Chapter 244: You Go to the United States
The Beihang Materials Research Institute within the aviation manufacturing industry is the main force in the development of high-temperature turbine materials for engines, including the directional solidification alloy used in the newly developed turbofan 10 at the base, which is also the result of the Beihang Materials Institute.
Therefore, it is most appropriate to cooperate with the Institute of Materials of Beihang University now, because in 85 years, the Institute of Materials of Beihang University has already achieved the results of single crystal materials: DD3 single crystal.
Even in 85 years, the Beihang Institute of Materials and the United States Pratt & Whitney Company were in a heated fight, and Pratt & Whitney Investment was conducting a systematic analysis of DD3 single crystal. Americans have never been powerless and can't afford to be early, DD3 doesn't have something special, Pratt & Whitney may take out the money in a daze?
Knocking on the table, Director Bai told what he knew about the Beihang Materials Institute, whether he joined the Beihang war group or not, it depended on the consideration of everyone at the decision-making level of the base.
"First of all, let's talk about the Beihang Institute of Materials, the units in the aviation system, everyone must be familiar with it, and it can't be more familiar. Especially the last time I went to their unit, I heard that they were preparing to cooperate with Pratt & Whitney to further study their DD3 monocrystalline, and I can say that DD3 monocrystalline must be somewhat unique. ”
What, the Americans are cooperating with Beihang Materials, so does this mean that this DD3 is very promising, if this is the case, then the cooperation unit of the single crystal alloy seems to be decided.
Besides, the Beihang Materials Institute is originally an aviation system unit, and it has cooperated with the base a lot of times, which can be regarded as knowing the roots. It's always nice to be able to work with familiar units.
Without hesitation, someone immediately agreed to work with Beihang to engage in monocrystalline materials: "If this is the case." Then we will definitely have to cooperate with the Beihang Materials Institute, and the materials here have been made. With just a follow-up analysis test, we can invest a lot less money and save a lot of time. ”
This is indeed a good idea, choosing to continue the development of DD3 monocrystal, and this will definitely be able to produce results, even Yang Hui is tempted. In the previous life, after 2000, Taihang directly used the second generation of monocrystal, and the first generation naturally missed the opportunity, and now I heard that there is such a monocrystal. It was a real bonus.
As for Pratt & Whitney, Yang Hui felt that there was no need to care at all, and even Yang Hui felt that there was no need for the base to participate in the cooperation between Beihang Institute of Materials and Pratt & Whitney.
These two collaborative projects are just to study the special properties of DD3 materials under laboratory conditions, and the base needs to cooperate with the more closely related parts of the site.
"Director, if this is the case, then there is no need for us to participate in the cooperation between these two, they are willing to study the material properties of DD3, which is naturally the best, anyway, no matter how thorough the research of this thing is, the Beihang Institute of Materials is also involved. Definitely know the results of the research. What we should do is not to study things in depth with them in laboratory conditions, we have our own needs. ”
What Yang Hui was going to say later had already been guessed by everyone: the base did not participate in the research in the laboratory, which was indeed a big pit that needed to be avoided, and what the base needed now was something real.
"I see what you mean. You mean that we are working with Beihang Institute of Materials to study how to achieve the industrial production of monocrystalline turbines, right? ”
Chief Master Yu's words said what everyone wanted to say, what was in the laboratory was always in the laboratory. There are a lot of things that can be made in the laboratory, but when it comes to preparing for industrial production, there are a lot of problems. The materials have been researched in the laboratory where Beihang Materials is located, which is very good and happy. But that's not enough.
Originally, I was going to introduce the National Iron and Steel Research Institute and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which are also researching single crystal alloys, but now it seems that there is no need for this at all.
"Fortunately, since everyone agrees to cooperate with Beihang Materials Institute, then we will cooperate with Beihang Materials Institute to overcome the industrial production technology of DD3 monocrystalline."
There is no need for Director Bai to come up with a democratic vote to bring out a total of eleven people in the entire conference room, and after removing Director Bai, everyone applauded warmly, and it seems that everyone passed the plan.
Yang Hui is ready at this time, as the secretary general, this time is the time to run errands and contact cooperation. Grinding his fists and palms, Yang Hui waited for Director Bai to announce the appointment, and Yang Hui still had some expectations for the place of Beihang Materials Institute.
"Since I have decided to cooperate with the Beihang Institute of Materials, then I will personally go on a trip this time, I still have a little friendship with the old grandson of the Institute of Materials, this guy is not easy to deal with, his temper is a little weird, and it is not easy to contact people."
I didn't expect the director to prepare to go out in person, since this is the case, that's the best, as I said just now, the old Mr. Sun of the material institute has a bit of a weird temper, and he should stay away from this kind of thing. As long as the final base can have a single crystal alloy that meets the requirements when needed, it will do.
"Director, then our aluminum-lithium alloy side is going directly to Guiyang Aluminum and Magnesium Design and Research Institute?"
Yang Hui raised this question is the most non-negotiable issue, the development of aluminum-lithium alloy must be to find the aluminum-magnesium design and research institute, the old aluminum-magnesium design and research institute established in 58 years is longer than the base of the time, and it is also quite strong in technology.
Listen to the name to know that this design and research institute is engaged in aluminum-magnesium alloy, the base's aircraft manufacturing uses aluminum are the results of this research institute, and now the base wants to cooperate with aluminum-lithium alloy, there must not be much of a problem.
The director of Yunma Factory has the last say here, they use too many aluminum alloy materials, and he is quite clear about the ability of Guiyang Aluminum and Magnesium Design and Research Institute.
"This is for sure, the technical ability of Guiyang Aluminum and Magnesium Design and Research Institute is among the top few in the country, and they just happen to study the skin aluminum used in our aircraft, and cooperation with them is the tradition of our base, if you are looking for other research and development units to cooperate, the first is not familiar, the second they are not necessarily technically excellent, and the third is still too far away."
Such a research institute with the right time, place, and people is naturally the best to cooperate. Yang Hui still doesn't remember the research results of this institute in later generations.
Yang Hui only knows that the third generation of aluminum-lithium alloy of the Republic of China is produced in the Southwest Aluminum Company of the Republic of China, which is also in the southwest and is also engaged in aluminum alloy.
Now it seems that Guiyang Aluminum and Magnesium Design and Research Institute is a very good cooperative unit, and there should be no problem in cooperation.
"There are other research institutes, but none of the parties are as good as what they are proposing now, so I think we will go and get in touch with Guiyang first to see if they are interested in doing our project."
Now there is no absolute reason to convince everyone to agree directly, so it is naturally important to inquire first, and then further discuss how to cooperate after the initial contact.
"Okay, then follow the proposal of Yunma Factory to contact Guiyang first, and the specific Yunma Factory will contact first, what do you think?"
And you don't have to run errands yourself, which is really good news. However, Yang Hui still has a big thing to do, which cannot be delayed.
"By the way, the introduction of gear transmission technology this time, I'm afraid we need to go to the United States to discuss with Garrett Company specifically, how many people are going to be arranged at the base this time?"
Speaking of gear transmission again, everyone looks at me and I look at you, obviously no one has time, and in the end, Director Bai is the most single.
"Everyone doesn't have time, you can do it yourself, or you will represent the base and talk with the people from Hongdu and Zhuzhou Factory. Anyway, there are only so many funds in 10 million, so it's good that you don't overspend. (To be continued......)
