Chapter 678: An Aluminum Alloy with a Hardness Comparable to Diamond!

Aluminum, this thing is too familiar to Li Fanyu. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

According to statistics, the content of aluminum in the earth's crust is about 8%, which is the most abundant element in addition to oxygen and silicon, and is also the most abundant metal element in the earth's crust.

The use of aluminium has precedents since the Stone Age, and many pottery excavated in prehistoric times was made of clay containing large amounts of aluminium compounds.

However, because the oxidation of aluminum compounds is very weak, aluminum is not easily reduced from the compounds, so it has not developed for a long time.

It was not until 1985 that the German chemist de Villeli used the nano substitution method to restore impure aluminum ingots, and this thing was taken seriously. However, at that time, because of the difficulty of refining, aluminum was worth about the same value as gold and silver, and was called "silver from clay".

It is said that Napoleon had a set of beloved cutlery, which was made of aluminum. I don't know if there was a saying of aluminum poisoning at that time, I eat with aluminum tableware every day, which is equivalent to how many fritters I eat?

However, the value of aluminum only lasted for 30 years, and at the end of the 19th century, after the American CM Hill extracted high-purity aluminum from ice crystal ore by electrolysis, this kind of thing that was originally enjoyed by the emperor finally took off the noble halo and entered the homes of ordinary people.

Up to now, aluminum alloys made of aluminum mixed with other elements have become an important material in industrial and civil fields. It is widely used in aviation, construction, electronics and automobiles.

It can be said that among all the current car companies in China, Zhengxin's kung fu of playing aluminum is simply superb.

Zhengxin's ZGX series engine body, as well as the body of A8, RS and Longbow, are made of a large number of high-strength 7050 aluminum alloys.

So seeing that the material laboratory unlocked was actually super aluminum, Li Fanyu was immediately interested, and directly clicked on the option and called up the introduction of this material.

"The Super Metal Series, the foundation of X Technology, can be combined with other super technologies to create parts or machinery that are far superior in performance and reliability to the current time and space.

Super aluminium metal, consisting of five major allowance alloys of aluminium in different strengths. After unlocking the material, the current beta user can directly produce from the Super Materials Lab in the form of points exchange, or can exchange additional points for the full production process.

Tip: If you don't add X to the Super Metal, the Super Metal produced with the current space-time technology will have the criteria reduced by 10%. The standards include: tensile strength, yield strength, modulus of elasticity, hardness, density. ”

Huh?!

After Li Fanyu saw this introduction, his eyes widened.

In other words, this so-called X-tech base material can be produced by itself?

Damn! Xapp you've grown!

When the super memory alloy appeared, Li Fanyu thought of making a fortune with this kind of thing. But one is because of my limited time, I can't keep an eye on the materials laboratory for production.

The second is also because this thing is too evil, and rashly spreading this thing that can't be explained will make your black technology suspicious. So even if the market demand was so large at the beginning, he did not continue to expand the business of memory alloys.

But if you can exchange the craft and produce it yourself. So...... Engine, body, wheels...... Aircraft fuselage, landing gear, aero engine blades...... The market is huge!

In the face of such an awesome thing, what else can Li Fanyu say?

I can only press the surging heart and shout to hold the grass!

Thinking of this, he quickly opened the options and entered the panel of X Super Aluminum.

Sure enough, as the introduction said, after opening the panel, five sub-categories of aluminum alloys were presented in front of Li Fanyu.

opened it in turn, Li Fanyu's heart was beating wildly!

Throwing away any data such as tensile strength, yield strength, elastic modulus, density, etc., just seeing the hardness of No. 1 to No. 5 X super aluminum alloy, he felt that he was going to make a fortune.

The mechanical properties of the five sub-categories of aluminium alloys are enhanced as the number increases. No. 1 X aluminum alloy has the lowest hardness with a coefficient of 8 on the Mohs scale.

But even after seeing this worst hardness, Li Fanyu, who had seen a large number of gales, couldn't help but be stunned!

What is the concept of 8 on the Mohs scale?

Let's put it this way, the Mohs hardness of iron is only 4-5 depending on the smelting process. The hardness of high-quality stainless steel is only 6, and the hardest material diamond currently existing in nature is only 10 on the Mohs scale!

Seeing this most basic No. 1 X aluminum alloy, Li Fanyu covered his beating heart and directly opened the last sub-category-No. 5 X aluminum alloy.

When he saw the Mohs hardness of 12, Li Fanyu's mouth couldn't be closed.

"Lao Tzu is rich!"

Aluminum alloy beyond diamond hardness, dare you think?!

Even if it is not produced directly from the super material laboratory, it is not mixed with the mysterious element X, but it is produced by the exchange process. If you lose 10 percent of the mechanical properties, the hardness of No. 5 X aluminum alloy will reach a terrifying 10.8!β€”this is still higher than the hardness of diamond!

What does this performance mean?

The simplest example: an airplane!

The fuselage of the aircraft needs to be made of a large number of aluminum-magnesium alloys or even aluminum-titanium alloys to form the fuselage skeleton with mechanical structures.

However, when the aircraft is flying or maneuvering at high speed, the force generated by the air on the fuselage is too large, so a large amount of high-strength aluminum alloy is needed to make the fuselage.

But in this way, the weight of the fuselage is increased.

But what about the stronger X aluminum alloy?

Regardless of the variable dynamic structure, ordinary aluminum alloy parts that need to be manufactured with a width of ten centimeters can be done with two or three centimeters for X aluminum alloy!

What does this mean?

Lose weight! Fuel consumption is reduced!

The same can be said for cars.

The simplest example is a front-engined model. If the engine is made of X aluminum alloy, it can greatly reduce the weight and volume without affecting the performance, then it will be of great benefit to the front and rear weight ratio of the car!

From another point of view, instead of engaging in these high-tech things, this material is applied to the most common electronic devices in people's lives, such as mobile phones.

What if this material is used to make a mobile phone case?

You know, external forces are not taken into account. The main culprit of scratches on mobile phones is the fine sand in your pocket! What is the main ingredient of these sand stones?

Silica!

The average Mohs hardness of silica is 7, which is completely a slag compared to No. 5 X aluminum alloy!

If I could use this thing to make a phone case, my mother would never have to buy a phone case for me again!

Of course, such a tall material is definitely overkill for a mobile phone.

Just when Li Fanyu was almost dancing with excitement, there was another bang in his head.

Xapp's cold, mechanical voice rang out again;

"Tip: The current user has been detected to have raised all X application levels to the highest level that can be upgraded, and the upgrade pre-task is completed. ”

"Hint: Xapp has been upgraded and is currently level 7. ”

"Tip: Design specialization [Elementary] has been unlocked, please check it in the system space for the current test user. ”

"Hint: You have a chance to draw a lottery, do you want to do it right away?"

Li Fan was stupid: huh?

What the hell!?
