Chapter 153 Nickel-based titanium, rhenium, niobium, hafnium alloy
Speaking of which, in the end, it is still implemented on the funds, and the head of the headquarters is called a helpless, and he said that you Zhuang Jianye, the CEO of a dignified large enterprise, can't be reserved?
Zhuang Jianye wanted to be reserved, but the problem was that he couldn't control it at all.
Not to mention anything else, just say that it is used for the third-generation core alloy X single crystal turbine blades, which began pre-research eight years ago, and now I can't remember how much Zhuang Jianye has invested so much, anyway, the project team asked for money Zhuang Jianye to give, and one is to open the supply.
Even when the project team said that a rare metal called rhenium was needed, Zhuang Jianye used the TRJ-500 regional airliner to directly knock on the mining and operation rights of six pits in the Almarek copper mining area of Uzbekistan.
Because of this, not only does Uzbekistan's 15 TRJ-500 regional airliners not pay a penny for Ascendas Group, but also a few years of maintenance and repair of large factories are also free of charge, and on this basis, coupled with the continuous operation of Ascendas Group up and down in Uzbekistan, Tengfei Group has become the largest foreign-funded mining contractor in the Almarek copper mining area.
There are 12 large-scale mines directly controlled, and as many as 42 mines are indirectly held.
Not only that, thanks to the decline in the technical level of hardware equipment in the field of civil aviation caused by the economic difficulties in Central Asia after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Ascendas Group relied on Embraer's reputation for the ERJ-140 series of regional airliners in the international market.
After a series of operations by Zhuang Jianye, ERJβ The 140 series regional airliner as a stepping stone, with a variety of preferential sales and service policies as a match, combined with huge concessions and rebates, soon won the civil aviation market of Tajikistan and Kazakhstan, and on this basis quickly invested in the mining investment of the two countries, through complex equity transfer, Tengfei Group in Tajikistan respectively obtained the mining and operation rights of the largest molybdenum mine in Central Asia, and at the same time also obtained the ownership of the country's second largest copper mine in Kazakhstan.
Whether it is Uzbekistan, Tajikistan or Kazakhstan, Tengfei Group has only one purpose in laying out the mineral resources of these three countries, that is, the minerals mastered are accompanied by an extremely rare special metal - rhenium!
Based on this, Tengfei Group does not dare to say that it is the largest mining tycoon in Central Asia, but it is definitely the largest rhenium ore holder in the region, because through various concessions and mergers and acquisitions, Tengfei Group has mastered 60% of Rhenium ore in Uzbekistan, 85% of all rhenium mines in Tajikistan and 37% of associated rhenium ore in Kazakhstan.
Combined, the three parties will provide more than 1.2 tons of rhenium metal to Tengfei Group every year.
Don't underestimate this 1.2 tons of rhenium, the world's rhenium reserves are only 2,500 tons, and 1.2 tons of rhenium metal is already a large resource.
There's no way, sometimes scientific research, especially applied scientific research, is actually no different from playing games, that is, constantly launching attacks on the boss again and again, even if the team is wiped out again and again, the equipment is exploded again and again, and the experience bar is beaten back to the original point again and again, and you can only grit your teeth and carry it down, constantly entering resources, because beyond this BOSS, whether it is equipment, experience, dungeons or even the new map in the next stage, others can't catch up.
But the crux of the matter is to keep the old blood on.
The same is true for the research of alloy X, Tengfei Group has invested heavily in extracting 1.2 tons of rhenium metal from nearly 10,000 tons of ore dug out of three countries and nearly 100 pits every year, and sent it to the Aviation Development Research Center of Tengfei Group, which has been used in less than a year.
You must know that the value of each gram of rhenium metal is equivalent to 10 times that of gold, 1.2 tons of rhenium is equivalent to 12 tons of gold, and 12 tons of gold are smashed into it every year, and it is not a year, but it has been smashed continuously for nearly four years, so as to win the half-tube blood of the super boss of nickel-based rhenium alloy single crystal turbine blades.
Yes, this is not all, but the Long March is half gone, because the addition of rhenium only solves the problem of high temperature resistance and high strength of turbine blades, but the rhenium content in the turbine blades of the entire third-generation core machine is only 2.4%, which is not a large proportion.
As for the oxidation of nickel-based alloys at high temperatures, there is no way to solve the further high temperature resistance of single metals.
It's not that Tengfei Group doesn't want to increase the amount of rhenium, the problem is that this metal is too scarce, too expensive, and there are not many domestic reserves.
Therefore, how to strike a balance between product quality and benefit cost is what Tengfei Group will do next.
Fortunately, Tengfei Group still has a certain accumulation in this area, so it added niobium to the nickel-based rhenium alloy to offset the oxidation reaction caused by high temperature, and incorporated a small amount of hafnium to further improve the normal use of the alloy at a high temperature of about 1300 degrees Celsius.
Finally, titanium is added, and under the condition of a certain strength, the mass density of the alloy is reduced, making the turbine blades more light and durable.
At this time, Tengfei Group's new nickel-based titanium-rhenium-niobium-hafnium alloy was born, but it is really inconvenient to call it nickel-based titanium-rhenium-niobium-hafnium alloy.
Therefore, Tengfei Group's leader in the aviation industry, the accordion master, the title expert, Jianye, NB, Zhuang gave full play to his traditional artistic ability, and directly simplified the academic name into an equation symbol - alloy X!
Not only mysterious, but also tall and most importantly eye-catching.
If anyone asks, what are the turbine blades of your Ascendas Group made of?
Of course, even if you don't use Alloy X, but say the full name, and even tell the other party the composition ratio, the other party is more confused than listening to Alloy X, and even more painful.
Because even if they get the ratio, they can't do it, because the smelting and addition of the entire alloy is not simply added according to the ratio, but requires complex heat treatment, vapor deposition, powder metal smelting and other processes to achieve, according to the ratio of the process of adding one by one only exists with fairy tales.
After all, dozens of tons of gold every year are not smashed in vain.
If not, why are Americans so confident in disclosing the proportions of all superalloys?
It's to tell you clearly, even if I make it public, you can't do it, so you don't have to work hard, quickly kneel down and call Dad, Dad will give you a warm hug!
Zhuang Jianye is not as changed as the Americans~~~ state, but he needs the head of the headquarters, the gold owner's father, to return to his blood, dozens of tons of gold, or every year, who can bear it.
So seeing the unmoved appearance of the head of the headquarters, Zhuang Jianye gritted his teeth, tore his shirt with a ruthless heart, and then said with tears in his eyes: "Chief, look at it, I have no money to buy new clothes, I can only wear torn clothes to see you, you can do well, approve some funds, otherwise you really can't open the pot~~~"
Seeing this, the old face of the head of the headquarters was no longer jumping wildly, but began to twitch uncontrollably......
