Chapter 0472 - Die Casting Machine
President Zhou engaged in enterprise reform, and the movement was too big. But in the machinery factory, it was much quieter, because many cadres and workers who did not do anything were fired.
A security team composed of veterans and young people from Nantou Township patrolled the factory. They have walkie-talkies to communicate with each other to ensure that production in the factory is carried out normally.
Ding Wenjiang Ding Gong from Wuhan walked into the factory by the badge, and saw from a distance that the high-power transformer outside the casting workshop had been installed.
With a stronger power supply, the equipment in the factory is also running more stably. Several new projects have been carried out in the reorganized machine shop.
THERE ARE SEVEN SUB-MODELS OF TWO-STROKE GASOLINE ENGINES RANGING FROM 50CC TO 250CC DISPLACEMENTS. This is an attempt to serialize the product line, and it is a technological breakthrough.
Since the nineties, many domestic products have been shouting that they are imported technology at every turn. The engine of the motorcycle is also a 'Japanese product'.
Zhou Qingfeng's goal is import substitution. In the nineties, there will be a large number of automobile and motorcycle production lines in China, and most of them will not survive for ten years.
However, in just ten years, China imported a large number of small-displacement engines from Taiwan, Japan and South Korea. The money is made by others, but his own industry has not developed.
It's better to be cheap than to be cheaper than to be cheap.
Two-stroke gasoline engines are the easiest, so start with this one. Hundreds of third-line engineers recruited by Holy Light began to work around the project.
Inspired integration, EFI control, turbocharging, high horsepower, low cost, low emission, low fuel consumption, high reliability, good maintenance, Zhou Qingfeng listed a series of dazzling ultra-high indicators.
The concept is too advanced, and the engineering staff within the company are counted as one, and they all shake their heads and feel incredible.
But the president really moved out the corresponding model of 'imported from Japan' motorcycle engine, and came up with the corresponding design plan.
It's one thing to be able to do it or not, but you have to work hard!
Zhou Qingfeng convened a meeting of engineering personnel, "With our current technical level, it is indeed difficult to build this series of engines. But that's not a reason for us to lower our goals.
I have also talked before about replacing the Soviet standard that we currently use with the American standard. Now we need to start thinking about what we can do and what we can't do.
Among the indicators that cannot be achieved, those that we can solve by overcoming difficulties. Those are the ones that we can't overcome and can't solve. Those are the ones that we don't have a head to scratch and have no idea about. ”
On the day of the chaos in the market, the whole company of 'Shengguang' was rushing ducks to the shelves to prepare for the 'world's advanced level' two-stroke gasoline engine.
Ding Wenjiang is engaged in casting, and the seven models of engine blocks must be cast first. In order to reduce costs and ensure performance, casting requires precision and reduced machining timing.
Lao Ding came to the foundry workshop today to see the production capacity of Tianyang Machinery Factory.
Before entering the workshop, someone shouted at the door: "Lao Ding, come quickly." Show you a good baby. ”
The one who shouted was the old master Zhang whom Ding Wenjiang knew in the original unit, who was responsible for turning the sand of the mold. He kept waving at the door and pulled Lao Ding to a large piece of equipment in the workshop.
"What's this?" At first glance, Ding Wenjiang felt that this equipment looked like a horizontal machine tool, but if he looked closely, it was not a machine tool, "This is ......, die-casting machine?" ”
Lao Ding's surprised soul was about to fly out.
Vehicle engines are mostly cast iron or cast aluminum, both of which have their own benefits.
Starting from the domestic technical level, Ding Wenjiang recommended the upgrade route of cast iron engine.
He wrote a dozen pages of the report, only writing about the benefits of casting aluminum on the last half of the page, and mentioning in passing that 'casting aluminum needs a die-casting machine'.
The report was handed in, and Zhou Qingfeng called that night. The president didn't mention the dozen or so pages that he had painstakingly written, and only asked about the last short paragraph of 'die-casting machine'.
After asking for a long time, Zhou Dabang let out an 'oh', as if he understood. But Ding Wenjiang bets that his president didn't understand it at all, at most he understood that the die-casting machine had high production efficiency.
Die-casting is to inject melted metal into the mold to cool and form, and after the mold is opened, you can get the desired metal parts. It's just like an injection molding machine, except that the latter injects melted plastic particles.
Ordinary sand mold casting is particularly troublesome, modeling, core making, pouring, cooling, sand removal, cleaning, machining and heat treatment, there are too many processes.
As long as the mold is prepared for die casting, cooling after casting is basically the finished product. The casting has high precision, fast speed and low cost. It is often used for engine casting in automobiles and motorcycles.
It is well known that the big V always says that the competitiveness of domestic products is low labor costs. This kind of person just has no brains, and he doesn't understand what industry is or what mechanized manufacturing is.
