Chapter 285: The explosion of material technology
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
After half a month of negotiations, Guan Yong successfully acquired two steel companies for 2.75 billion yuan, and assumed more than one billion debts, established Dongfang Metal Materials Company, through the introduction of new equipment, will form an annual production capacity of more than 11oo tons of various alloy steel.
Metal materials have been developed grade alloys and metallic glass, and will soon come up with new metal materials such as dark blue alloy, memory alloy and high-temperature resistant alloy to help Xinhuaguo complete the breakthrough of motivation and nuclear fusion unit.
Grade alloy is a general term, which is divided into dozens of models, and Ye Quan will be introduced to the military and civilian markets according to the first process.
Metallic glass, also known as amorphous alloy, has both the advantages of metal and glass, but also overcomes their respective drawbacks.
For example, glass is fragile and has no ductility, but the strength of metallic glass is higher than that of steel, and the hardness is too high, and the hard tool steel has a certain toughness and rigidity.
Therefore, metallic glass is also known as the "king of glass" that "cannot be broken or smashed".
The hardness of metallic glass is twice that of conventional steel, it has strong corrosion resistance, does not deteriorate, and is light in weight; It is highly flexible at a certain temperature, but very hard and malleable after complete cooling.
Due to the often hard metallic glass, it can be used in the military to make guns and bullets, missiles and armored vehicles.
In sports, it is suitable for many sporting goods.
It can also be used on the shell of computers and mobile phones, which is lightweight, beautiful and hard.
In addition, its performance and characteristics also bring business opportunities for many jewelers.
In short, the list goes on.
Oriental Special Materials was subsequently established.
Materials are the foundation of technology.
So. The establishment of the special materials room, the nanomaterials room and the special ceramics room was given priority by Ye Quan and the enrollment was greatly expanded. Each office will recruit thousands of people, mostly assistants and interns.
The special materials laboratory has developed polymer composite materials and carbon fibers, commonly known as "Bairou steel", and is preparing to launch projects such as biosteel, bionic skin, fluff synthetic fibers, light refractive textiles and conductive materials in the future.
The Nanomaterials Laboratory will be responsible for the research of lightweight nanometals, nanocomposites and other projects
The special ceramics laboratory is responsible for the research of special materials including cermets and normal temperature conductive ceramics.
Carbon fiber has been widely used in the sixties and seventies of the last century, but in the 21st century, the output of carbon fiber has not reached the standard of a large number of industrialization, and it has always been in short supply.
This kind of product that can replace steel has applications in various fields, and no matter how bad carbon fiber is. There are also index advantages of traditional materials, but due to the limitations of technology and manufacturing process, it is far from being able to reach the production capacity of steel.
In 2o15, the global market of carbon fiber exceeded 1.2 billion US dollars, and it is expected to exceed 4oo US dollars by 2o2o, and the application of carbon fiber composite materials will enter a new era.
Xinhuaguo is a big demand for carbon fiber, with a market size of nearly 10,000 tons. However, it has been in short supply.
To give a simple example, Xinhua has begun to engage in large aircraft projects, and carbon fiber must be engaged in large aircraft.
A large aircraft needs at least more than 1o tons of carbon fiber, and the country can only produce about 1oo tons per year, and the other shares can only be imported from abroad at a high price.
After the launch of carbon fiber. It is very useful in the fields of aircraft fuselage, bulletproof materials, automobile bodies, etc., and even does not have to seek a market, and the future safety protection projects of the Eastern Group, automobile projects and aviation projects will require a large amount of carbon fiber.
Ye Quan came up with two carbon fiber technologies, one with ordinary performance, but cheap and easy to produce. It will be used in automobile manufacturing, sporting goods and other fields.
One is a new type of carbon fiber, which is made from millions of extremely small nanotubes. It is currently the strongest man-made fiber in the world, with a technology ahead of the existing similar materials for at least ten years, and its strength and hardness are several times more than the fibers currently used in body armor.
The new fibers are very stiff, lightweight, and adept at absorbing the energy generated by the high movement of object fragments, which is far better than Kevlar fibers in every way.
"Nanotechnology" is a very fashionable name in the 21st century, and it is divided into nanophysics, nanobiology, nanochemistry, nanoelectronics, nanofabrication technology and nanometrology.
Nanomaterials are a kind of materials with a thickness in the nanometer range, which is a revolutionary and epoch-making technological breakthrough, just as mankind has experienced the Stone Age, the Bronze Age and the Iron Age, and soon we will face the Nanomaterial Age.
They are more than 1o times harder than existing materials, and are also extremely elastic, can adapt to various shapes and restore their original shape at the same time, and are the closest to the ideal engineering materials in terms of strength, toughness, stiffness and other mechanical properties.
To put it simply, if you use nanomaterials to make armor, you can reduce the weight by ninety percent, and increase the protection capacity by several times.
If it is used in the field of engineering and construction, as a load-bearing structure of skyscrapers, it can build buildings with a height of more than 2,000 meters.
Nanomaterials are widely used in aerospace, defense industry, magnetic recording equipment, computer engineering, environmental protection, chemical industry, medicine, biological engineering and nuclear industry due to their specific optical, electrical, magnetic, thermal, acoustic, mechanical, chemical and biological properties.
The importance of nanomaterials is undeniable, the question is when humans will be able to produce them on a large scale and bring the cost down.
It's a pity that at present, nanomaterials have just come out of the real yàn room, and only some primary materials can be produced on a small scale, and Ye Quan has to insert a foot in this field no matter what.
Special ceramics, also known as fine ceramics, can be roughly divided into two categories: high-strength, high-temperature resistant and composite structural ceramics and electrical and electronic functional ceramics according to their application functions.
The different chemical composition and microstructure of special ceramics determine their different special properties and functions, such as high strength, high hardness, high toughness, corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity, insulation, magnetism, light transmission, etc.
At the beginning of this century, the international market size of special ceramics exceeded 5oo million US dollars, which were used in machinery, electronics, chemical industry, smelting, energy, medicine, laser, nuclear reaction, aerospace and many other aspects.
Cermet is a structural material composed of ceramic hard phase and metal or alloy bonded phase, which not only maintains the characteristics of high strength, high hardness, wear resistance, high temperature resistance, oxidation resistance and chemical stability of ceramics, but also has good metal toughness and plasticity.
Cermet has the advantages of both metal and ceramic, it has low density, high hardness, wear resistance, good thermal conductivity, and will not be brittle due to quenching or quenching.
Cermet is used in a wide range of applications, and most of them are high-end military fields, such as rockets, missiles, sound aircraft shells, flame vents in combustion chambers and other places, which is the cutting-edge materials that Xinhua urgently needs.
Any one of these material technologies, any company with one of them, is enough to open up a huge market and eat enough.
In the first half of this year, Guan Yong plans to acquire more than 30 factories, half of which are special materials manufacturing plants, which are affiliated to Dongfang Special Materials Company, which produce Bairou steel, high-strength transparent composite materials, carbon fiber and special ceramics.
The manufacturing and processing of these high-tech materials is exactly what Xinhua lacks the most, and many of them can be applied in the military field and high-end civilian industries.
Compared with one or two of the most advanced weapons and equipment, the military power increase brought by these materials is the real rebirth.
At the same time, the establishment of these material factories will not only lay a solid foundation for Ye Quan's future industrial empire, but also save a lot of production capacity for the universal manufacturing base, which will only be used to manufacture the most critical parts that cannot be manufactured in the real world in the future, and the production efficiency will be increased several times.
PS: Happy National Day, book friends! This month, the clouds should be much more idle and work harder.
