would always call to inquire about the situation, so when she heard that Yang Xiaotao was coming this time, she immediately became energetic. Not only was she greeted at the gate, but many people from the steel plant and research institute came.

When Yang Xiaotao came to the steel plant and saw this situation, he didn't say much. He just visited the steel plant under the leadership of Guan Zhiyong to learn about the recent production conditions.

In the conference room.

Yang Xiaotao sat at the top, and Guan Zhiyong and An Zhongsheng led the leadership teams of the steel plant and the research institute respectively.

"Mr. Yang, except for the special-purpose open-hearth furnaces, all other large boilers in the steel plant have been converted into converters."

“Production has tripled from last year!”

After Guan Zhiyong finished talking about the recent development of the steel plant, there was not much joy on his face.

Because he knows Yang Xiaotao, even if they don't tell them about his achievements, Mr. Yang will remember them and they will not be missing at all.

Just like before, when their steel factory was losing money, they still enjoyed the benefits of the machinery factory.

Now it has become a leader in the steel industry.

Especially after the research on alloys, there were only a few steel plants in the country that produced alloys.

If their steel plant wasn't just a branch of the Machinery Factory, it would have been on par with those key steel plants.

But if you think about it this way, if a branch factory can compare with a famous big factory, then how strong is the machinery factory?

It is the existence of this idea that gives steel plant workers an extra layer of pride.

Yang Xiaotao nodded, then took the document handed over by Lou Xiao'e behind him and spoke solemnly.

"I have seen the information you submitted."

Guan Zhiyong and others all looked nervous. There was nothing else to explain in detail. If the current usage of the machinery factory is used, the steel plant will not be able to meet the demand in less than two months, which will become a stumbling block restricting the development of the machinery factory. .

Several people looked at Yang Xiaotao and saw that Yang Xiaotao's face was calm.

"An Gong, how is the alloy production situation at your place?"

When An Zhongsheng heard the question, he immediately spoke.

"Mr. Yang, based on the current investment, the steel plant's output of tungsten-copper alloy and aluminum alloy will increase by 5% per month."

“However, due to the increasing demand from various industries, the tasks for alloy production are still increasing during this period.”

"Production is still very tight."

After An Zhongsheng finished speaking, he thought of something again, "Mr. Yang, among these, the consumption within our machinery factory is the largest."

Yang Xiaotao nodded to express his understanding. After all, the number of air conditioners produced by machinery factories is increasing day by day, and now important domestic enterprises and institutions have installed air conditioners. The textile factory is even more wealthy. Each workshop is equipped with air conditioning to replace the previous diesel engine-fan, which makes the entire Forty-Nine City envious.

Yang Youning heard that Duba Jizui was indeed the place with the most women in Sijiu City, and the money it should be spent on was unambiguous.

What's more important is that the leaders above don't dare not approve it, otherwise they will just wait at night.

Yang Xiaotao recovered his thoughts and then raised the question.

"Now that everyone knows it, that's what I'm here for this time."

"I can assure you that the demand for steel in machinery plants in the future will be several times that of today. I am not exaggerating, but in the future, we need to do a lot."

"Each of the projects planned to be launched is the focus of the machinery factory, and each of them is also a giant beast that eats steel."

"If steel plants can't keep up with demand, we're going to miss out on a lot."

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Guan Zhiyong and others looked at each other with pressure and motivation in their eyes.

Machinery factories are getting better and better, and they can follow the rising tide.

As for whether it can be done, they have not considered it.

Mr. Yang said it, so it must be right.

"Mr. Yang, we have also discussed this."

"If you want to increase production, there are two ways."

Guan Zhiyong has obviously done his homework, but in fact, if he is not smart and prepared in advance when working under Yang Xiaotao, his impression score with Yang Xiaotao can easily be reduced.

"Say it!"

Yang Xiaotao picked up the enamel jar and drank tea. Guan Zhiyong nodded and took out the prepared plan from the above folder without any stage fright.

"Mr. Yang, the first one is to expand the scale. We plan to build two 100-ton converters from this year to next year, which will at least double the output!"

