Chapter 352: Hydraulic Press Test
Now Li Zhao didn't know what his superiors would arrange, so he naturally didn't dare to reveal the next plan. The transformation project is the content that has been revealed earlier, this does not matter, after all, the overall transformation of the machine tool has lagged behind a lot, even after the transformation, precision, production speed, etc. are fully backward.
Whether the new machine tool can be exported or not needs to be decided by the superiors, and now this project is still under secrecy, and it cannot be leaked from Li Zhao. After all, this kind of leading machine tool, that is not a joke, the impact on the overall industrial processing capacity, is definitely many countries will be red, have to be cautious.
Seeing that Li Zhao didn't admit that there was any new project, Nastya could only give up, but asked about the blast furnace designed by Li Zhao. Li Zhao didn't hide much about this, especially Li Zhao emphasized: "There is nothing wrong with this kind of blast furnace design, as long as your country is willing, 5,000 cubic meters is not a problem, and I have mainly made a lot of improvements to pollutant emissions, which is conducive to protecting the environment."
Regarding Li Zhao's statement about protecting the environment, how can anyone care in this era? In this era, production capacity is exploding, who cares too much about environmental protection issues, in the face of Li Zhao's a lot of environmental protection improvements, Nastya is already a little confused. Where did she understand what Li Zhao said about flue gas desulfurization and coke oven gas recycling, in short, he was dizzy when he heard it, and he was fooled by Li Zhao.
Although Li Zhao said that he didn't plan to make too much money this time, no matter how little he was, it would be a big profit, after all, there had already been two transactions, and even if he gave a discount this time, it would be a large amount of income, which was estimated to be equivalent to the profit of a large factory. It's just that such opportunities can't come every day, and it's still very difficult to make a lot of money.
Time flickered, it came to Saturday, the hydraulic press was installed on Friday as scheduled, and today came to the day of the hydraulic press test, and there were really many people who came today. First of all, the people from several research institutes of the material factory will not be mentioned, except for a few people who are unwilling to put down their research, basically they all came. There were also the heads of the newly built factories and representatives of the workers, and of course representatives of the army. Leaders were also present a lot, mainly the leaders of the competent side.
Brother companies also came a lot of people, mainly the people who participated in the project work at the beginning, they were busy for several months, working overtime every day to draw, and now the product is ready to be inspected, of course, they have to be there to see. So today is a crowd, and there are thousands of people who arrived at the scene. Of course, the material factory has arranged for these people, and specially set up a viewing platform, of course, far away to prevent any accidents.
Today's test is relatively low-key, and the media is not invited, and the people who come today are all related to the material factory or project, and none of the others are invited. For example, the Da Mao ambassador who came to visit before was not invited again this time, which is a relatively low-key experiment, and this kind of large-scale equipment should not be known to many people.
Today's test project is also very simple, first of all, to test the performance of the equipment, that is, the safety and stability of the equipment under maximum pressure, and then to test the production efficiency. Test the maximum pressure to see if the design requirements can be met, and the test production capacity is mainly to calculate the production cost to see if it is cost-effective.
You must know that after the project was determined, Li Zhao enlarged the entire design slightly, and now Li Zhao estimates that there should be no big problem to reach 20,000 tons, as for the maximum design tonnage of 24,000 tons, Li Zhao is also a little lacking in confidence. Of course, even if it is 20,000 tons, it is definitely the largest free forging hydraulic press in the world.
One of the reasons for Li Zhao's design is to verify the design of the 80,000-ton die forging hydraulic press, if this test is very successful, then Li Zhao will be able to design the 80,000-ton die forging machine with this experience, which is a necessary equipment for the production of the third generation machine. If you want the third-generation aircraft to fly and meet the standards of the third-generation aircraft, you must have a large-scale die forging machine to form the aircraft girder at one time, which is too difficult for this kind of equipment.
You must know that the 80,000-ton die forging machine, just the tonnage is a desperate number, that is more than 20,000 tons, but this project Li Zhao still has to be completed within three years. If there is no large-scale die forging machine, then only open forging can be used, which will greatly increase the production difficulty and it is difficult to meet the design requirements. And the production efficiency will also be greatly reduced, which is why the large-tonnage die forging machine will be used in large quantities after sixty years.
also
It is for this reason that the success of this experiment is very critical, which will directly affect Li Zhao's next series of plans, if it fails, the consequences are unimaginable, and there are really a lot of people here today.