The biggest feature of industry is to replace people with machines, which compresses the proportion of manpower in the cost of products. In the face of large machine production, the labor cost is low, and there is an egg use.
A hundred low-end laborers are not worth a good machine. The machine does not need five insurances and one housing fund, operates 24 hours a day, and does not ask for leave or slack off.
Industrial development is the continuous elimination of low-level jobs.
Back to die-casting.
Die casting has advantages and disadvantages. The biggest disadvantage is that if the equipment is not designed and manufactured, it is easy to leave pores in the finished product and become a waste product.
In addition, because of the high melting point of cast iron, die-casting cannot be used. The material of the hot chamber die casting machine is zinc alloy, magnesium alloy. Cold chamber die casting machines can handle aluminum alloys.
At present, the domestic electricity is not sufficient, and the output of aluminum alloy is not high, which is far less than the price of cast iron.
Lao Ding considered it comprehensively and felt that good die-casting machines had to be imported, which was too expensive. I was afraid that the raw materials were not easy to buy, so he recommended the cast railway line to Uncle Zhou.
This is also considering the domestic technical level.
But this damn Zhou Papi, Lao Tzu wrote a report for a few days, and he only read the last few sentences.
What about being cautious when choosing a technical route? My old man racked his brains to fully consider it, and as a result, you brought a die-casting machine.
It is said that the cost should also be considered when referring to international standards, which is in line with the current domestic situation. Aluminum is more expensive than iron, don't you understand it?
You're a big stick, and you keep talking in a meeting, is it possible that you're farting?
Ding Wenjiang was angry and happy, and circled around the horizontal cold chamber die-casting machine several times, laughing. He pulled the sand turner Lao Zhang and asked, "Where did this good thing come from?" ”
Lao Zhang said: "I just arrived at the equipment today, and I am looking for someone to figure out how to install it." Mr. Zhou said that with the die-casting machine, not only engine cylinders can be produced, but also many car body parts can be die-cast.
As long as we make the mold well, whether we produce cars or motorcycles in the future, it will be the same as making sausages. ”
Lao Ding listened to it with joy, and he almost danced on the spot. But he jumped for a while and asked worriedly: "Of course it's good to have a die-casting machine." But what about aluminum? There are not many domestic aluminum products. ”
Lao Zhang lowered his voice, "I heard that Mr. Zhou smuggled a large amount of scrap aluminum from abroad. Isn't there a small steel mill in the city, and that factory is now in his hands, and it has to be restructured.
Also, a lot of people have been laid off recently and have lost their jobs. 'Harmony Recycling' has been recruiting people for the past two days, and it needs 500 waste screeners.
It is said that there are too many impurities in the scrap aluminum and scrap iron, and the final cleaning needs to be done manually. The salary is not low, but the job is not good, and many people are still unwilling to do it.
But let me say, this person can't be too pretentious. ”
Enterprise reform is naturally good. Maintaining the status quo is not only the death of the enterprise, but also the death of the whole society. Because the wages paid to those wastes are earned by the hard work of people in other industries.
But now so many people are unemployed, which is quite miserable.
Lao Ding shook his head and sighed: "This Zhou Da stick mallet, he is impatient to do things." Can't he dismiss people slowly? Expelled 20,000 in one go, and only he can do it. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden shout at the door of the workshop, "Who calls me 'Zhou Da Bang Mallet' all day long, and has no opinion on me?" ”
The workshop was suddenly solemn, and everyone looked at Ding Wenjiang.
Lao Ding was old and was taken aback. He turned his head to look at Zhou Qingfeng, and had to point to the die-casting machine that had just arrived next to him, and said, "Mr. Zhou, I misunderstood." I'm boasting about the die casting machine. ”
Zhou Qingfeng appeared in the casting workshop, crossed his waist, and said angrily: "Are you stupid for me?" Explain it to me clearly, if you don't explain it clearly, half a month's salary will be deducted. ”
"This 'week' is to praise the die casting machine is particularly thoughtful. 'Big' is to praise the die-casting machine's clamping force, and 'stick' is naturally a particularly good die-casting machine. As for the 'mallet'......"
Ding Wenjiang 'mallet' for a long time didn't come out of the 'mallet'. He looked at Lao Zhang, who was already five meters away from him.
Zhou Qingfeng was laughed and cried angrily by Lao Ding, "Why do you shout 'big stick mallet' when you are a Wuhan person?" ”
Lao Ding explained: "I am not from Wuhan, I am originally from Liaoning. ”
"Okay, it doesn't matter where you are. Give you half a month to install and debug this die-casting machine, and at the same time train at least ten qualified operators. Otherwise, I'll deduct a month's worth of your salary.
I'd like to see which of us is the mallet?! ”