Seeing Yang Xiaotao nodding after hearing this, Guan Zhiyong felt relieved. After all, this was the most direct way to increase production capacity.

Just a few words to expand the scale is not enough. It not only needs to be reported to the superiors, but also needs to be approved by the superiors before construction can begin.

In addition, the factory's land area, human resources, engineering construction, etc. are all troublesome.

But as long as Yang Xiaotao agrees, the machinery factory will be passed, and things above will be easy.

“The second one is to shorten the processing process.”

Yang Xiaotao raised his head and became interested, "Tell me more specifically."

"Yes!"

Guan Zhiyong then explained the method that the steel manufacturer had prepared.

Yang Xiaotao suddenly realized that the so-called shortening of the processing process actually means handing over the iron ore smelting process in the early stage of steelmaking to other steelmaking plants.

Of course, these are all small local factories, and they are asked to process on behalf of them, extracting the rough embryos and then transporting them to the steelmaking plant. What needs to be processed is processed, and what needs to be made into alloys is made into alloys.

"In this way, my overall efficiency can be increased by about 20%."

An Zhongsheng also added that this plan was the result of their discussions.

"Mr. Yang, we have contacted steel plants in several other places, and they have no objections to this."

Guan Zhiyong looked at Yang Xiaotao and said seriously.

Yang Xiaotao, however, drank tea from the enamel jar and was not in a hurry to express his position.

When it comes to local matters, it’s not enough to simply talk about it.

"How do you cooperate?"

After listening to this, Guan Zhiyong looked at An Zhongsheng, what other ways would this cooperation be divided into?
Wouldn't it be enough to just give them some tasks and have them send them over?

Both of them thought so and didn't know what to say for a while.

Yang Xiaotao put down his cup, "First of all, the local steel plants are not our subordinates. Cooperating with us is a matter of friendship, not a duty."

"Now that you can cooperate with us, you can refuse to cooperate when something happens."

The two looked at each other without thinking about it.

"Also, we can ask superiors to assign tasks to them, but the completion of tasks is flexible. The local steel plants themselves have to undertake local construction tasks. This needs to be negotiated with the local government."

Guan Zhiyong was a little restless and didn't take these problems seriously, but now that he thought about it, they were more in contact with the steel factory and forgot about local matters.

"This matter is essentially feasible, but we must think more about the issues involved and consider all aspects."

Guan Zhiyong nodded.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao stopped worrying about this issue, "I agree with your two solutions."

Everyone smiled after hearing this.

"However, I have another idea here."

Everyone looked at Yang Xiaotao again.

“I looked at the production of alloys and steel.”

"The more alloys are produced, the more they take up the share of steel. There is an interaction between the two."

"So, starting from today, alloy production will be appropriately increased."

Guan Zhiyong and An Zhongsheng looked at each other, somewhat confused.

Then Yang Xiaotao explained again, "The excess produced alloy does not participate in the allocated share. It is the internal resource of our steel plant."

"These alloys will be exchanged for steel."

"Alloy for steel?"

Guan Zhiyong shouted out immediately, and Yang Xiaotao nodded slightly.

An Zhongsheng's eyes lit up. The production of this alloy is not easy, and the output is much more difficult than steel.

It can be said that the time and material resources required to produce a boiler of tungsten-copper alloy can completely produce three times the steel, and even four or five times the production can be done properly!
Everyone present thought of something, and looked at Yang Xiaotao with more admiration.

Only Yang Xiaotao dared to say this kind of thing, otherwise if they brought it up, several big guys from the 3rd Machinery Department and 7th Machinery Department would come and kill him in minutes.

Even the boss of the First Machinery Department will have opinions.

But this was proposed by Mr. Yang, so that’s different!

"Mr. Yang, I think it's okay."

"We can calculate the production status of the alloy based on the current steel production demand, and then mark the exchange standards to meet the shortfall..."

An Zhongsheng began to calculate the price in his mind, and Guan Zhiyong had the same expression.

"You can make up your own mind about this matter, but one thing is that the share of alloy given to each department before today cannot be less."

"And those who exchange for steel can be given priority."

"understand!"