Before eight o'clock, a group of technicians began to check, and this inspection must be foolproof. You must know that this kind of ultra-high pressure equipment is not a joke, once there is a leak under high pressure, it is just a spray of water, hit the person, that is a light injury, heavy death. This pressure, which is comparable to that of a waterjet, is sprayed directly on a person, and it is basically the end of a broken tendon.
It took nearly an hour to check all the parts, and this is the third time that I have done this, so I really don't dare to be sloppy at all. Moreover, the person in charge of the operation this time is not an ordinary person, the person in charge of the operation this time is a person transferred from the military factory, and they have experience in operating a 6,000-ton hydraulic press. Li Zhao also gave him a detailed training a few days ago, and it can be said that he talked about it one part at a time.
At nine o'clock, the equipment began to be started, and as the forging hammer was slowly lowered, the pressure began to be pressurized, and the person responsible for observing the pressure gauge began to report non-stop, and finally reported the pressure summary. Soon the pressure reached 10,000 tons, and everyone was staring at the hydraulic press at this time, for fear that something would go wrong. At this time, Li Zhao was also very nervous, although he was very confident in the design, but after all, he did not actually use it, and he did not dare to guarantee the specifics.
Soon the pressure came to 15,000 tons, at this time, in fact, it was enough to use, this project was considered a success, and the free forging of this pressure was able to complete most of the work. Then there were 18,000 tons, and there were still no problems, and at this time the pressurization began to slow down, after all, the last time was often the most dangerous, and soon the pressure reached 20,000 tons, and then everyone broke out into enthusiastic cheers.
At this time, Li Zhao finally put his mind at ease, the project had been successful and met Li Zhao's requirements. The test is still continuing, you must know that Li Zhao designed a margin of 20% for safety, this is a helpless move, and the margin can better protect the equipment, although it will cost more money.
Soon the pressure came to 22,000 tons, for this pressure, everyone was numb, and they were listening attentively to the continued report, and soon reached the limit of 24,000 tons designed by Li Zhao, and finally stopped pressurizing, and there was no way to add it, and the high-pressure water pump could only provide such a high pressure. The equipment was operating normally, and all parts were under pressure, so it can be said that the experiment was very successful.
Soon the equipment began to depressurize, and finally gradually stopped, and all the technicians began to re-inspect to see if there were any damaged parts, even those that were badly worn. Soon the test was completed, and everyone gathered their test results together and handed them to Li Zhao. Li Zhao hurriedly looked at them one by one, and everyone stared at Li Zhao, and everyone didn't dare to breathe, for fear of missing something.
At this time, Li Zhao is also nervous, once there is a problem, then the impact on the follow-up will be too bad, delay time is secondary, and the most important thing is to discourage everyone's enthusiasm. Li Zhao is ready to use this project to boost morale, but the result is good, Li Zhao looked at the past one by one, all indicators are excellent, even the power consumption is excellent, this is really beyond Li Zhao's expectations, at this time Li Zhao is already full of joy.
After reading the last one, Li Zhao raised the test results in his hand high and shouted loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the test results are all excellent, all the components are not damaged, and I announce that our hydraulic press project has been successful. The design requirements were fully met, and with the joint efforts of all of us, the project was successfully completed."
At this time, the whole scene was filled with enthusiastic cheers, and Li Zhao became the center of everyone, and everyone came to shake hands with Li Zhao and congratulate the success of the project, and it took a while to stop. At this time, everyone is excited, to know the success of this project, everyone can basically be sure of the success of the machine tool.
At this time, Li Zhao also announced that trial production would be carried out, and soon the billets that had been prepared in advance began to be forged. With the help of auxiliary machines and auxiliary molds, the billet was quickly formed, and Li Zhao was also quite satisfied with the production speed.
Of course, it can't be compared with the full computer control sixty years later, but under the operation of skilled workers, the production speed is very considerable and basic
It can reach the speed of sixty or seventy percent of the equipment in sixty years, and Li Zhao is very satisfied when he sees this. Soon replaced with new billets, the hydraulic press continued to work, and today it is necessary to produce not only billets for the key parts of machine tools, but also for artillery, which will be produced here before being sent to the military factory for the next step of processing.
