Chapter 365: A New Model of Stainless Steel
Chapter 365 New Models of Stainless Steel
PS: Thank you for the four monthly passes of the decadent de middle finger of the book friend.
Li Bingcheng's meaning was actually quite clear, but he was not embarrassed to say it directly in front of Fang Mingyuan. Qinxi Calendering Equipment Factory, although it is also a large-scale state-owned enterprise in the domestic related industries, has been moved from the northeast to Haizhuang, although it is far away from the place where it may be damaged, but it also brings a lot of transportation inconvenience. More importantly, the current machinery and equipment of Qinxi Rolling Equipment Factory have been seriously outdated, and as far as he knows, in recent years, the income and expenditure of Qinxi Rolling Equipment Factory are also very unbalanced, otherwise, there will be no phenomenon of outsourcing the workshop.
What he was thinking, Fang Mingyuan naturally knew it, and on this shijie, I'm afraid no one understands better than him what the future of Qinxi Calendering Equipment Factory will look like. Of course, he would not tell Li Bingcheng that he had purchased a small steel mill in Japan, and that he would relocate the steel mill to China as soon as the state opened up for private capital to enter the steel industry. And at that time, the results of my father's "exercise" these days can play a certain role. If his father is competent, Fang Mingyuan does not mind handing over the management of the steel mill to his father, and continues to make additional investments, keeping up with the footsteps of Shijie Steel Industry, so that he can raise his eyebrows in the field he likes.
"How so?" Li Bingcheng still couldn't help but say, "Today's shijie is no longer in the era of pursuing steel production, now those foreign iron and steel enterprises, pay more attention to the production of special steel, if these domestic iron and steel enterprises are not aware of this, then in the future, our country's iron and steel enterprises are still in the steel industry, as the lowest supplier." It is even possible that people can buy our crude steel and process it slightly, and then sell it back to China at a price several times higher. So, I think the most important thing now is to master jishu. With a really good jishu, that is the right way to develop. ”
Li Bingcheng's words cannot be said to be all right, but they are also right for most of the future development of Shijie steel industry. Fang Mingyuan knows very well that in the near future, with the liberalization of the steel industry to private enterprises, and with the country's listing of the real estate industry as a pillar industry, China's steel output has doubled in almost a few years, and has doubled in a few years, and soon surpassed the United States, Japan, and Europe, becoming the largest steel-producing country on Shijie.
However, this first has a lot of water, that is, most of the steel produced in Huaxia can only be made of low-grade crude steel, but the special steel used to make automobiles, shipbuilding, and aircraft still needs to be imported to a large extent. And it is true that as Li Bingcheng said, there is a phenomenon that foreign countries purchase crude steel from China, return to China for processing, and then sell it back to China at the price of special steel.
And in order to produce these low-value crude steel, Huaxia has become the largest importer of iron ore in Shijie, and most of the profits generated by the steel industry every year are stripped away by iron ore producers, becoming a tool for foreign companies to absorb domestic profits, which is really sad.
Fang Mingyuan immediately became a little interested in Li Bingcheng, to be honest, in his previous life, Fang Mingyuan had never seen this Li Bingcheng, and for Xu Lin, he still had a few opportunities to meet. And in this life, because Fang Mingyuan's fate has changed, the opportunity to meet Xu Lin was inadvertently missed. But now it seems that Li Xinyu's father, this Li Bingcheng, is not simple, in the nineties, in China, people who can see this cannot be said to be no, but Fang Mingyuan believes that there are not many
"Bingcheng's family came to visit us, why did you discuss this with others again?" Xu Lin said lightly, "Mingyuan, your Uncle Li is like this, if you can't say three words to someone, you will turn to his business." I really lost you yesterday, otherwise, I really don't know what the result would be. Alas, it's really unexpected, this Qionghai will be like this"
"Aunt Xu, it doesn't matter, Uncle Li is very reasonable, these problems are indeed the shortcomings of China's steel industry. However, Uncle Li, you have found out the shortcomings, but how to solve them? Fang Mingyuan smiled and said to Xu Lin.
Li Bingcheng was stunned for a moment, he just said that he was just talking about this, so he said it in passing, he really didn't expect that Fang Mingyuan would be interested in continuing to listen, and asked him how to solve it.
"Resolved? Solve the ......" He looked at Fang Mingyuan, and then looked at the door of the ward, Chen Zhong immediately sat down at the door of the ward, so that if someone came, Chen Zhong would be able to see it as soon as possible.
