Chapter 477: Old Ancestor's Lost Wax Method

However, Bai Yi knew this kind of good method, but the other people present were at a loss, or Chen Yaoyang was the first to react, and asked Bai Yi: "Old Bai, what kind of investment casting are you talking about, what kind of process is it?" How come we've never heard of it. ”

"It's not that you haven't heard of it, but you haven't really paid attention to it, in fact, this kind of investment casting method, our ancestors have done it thousands of years ago."

Hearing Bai Yi's words, the three of them really looked at each other, and they really couldn't understand what ancient technology could be applied to the manufacture of modern jet engine turbine blades.

Bai Yi didn't sell it in this regard, and without waiting for the three of them to ask, he spit out a few words: "That is the lost wax method." ”

As soon as they heard the three words of the lost wax method, Li Zhong and Wang Xiaodong didn't feel anything, after all, they were engaged in technology, and they didn't play collecting, so they were curious about this strange name.

But Chen Yaoyang narrowed his eyes, pursed his lips and muttered, "Lost wax method...... The construction is complete, the situation is complex, and the degree of formability is good...... If it is paired with the right casting ......"

Speaking of this, Chen Yaoyang's narrowed eyes suddenly opened suddenly, and one hand slapped his black handbag fiercely, and shouted excitedly: "Hey...... Why didn't I think of such a good solution? I'm really, a good thing left by my ancestors, I actually, hi...... It's a shame that my family used to have so many collections, it's really a tyrannical thing, a tyrannical thing! ”

The three of them, including Bai Yi, were taken aback by Chen Yaoyang's convulsive behavior, especially Li Zhong and Wang Xiaodong, who looked at Chen Yaoyang like crazy people, and their strange eyes seemed to say, did you take medicine when you went out today.

Chen Yaoyang also knew that his actions were a little out of shape, so he hurriedly smiled and explained: "I'm so happy, I really didn't expect that the lost wax method handed down by my ancestors turned out to be a sharp tool to solve the one-time molding of turbine blades." ”

"What the hell is going on?" Li Zhong was really confused by the second monk now, Bai Yi threw out a series of unknown terms, and now even Chen Yaoyang began to play dumb riddles, which made Li Zhong, who was already worried about the future development of the foundry workshop, no longer have such good patience, and said directly to Chen Yaoyang: "Old Chen, if you have anything, you can say it directly, don't hide it." ”

"Don't hide it, not only that, but also really carry forward this lost wax method, so that your foundry workshop can become a technology leader comparable to the world."

Chen Yaoyang smiled from ear to ear, others don't know, but Chen Yaoyang knows the lost wax method too well, as a famous gold and stone collection family, Chen Yaoyang's great-grandfather has been committed to the study of ancient Chinese bronzes.

From the content of the inscription to the forging technique, through the efforts of several generations of the Chen family, they have really made a lot of fame, one of which is the research and restoration of the lost wax casting process before the Qin and Han dynasties, and based on this, the Qing Dynasty court casting process was improved, leaving a lot of valuable experience.

Although the times changed later, and the Chen family's collection and the notes and classics left by their predecessors almost disappeared in the smoke of decades of war, Chen Yaoyang's strong family history still allowed Chen Yaoyang to understand a lot of manufacturing methods and some details of ancient Chinese metal objects.

If it weren't for this, it would not be possible to think of the advantages and disadvantages of it immediately after Bai Yi proposed the lost wax method.

When Li Zhong and Wang Xiaodong listened to Chen Yaoyang's introduction to the lost wax method, they were also quite shocked, especially Wang Xiaodong, they didn't expect that this seemingly backward ancient process would have such a magical effect, not only can it completely cast a variety of complex surfaces and shapes.

More importantly, the structural strength is unusually strong, and the jet engine turbine blades have quite strict requirements for surface streamlining, overall structural strength and basic weight due to their unique working environment.

In the past, due to its inherent defects, it was difficult to meet the requirements in the processing of turbine blades, resulting in the quality of the product always going up, but now the emergence of the lost wax method just solves this problem.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaodong was so excited that he blushed and shouted again and again: "This method is good, this method is good, Section Chief Chen, this method is really good!" ”

"A good method is right, but if there is no discerning person, otherwise the best method will only be a pearl and dust." Chen Yaoyang nodded and shook his head again, but his eyes were on Bai Yi as he spoke, sighing, rejoicing and a trace of indescribable amazement, which finally turned into undisguised admiration.

There are not 10,000 but 8,000 people who know the lost wax method, and there are even many mold casting masters who are themselves lost wax methods, but no one connects this ancient skill with modern cutting-edge military manufacturing.

And Bai Yi can do this effortlessly, which shows that Bai Yi not only has a very thorough understanding of modern military manufacturing technology, but also is very familiar with traditional ancient skills.

Seeing that Chen Yaoyang felt that he was not as good as Bai Yi based on this alone, otherwise he would not have shouted at his father's and ancestors' gold and stone collection after Bai Yi's roll call.

Although Li Zhong is self-taught, he can control a foundry workshop, and he also has some real skills under his hands, so he immediately reacted when he heard Chen Yaoyang's sigh, and looked at Bai Yi with even more reverence.

At this time, Wang Xiaodong no longer had the youthful and vigorous posture he had before, he lowered his head and couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, thinking that he still looked down on Bai Yi before, and felt that this deputy chief engineer didn't even understand the common sense of convention.

Now it seems that people don't understand it, and they are very proficient in all kinds of processes, so they boldly propose to use the traditional lost wax method as the basis to create an investment casting process.

If such a person can still be laughed at, then he Wang Xiaodong will really become the biggest joke in the world.

Fortunately, Wang Xiaodong is also a person who can afford to let go, after a moment of self-blame and remorse, he stepped forward, bowed to Bai Yi without delay, and said loudly: "Bai Gong, before...... It was me who was wrong. ”

Wang Xiaodong's move made Bai Yi a little stunned, this is also what he doesn't know what Chen Yaoyang and others think, otherwise he will definitely shout Where will I be integrated, obviously it is written in black and white on the book, brother, I am just reading from the book.

But the matter has come to this point, even if Bai Yi knows at this time, he can't change anything, let alone explain it, so he will accept it when he sees it, and hurriedly helped Wang Xiaodong up, patting the other party's strong arm: "Since you have a direction, don't worry about the development of your foundry workshop, right?" ”

"No, no, this investment casting alone is enough for us to eat for a while!" Wang Xiaodong hurriedly waved his hand again and again, as if he felt that this sentence was not strong enough, hesitated for a moment and said again: "When we go back, we will start to study investment casting, after all, it was left by our ancestors, we can't lose it!" ”
