Chapter 970: Huaxia Ceramics ......?

The tall and thin man at the head saw Su Huai appear, and immediately came over: "Teacher, you are here~"

"Let me introduce to you, this is Cheng Researcher in charge of product manufacturing in Zhonghua Company, and he is also one of my disciples in Sumen. Guo Wei, as a disciple of Sumen, introduced the identity of the person who came.

Among the disciples absorbed by Sumen, there are some technology-related talents, Guo Wei screened out some of the best manufacturing talents, responsible for the production of traditional handicrafts of the Chinese company, among which Xiao Cheng is the most top-notch, and he is in charge of the technical team.

Dean Ji and Mr. Qian both just nodded, only Dr. Hua came over and shook hands with Xiao Cheng, and Xiao Cheng's voice trembled with excitement:

Dr. Hua...... It was a pleasure to meet you, I took your course at Polytechnic......"

During the greetings, Dean Ji said impatiently: "Mr. Su, can you start the production of your new materials? "Don't waste your time.

Su Huai waited for his words, nodded to Xiao Cheng, and Xiao Cheng and the other technicians entered the laboratory happily.

Looking at the huge electric kiln and the most advanced tube mill, everyone is full of joy, these supporting equipment are not to mention their Chinese company, even the Chinese Academy of Sciences does not have such a model.

"Professor Su, is this new material you are talking about not a metal, but an organic substance?" Professor Yao was the first to ask.

Su Huai explained: "Strictly speaking, this material is neither a metal nor an organic solid, and the name sounds a bit awkward, so I call his scientific name 'non-metallic inorganic solid material'......"

All the professors were dumbfounded, Su Huai even invented a new material term? This is simply too arrogant...... You know, this kind of academically defining term is usually only qualified by recognized grandmasters in the technology industry.

As a literati, Su Huai was delusional and carried out the definition of a material name...... It's just ridiculous.

At this time, the researchers of Zhonghua Company had already begun to pour various raw materials into the alkali mixing tank.

Everyone didn't know what Su Huai wanted to do, but they saw Su Huai staring at the alkali tank carefully, and repeatedly confirmed: "It's all leveled, right?" After getting Xiao Cheng's reply, he wiped the sweat from his forehead with a relieved expression.

Director Ji and Qian Lao were originally a little absent-minded, but when they saw the materials they used, they couldn't help but show surprised expressions, and at the same time went over to look at the list of raw materials.

"The main components of this new material are clay, feldspar, quartz...... The chemical composition is Mgo·sio2......"

Seeing that the material was grinding in the tube mill, "humming" for grinding, Qian Lao frowned slightly and said, "Professor Su, is this new material a type of glass?"

As soon as she said this, even Mrs. Carla muttered in her heart, this heat-resistant material must at least have high strength and can withstand high temperatures, but the glass is brittle and cannot withstand temperature.

"Similar, but different. Su Huai shook his head and said, although the traditional ceramics are more resistant to high temperature than ordinary glass and have good thermal insulation, but the strength is very poor, but on this basis, the industrial ceramics are different, and the strength of fine ceramics is much higher than that of ordinary ceramics can be made through precise different raw materials.

At this time, everyone's curiosity was aroused, and they all came to watch the production process of this new material, just to see Su Huai's team, after simple granulation and molding, they made some items of various shapes, including a small bowl the size of a palm.

This surprised everyone, but Qian Lao suddenly realized, turned his head to look at Su Huai and asked:

"Mr. Su, is this the ceramics in our traditional Chinese crafts?"

Ceramics!?

It turned out to be the ceramics in the Ming Tomb?

Many experts in Russia also showed surprised expressions when they heard this term, they didn't expect that the new material Su Huai said was such an ancient thing.

Dean Ji frowned and said, "Isn't ceramic used for tableware, the strength is very low, and the specific gravity of mass is also very high......

"Well, it's ceramic, but it's not the most traditional ceramic, it's my improved fine ceramic, you can see the difference. Su Huai said about the process of Xiao Cheng's transformation, and explained:

"Traditionally, the finished product ...... is directly sintered with adobe."

"What's the difference between this and pottery from other countries?" asked a Russian expert, curious.

"The difference lies in two, first of all, the ratio of raw materials. Su Huai explained:

"Pottery is made of clay, while porcelain is made of quartz, kaolin mixture, followed by the two sintering temperatures are also different, pottery is sintered with 800 to 1000 degrees, while porcelain is generally above 1200 degrees ......"

"Can you start sintering?" asked Xiao Cheng with some eagerness.

"That's it. Su Huai nodded.

The large electric kiln in the laboratory was put into operation, which was originally used to make some high-tech plastic materials and some organic resin materials, which was the first time to make such a special material as ceramics.

The electric kiln started, the kiln temperature increased little by little, and Xiao Cheng also introduced to the experts present with great interest:

"Now this sintering process, we control it at 1312 degrees, which will reduce the surface area of the billet, reduce the porosity, and increase the mechanical properties......"

Hearing this temperature, Dean Ji and Qian Lao both showed thoughtful expressions, and the melting point of the metal beryllium was 1278 degrees...... This ceramic can be sintered at a temperature of 1312 degrees, which means that it is highly heat-resistant.

"At such a high temperature, the material is insoluble, and the strength of this ceramic should not be low...... Professor Yao said happily.

"Will it explode?" a Russian expert asked, pouring cold water, and everyone looked at Su Huai, but Su Huai said: "In order to save time, I recommend using hot pressing sintering." ”

Everyone gasped, we were still worried about whether your ceramics would burst, and you still had to put pressure on you?

Su Huai is not to deliberately show off his skills, but to pressurize the finished product to make the precision ceramics of the finished product have low porosity and high density.

Xiao Cheng was a little flustered and said: "I haven't calculated this data, so I can't just add pressure." ”

At this time, Dr. Hua took the initiative to ask, "I'll come." ”

Su Huai knew that Dr. Hua was the leader of Huaxia Industrial Materials, and he also nodded, Dr. Hua looked at the data on the instrument, looked at Su Huai with some surprise, and asked:

"You added additional ingredients?"

Su Huai nodded and said, "Yes, in addition to SiO2 and MgO, add some CaO, BaO......"

Su Huai said 7 or 8 chemical elements, and everyone present was terrified when they listened, if the traditional ceramic craft Su Huai knew it through ancient materials, it was understandable, but adding new materials was a very risky thing.

And Su Huai joined not just one or two, but seven or eight...... It's not just about knowledge and experience, it's about experimenting with countless things...... It takes years to gain experience.

Could it be that Zhonghua Company, a Chinese enterprise, has such a strong scientific research strength?

Su Huai's eyes have been listening closely to the thermometer of the electric kiln, constantly adjusting the power in the electric kiln to ensure that the temperature and pressure in the kiln reach the correct value.

When he was in school, in order to tell them about the various applications of ancient Chinese ceramics after modern industrialization, the professor specially took them to a national heavy industry enterprise that made Shenzhou spacecraft accessories to study.

At that time, this course made him, a liberal arts student, feel very boring, but in order to pass the exam, he could only memorize these data by rote, and he never expected that he would use these today.

The sintering process lasted for one hour, and everyone was curious about what could be made from this so-called ceramic.

Finally, Su Huai's eyes lit up, and he issued a warning to everyone: "Okay, everyone stay back and prepare the sinter." ”