"It's actually very simple, but it's also very difficult. That is, it is necessary to concentrate on liliang, invest huge amounts of R&D funds, and make a real breakthrough in special steel smelting, so that China's steelmaking jishu can narrow the gap with the average level of shijie, produce more special steel with high value and large profits, and produce less crude steel with low value and low availability. But under today's system, it is really difficult to do this," Li Bingcheng said.
In Huaxia, it is not the major iron and steel companies that are responsible for the task of improving the iron and steel smelting, but all the research institutes owned by the state, or the research institutes affiliated to the university, these places have long formed the habit of seniority, and the old people whose knowledge level has long been aging occupy the top level of leadership, and they are short-sighted, and they can no longer see the future changes of shijie. will only ask for funds from superiors, get them back, and spend all day and night, but they can't get any decent results at all.
And the younger generation who really follow in the footsteps of Shijie, but because they have no power and no money, they have no right to speak at all when applying for the project, and after applying for the project, they can't be the masters of the house, they can only watch as those old guys who should be put into the ground waste all these precious funds. As a result of this, there are currently many research institutes, and young people have been suspended from pay and left their jobs, and went to the sea to find their own future.
Moreover, in these research institutes, even if there are results, it is difficult to transform them into productivity in the factory in the first time, and by the time the leaders above remember, these results may have long been outdated. In Li Bingcheng's research institute, there was such a time, their institute made a breakthrough in stainless steel, but after this achievement was reported, no one cared about it, and until now, it is still lying in the database of the research institute.
"Stainless steel?" Fang Mingyuan interrupted Li Bingcheng in surprise. This was something he didn't expect in advance, Li Bingcheng's Institute of Metallurgy actually made a breakthrough in the refining of stainless steel, which was an unexpected surprise.
Stainless steel, refers to air, steam, water and other weak corrosive media and acid, alkali, salt and other chemical corrosive media corrosion of steel, because it will not corrode, pitting, rust or wear, so in the food industry, pharmaceutical industry and surgical equipment industry, construction industry, shipbuilding industry, automobile manufacturing, home appliances industry has a considerable scale of application. Two thousand years later, shijie production exceeded 20 million tons. And Fang Mingyuan knows that with the further development of science and technology, the demand for stainless steel in all walks of life will be increasing.
For example, Fang Mingyuan remembered that there was a type of stainless steel, which could be used as an ultra-high-strength material in the nuclear, aviation and aerospace industries because of its very high formability and good weldability.
Stainless steel, with the addition of certain elements, can obtain a special structure for corrosion, which will later be used in the manufacture of nuclear fuel recovery devices.
High-strength cutting edge steels, which contain slightly higher carbon content, are the hardest stainless steels, and the most common example of application is shaving blades
"Uncle Li, what are the characteristics of this stainless steel you have researched, and what industry is it suitable for?" Fang Mingyuan immediately asked.
"What are the characteristics? Well...... In short, it has a great improvement in the corrosiveness of salt. When we designed this type of stainless steel, we took into account that in the cold areas of the north, in order to prevent the freezing of roads and bridges in winter, sometimes salt is sprinkled, which will accelerate the corrosion of the steel bars used in these buildings, which will inevitably affect their normal service life. Therefore, if the steel bars made of this kind of stainless steel are used in the construction process, their service life can be maximized. Li Bingcheng thought about it for a while.
"Nowadays abroad, is there a similar jishu?" Fang Mingyuan was even more excited in his heart, there must be a market for this thing, like the Soviet Union, Canada, and even the United States, as well as the northern region of China, the demand for it will definitely not be low in the future.
"Yes, I remember last year, I saw an international paper, which was also about this part, as for the specific practicability, it is difficult to say. However, there should be no similar research results in China. Li Bingcheng was unsure. Although it has been a few years since the reform and opening up, he is located in the northwest region, and he is still a little closed to the latest changes in the international metallurgical jishu.
"Uncle Li, do you intend to transfer this jishu?" Fang Mingyuan asked.
"Transfer? Transferred to? Li Bingcheng said a little unturned. The results of their research are reviewed by the higher authorities, and if they find it valuable, they negotiate with the state-owned enterprises, and then directly hand them over to the state-owned enterprises that need them. Although the term jishu transfer is not a new word these days. But when it comes to the jishu of the treatment of gold, because the opening of private capital into the steel industry has not yet been opened, and a large amount of investment is needed to put this jishu into practice, so they have not thought about it at all, and they can transfer it.
Fang Mingyuan nodded to himself with his thumb and said, "I."
