Chapter 1289 Alloy
"Also, in addition to the high-temperature alloys of parts, I have seen the progress of your project. The development progress of powder alloy components and spare parts for maintenance and modification is still relatively slow. You need to pay attention to this.
After all, all equipment in aerospace projects requires excellent materials to cooperate with maintenance and extend the service life.
American P&W Company first pioneered the use of powder high-temperature alloy discs for aircraft engines, while our Daxia's research on powder high-temperature alloys started relatively late, but it caught up quickly, and even developed the highest strength powder high-temperature alloy FGH95, which has a maximum operating temperature of 650℃. According to our design environment, the maximum operating temperature of powder high-temperature alloys should be close to 900℃."
Listening to Gu Qing's "nagging", Sun Ke skillfully took out the curling panel he carried with him, and a tablet appeared in his hand with a flick of his hand.
While recording, he quickly recorded text. When he encountered reminders of some important projects, he had to turn over the project plan and draw emphasis symbols. At the same time, he had to keep up with Gu Qing's ideas and give feedback at all times.
The salary of Jiuzhou Technology R&D personnel is high, but the pressure is really great.
Those ordinary PhDs who join the project team often need to drink Taoyao and work hard for a period of time before they can adapt to this high-intensity work.
So outside netizens complain about Jiuzhou Technology's scientific research and technology all day long, but the technical personnel in Jiuzhou Technology's R&D position don't respond much.
Every day, they are so busy looking at data, adjusting processes, and sorting materials. Who has time to go to social media?
When Sun Ke once again learned about Gu Qing's attention to the materials of each component, his eyes became much calmer and deeper.
The requirements put forward by General Manager Gu are not the material requirements for ordinary aerospace equipment. Some extreme conditions are even set higher than the requirements of some military projects he has participated in.
Most of the main maintenance projects of aircraft engines are to replace hot end components made of high-temperature alloys and other materials.
When he was working in a certain aircraft manufacturing group, Sun Ke learned that the major forces on Blue Star now attach great importance to spacecraft, and even the inspection and maintenance of space shuttles and fighter jets are very expensive.
For example, the performance recovery of major components: damage to components caused by high temperature, corrosion and fatigue will eventually cause the performance of the core engine to decline.
There is also engine performance restoration, disassembly of the core engine, inspection of the condition of air path components such as blades and turbines, and necessary repairs and replacements.
As well as the drums, wheels, bearings and other consumable parts with fixed lifespans of compressors and turbine discs, once they reach their lifespans, they need to be replaced regardless of their condition.
With so many requirements, thinking of the design drawings of the seemingly entertaining fighter jets produced by the design department and the old test aircraft that he had seen several times in the wind tunnel, Sun Ke guessed that his company was probably working on fighter jets.
After all, no matter how the major forces on Blue Star boast about the new generation of fighter jets and the next generation of future fighter jets, in fact, every performance innovation and upgrade of fighter jets is derived from the innovation and upgrade of materials.
Without sufficiently excellent high-temperature alloys, the core materials of the first-generation turbojet engine would not be able to keep the turbojet engine running. After all, Blue Star did not have alloys that could keep working in an environment of 650°C at that time. Even in the fourth-generation turbofan engine, the core material of the engine can reach an astonishing operating temperature of 1200°C. At the same time, it was also the high-temperature alloy upgrade to the single-crystal high-temperature alloy technology that completed the landing of the fourth-generation turbofan engine.
At present, Jiuzhou Technology has the Titanium Star Department working on materials, and at the same time, the major material project research laboratories led by Sun Ke and others are cooperating with Titanium Star's major projects to tackle material problems.
Because of the excellent scientists and engineers at home and abroad, as well as the company's internal resource allocation, Jiuzhou Technology has developed and manufactured deformation, casting, equiaxed crystals, directional solidification columnar crystals and single crystal alloys in the field of high-temperature alloys in just a few years, and some materials have reached the international first-class level.
It is precisely because of the progress of these materials that the aerospace department of Jiuzhou Technology can send Ergou to the sky so confidently and arrange manned space flight in a hurry.
In fact, the aerospace department once thought about reducing some resource input as much as possible in the early stage. These alloy materials can be used domestically if they can be made domestically, and they can be frugal if they can reduce "extravagance and waste", because the input and output of material research and development projects are not proportional. Often, materials that cost hundreds of millions can be bought with ready-made materials that are sufficient for use for millions.
However, in the high-temperature alloy purchase channels currently open to Jiuzhou Technology in Daxia, these alloys still have many problems that engineers do not want to see.
Many metallurgical defects, poor uniformity of organization, high content of impurity elements and other problems directly lead to low strength and service life of materials, making some aerospace equipment developed by the aerospace department in the early stage directly change from the high-end diagrams and plans to the real objects.
While Gu Qing was instructing each project, he was also looking at some information provided by Xuanwu and Sun Ke at the same time.
When he saw that partners such as Daxia Shunfu Special Steel, Gangyan Nagao, and Western Superconducting had already implemented capacity expansion and research base projects, and these cooperative enterprises also cooperated very well to start implementing new process manufacturing while developing and updating process materials, he felt that he, a top single warrior, had been under pressure for several years, and finally saw the hope that other roads would develop and be able to fight in groups.
Even Xuanwu quoted some comments from the media: The concentrated expansion of high-temperature alloy enterprises fully demonstrates the booming industry, but it also reflects from the side that the current international environment is unstable, the shadow of war is gradually affecting the enterprise side, and wartime may be coming soon.
When seeing this comment, Gu Qing neither despised nor ignored it. Because after reading the document, he knew clearly that wartime was indeed not far away.
When the founder of Jiuzhou Technology, Gu, finished his "suggestions", Sun Ke had recorded a 40-minute audio file, and the page number of the file on the tablet had reached 29 pages, which was enough to show its "rich content".
Even if there are professors from ordinary universities who can understand the content recorded on Sun Ke's tablet, I am afraid they will say that all future papers have a place to go!
After Sun Ke finished recording the content, he was also reviewing what he had just recorded, and he sighed in his heart: "If these projects are all successful, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry may not need to worry about screening and review issues in more than ten years, and can directly select people from the company's project department."
When Gu Qing saw that the person in charge stopped writing, he asked slowly: "Did you remember it clearly?"
