Chapter 444: Is It Really Useful?
The first big order of the torch company was made somewhat inexplicably.
Prior to this, Chang Haonan had even informed Yang Huimei to prepare for longer-term negotiations.
As a result, there was no negotiation at all.
The previous TORCH Multiphysics was still in the trial stage, so naturally there was no problem with fees, and even if it was charged in the future, it would be a trickle and a long run.
The agreement reached with the three bearing groups is also a contract signed in installments because it involves the need for both parties to jointly improve the algorithm model.
Therefore, these two 7.5 million are the first major revenue of Torch Company since its establishment.
After finishing the meeting with Fang Manchang and Guo Zhanwen, Chang Haonan returned to the office and called Yang Huimei.
The latter, as the person in charge of the marketing business of the torch company, is naturally quite concerned about this large order with a limit of tens of millions, and has changed into formal clothes and waited in the office for a day, and when he picked up the phone, the whole person was excited:
"Mr. Chang, do you need me to come forward to negotiate the price with the other party?"
"Uh...... No, no, I've already finished talking, you can find someone to draw up a formal contract, and we'll sign it tomorrow. ”
Chang Haonan still felt a little unreal at this time, although the 15 million did not go into his personal account, it was indeed the largest amount of money he had directly handled.
"Talk...... Finished talking? ”
According to the plan agreed upon by the two men, today should only be an early contact, followed by formal negotiations between the two sides.
But apparently there was a huge deviation in the direction of the story, which made Yang Huimei a little stunned for a while.
Combined with Chang Haonan's tone just now, which seemed to be hollowed out, it suddenly gave her a bad premonition:
"Mr. Chang, you didn't promise them any harsh conditions, did you?"
"No, no, in fact, we didn't talk about it at all, they accepted our terms in full, and now they are waiting to sign the contract."
I don't know if it's Chang Haonan's delusion, he felt that the other party's tone just now was like a mother who was worried that her son would be bullied outside......
"All-......"
Yang Huimei suddenly had a trace of doubt about her significance in this company:
"Mr. Chang, can you tell me how you talked about it......
"I ......"
Chang Haonan briefly reviewed the entire negotiation process today.
"Uh......"
Yang Huimei on the other end of the phone helplessly held her forehead:
"Mr. Chang, we are generally used to calling it bribery ...... your way of communication."
“……”
Chang Haonan was directly sweating.
I didn't think it before, but now that Yang Huimei says this, it seems to be really a bit of that meaning.
"But it doesn't matter, as long as our company's products are fine...... I'll take care of the contract, don't worry......"
Yang Huimei hurriedly took over the rest of the work.
……
A few days later, Xingcheng Special Steel's process research and development workshop.
Wu Hao, a young process engineer, took the process flow chart that had just been optimized in his hand, added a sample of M50NiL steel produced by the company to the multi-dimensional co-permeation furnace, and began to check the parameters of the whole process with some numbness.
This is the first time in a year that he has conducted such experiments countless times.
Get the process parameters from the person in charge of R&D, then experiment, test, and report the results back.
Since graduating from college last year and entering this company, Wu Hao has been doing such boring and repetitive work almost all the time, if it weren't for the fact that the salary is not bad, he would not be able to live this kind of life for half a day.
"Scheme 1: co-osmosis for 6 hours, diffusion for 3 hours, nitrogen, hydrogen, ethanol ratio 0.20:0.20:0.15...... Spheroidization annealing at 680°C, first quenching at 850°C, second quenching at 1100°C, cold treatment at -80°C, tempering at 545°C......"
In accordance with the requirements of the induction training, he repeated the entire process to himself.
"Wait...... Nitrogen? ”
Wu Hao, who had already begun to set the working mode of the multi-dimensional co-osmotic furnace, suddenly stopped what he was doing and looked down again to check the data in front of him.
Only then did I find that today's process parameters are completely different from before.
I flipped back to several other process schemes, and found that they were all quite different from before.
It stands to reason that this kind of process testing should be gradual, and even if you think differently, it shouldn't make such a big difference in one day.
Moreover, the process design is not so easy to replace, and each time the design experiment is replaced, it will be stopped for a few days.
"Strange...... It can't be a mistake, right? ”
He turned back to the first page of the process report and confirmed that the date was today, and it also had the signature of Chief Craftsman Fang Manchang:
"Could it be that Mr. Fang is mistaken?"
After hesitating for a moment, Wu Hao still decided to call Fang Manchang:
"Hey, Mr. Fang, I see that our processing process today is completely different from before, I want to confirm with you, I'm afraid I took the wrong ...... from you just now."
