049 New Materials

"This is the finished product?" Chen Wenhao held a silver-white metal rod and observed, this is a cylinder with a height of 25 centimeters and a diameter of 10 centimeters, "Is the performance test report out?" Whether it can meet the design standards. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Totally!" After the equity merger and acquisition of the factory, Jiang Wei's uncle served as the workshop director, focusing on on-site production. He usually doesn't talk much, but when he talks about this, he opens the conversation.

"This is the third furnace product, I didn't expect it to be done so smoothly. In fact, the performance of the products produced by the first two furnaces should also be significantly higher than the mainstream standards of the market. ”

"The melting point of the prototype exceeds 1600 degrees Celsius, and the strength and toughness indicators are more than 30% higher than that of titanium-64." Titanium-64 is currently the most widely used titanium alloy material in the world's aviation industry.

"The most powerful thing is that the specific gravity of this batch of titanium alloys is only 2.65!" Uncle Jiang Wei's face was full of disbelief, "Actually, I just saw the technical information and didn't believe it." The density of titanium is 4.5, generally speaking, after adding the alloy to the smelting, the density will increase slightly, how can it drop so much. ”

"I didn't expect it to be made, 2.65! It is slightly less dense than aluminum. ”

Jiang Wei's father, after the merger, he still served as the factory director, and spoke to Chen Wenhao very solemnly, "This set of materials is a treasure, it must have cost a lot of money to buy it." Have you ever registered a patent? ”

After getting the affirmative answer, Director Jiang still said in a solemn tone, "In fact, at the beginning, my brother and I had the same idea, even if the product performance of the new formula is improved, it is impossible to improve to the standard mentioned in the information." I didn't expect it to be true, once such a product is announced, the aerospace industry will change. ”

"Just in case, my brother and I were the only ones who had seen the technical data during the trial production, and we also did the finished product test. It now seems necessary to do so. When it comes to production, I'm going to divide the recipe into three separate parts, and all participants are required to sign a confidentiality agreement. "After more than 10 years of experience in the industrial field, Director Jiang attaches great importance to the confidentiality of formulas.

Chen Wenhao has no objection to this, professional things should be handed over to professional people to do. Through Norton Rose's team of lawyers, he has completed all relevant patent applications ahead of schedule. And to be honest, he's not afraid of other factories stealing his recipes.

First of all, today's intellectual property environment is not what it was 20 years ago, and if you steal a formula, you will not be able to sell it on a large scale unless the product is digested internally. And who are the main customers of titanium alloys? Basically, they are large enterprises in the aerospace industry and biomedicine, and they are also customers who attach more importance to intellectual property issues.

Secondly, there is the presence of small cards. Why does Chen Wenhao produce titanium alloys? It's not for the sake of building a moon-going vehicle for Xiaoka, this new titanium alloy will form the skeleton and shell of the moon-going vehicle.

For the application of alien technology, Chen Wenhao and Xiaoka have reached a basic consensus, using products made by black technology to help Xiaoka complete the task, and the reduced version (mainly to avoid being too shocking) products are put into the civilian market. On the one hand, more funds can be raised, and on the other hand, for Chen Wenhao's selfishness and ambition, let technology change life.

If someone uses improper means to touch the interests of the new titanium alloy, Chen Wenhao believes in himself and can say that Xiaoka can help. It doesn't take a lot, you just need to let the small card invade their power system when the infringing manufacturer smelts the alloy, and move a little bit of hands and feet, which is enough for those infringers to be anxious.

"If it is officially produced, how much can it be produced?" Chen Wenhao is more concerned about output than intellectual property protection.

"The difficulty of the smelting process is not high, but according to the requirements of the data, there are many standards for each process, which is time-consuming, and only one furnace can be started every day. Without the addition of equipment and workers, the monthly output is estimated to be around 7 tons in the first two months of production. After the process is proficient, it should be able to improve somewhat, but it will not exceed 10 tons. "The old Jiang factory director has obviously done his homework, and the data blurted out.

The output is indeed not high, but it is enough for the initial use demand.

Previously, Xiaoka had provided the first design drawings of the moon spacecraft, and the current priority is to find out the damage to the scientific research spacecraft. Therefore, the size of this version of the moon vehicle is not very large, and the design empty weight is less than 8,000 kilograms.

Of course, the current titanium alloy is a reduced version of the product, and the aircraft used to create a small truck naturally needs to use the original product. With the reduced version, it is possible to craft and upgrade through the Surveyor's manufacturing module. According to the data given by Xiaoka, every 3 tons of reduced version can be synthesized into 1 ton of the original. It still doesn't take much.

The extra new titanium alloy material, in Chen Wenhao's plan, will be used to create the next fist product of the company in the infinite future. The idea of the product has long been confirmed by the small card, [childish little toy, too simple].

Tsundere is not a disease, it is really terrible to send it out!

"How much will the prototype be produced?"

"There are a total of 12 such titanium alloy rods, each weighing about 5 kilograms."

"Leave two for you to make samples, and I'll take the rest first."

Chen Wenhao instructed the director of the old ginger factory to start purchasing raw materials such as titanium sponge and other metal ingots in large quantities and carry out large-scale production as soon as possible. He will immediately arrange the finances, and transfer 10 million yuan to the factory account in advance as funds for procurement and production.

Chen Wenhao also had to lament the windfall profits of high-end titanium alloy materials.

According to the calculation of the director of Lao Jiang, the cost of raw materials per ton of alloy will not exceed 70,000 yuan, and the cost of each ton of alloy will not exceed 100,000 yuan, including material loss, water and electricity consumption, equipment depreciation, labor expenses and other expenses. If it is produced on a large scale, the cost can be reduced a lot.

However, in the market, the performance is far inferior to the high-end titanium alloy of this product, and the price per ton can be as high as millions of yuan.

Of course, for normal manufacturers, it is necessary to share the huge R&D expenses invested in the early stage through this high-price strategy. And now there is a large demand for titanium alloys, especially in the high-end titanium alloy industry, there are very few industries, and sales cannot go up, so naturally we can only rely on high prices to ensure sufficient profits.

It's not that other industries don't want to use it, but they can't afford it. In fact, if digital products, especially laptops, tablets, and smart phones with relatively high heat generation, can be used as a frame structure or shell with titanium alloy, not only the firmness can be greatly increased, but the phenomenon of digital equipment becoming hand warmers will not appear.

Chen Wenhao is a little hesitant that if this material is put on the market too early, it is likely to attract the attention of behemoths that are still difficult to compete with due to its amazing performance indicators. After some consideration, he decided not to expand the scale of production for the time being, and the finished products currently produced are only digested internally, and the great thing is to stock up first.

As for the future, this new titanium alloy will eventually be discovered, and then it will be said. In addition, Infinite Future is also growing rapidly, and its ability to resist external shocks will continue to increase.

It's just that Chen Wenhao has a hunch that this future will not be far away.

Therefore, before saying goodbye, Chen Wenhao did not forget to tell the old Jiang factory director that after the output is stable, he can first make a plan for production expansion, and make a list of the equipment that needs to be added and the technical personnel that need to be introduced for the future.