Fang Manchang on the other side of the phone was reviewing the data just submitted by another group of experimenters with his colleagues, and replied impatiently:
"That's right, that's it, you just do it."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
In fact, Wu Hao is the least important of several engineers under him, he has been in the company for more than a year, and there is still no obvious progress, many things have to be asked to him, fortunately, the basic skills are good, so after the probationary period, he is still turned positive, but he is generally assigned to the job with the least importance.
The process design method brought back from Chang Haonan this time, although Fang Manchang didn't have any expectations, but after all, he spent a huge amount of 7.5 million, even if it was for the sake of money, he couldn't just throw it aside.
So he spent a few days of hard work, found a few typical process plans according to that method, and threw them to Wu Hao to do.
Even if you can't do it, it's time to collect data.
"What new process did you design yesterday?"
The colleague sitting opposite Fang Manchang was holding a magnifying glass in his hand, looking down at the dense data on the form, and asked without raising his head.
"Yes, Wu Hao asked me if I took it wrong, it was indeed different from what he did before."
Fang Manchang shook his head, he felt that he was likely to be engraved in the history of Xingcheng Special Steel's development because of that decision a few days ago.
It's just in a typical way in the opposite direction.
"You too, you really took that thing seriously, and worked overtime for a few days to analyze ......"
The colleague on the other side circled a few of the piles of data with a red pencil as he spoke, then put the magnifying glass aside and rubbed the corners of his somewhat sore eyes:
"It's still not good, the average quality wear rate has exceeded 5.5μg/N·m, this is still in the oil state, and I don't dare to think about the data in the oil-off state......
"No way, send this batch of samples for X-ray spectrometer analysis to see the wear and abrasion debris morphology,"
Fang Manchang was used to such results.
In fact, after Xingcheng Special Steel manufactured qualified M50 steel, it began to study the heat treatment scheme of M50NiL, but it cannot be said that the progress is gratifying after a few years, at least it can be said to be standing still.
70% of the samples are not as good as the old M50 material in terms of overall performance, and the remaining 30% is not much improved.
In short, it's all scrap.
However, he knew that the metallurgical process was advanced in such a vast amount of trial and error, so he could endure loneliness.
"Let's analyze the next set."
He said as he replaced it with a new form.
The colleague sitting across from him let out a long sigh and picked up the magnifying glass again.
……
The boring work lasted until late that night, and even two meals in the middle were sent by the logistics department.
Fang Manchang finished reviewing the last experimental data, got up from his chair, stretched and prepared to get off work.
After sitting for a long time, he felt a little black in front of his eyes, and he held on to the table for a while before recovering.
When he straightened up again, he found a panting man standing in the doorway.
"Wu Hao?"
Fang Manchang recognized the other party:
"What are you doing here so late, just hand over the data tomorrow morning, it's time to get off work."
"No, Mr. Fang, you're really amazing......"
Wu Hao panted and put the A2 size data record in his hand on the table:
"Today's steel, the test results are simply amazing......"
"Huh?"
Fang Manchang was about to take off his overalls and change into regular clothes, but he stopped halfway through the buttons:
"What result?"
"The process plan you gave me in the morning, a total of 5 samples, the worst test results are better than the ones I did in the past, I don't know how much......"
"Thank you for always giving me such a promising plan, I always felt that you were biased against me, it was too ......"
Fang Manchang couldn't hear Wu Hao's words anymore.
He quickly flipped through the test results on the table.
Of course, it was impossible to read the dense data in a short time, so he looked directly at the wear-resistant part that had been bothering him before.
“0.114μg/N·m、0121μg/N·m、0,094μg/N·m……”
"What's your testing method?"
The colleague next to him looked at the data in front of him, and his first reaction was even that the test was wrong.
Wu Hao, who had just finished expressing his gratitude, was stunned for a moment, and then immediately replied:
"This is the above requirement, the RCF3 rolling contact tester is used to drive the wheel curvature of R7mm curved surface, diameter φ200mm, applied contact stress of 5.7GPa, speed of 30000r/min, use 4050 aviation lubricating oil and sufficient oil supply, and carry out rolling contact test on the sample under normal temperature test conditions. The specifications of the two materials are φ20×50mm......"
"Mr. Fang, although the durability test has not been done, and the metallographic structure has not been observed, but from the surface data of wear resistance, corrosion resistance, surface hardening degree and easy machinability, this thing is simply a new generation of metal materials, I tested the M50NiL steel imported from Datong Steel in Japan when I was in school, and many properties are not as good as this ......"
And Fang Manchang, who hadn't spoken for a long time next to him, had only one thought in his mind at this time:
"TMD, is this really useful?"
