Chapter 564 Vacuum Electron Beam Welding Technology
For Vorontsov, it would be better if he could form a joint venture with the Torch Group like C.B. Ferrari, but he could also accept continuing to engage in technology exchange for technology.
So he nodded, and recognized the cooperation method proposed by Chang Haonan:
"So, what quid pro quo is Mr. Chang going to offer this time?"
Chang Haonan didn't talk much nonsense, and directly showed his requirements:
"I heard that at the Kazan Aviation Plant, there is a production line for vacuum electron beam welding, which is the key technology and equipment provided by the Kolomna plant?"
Vorontsov was stunned, probably not expecting the other party to understand these details so clearly.
"That's right, but that production line hasn't been put into use since 91, so the current state is average, and more importantly, many of the relevant technicians have been transferred or even left completely."
The vacuum electron beam welding line in Kolomna is used for welding large titanium alloys or lithium-aluminum alloys.
Specific to the Soviet era, only the central main spar of the Tu-160 and An-124/225 could be used.
After the collapse of the alliance, none of the three models were rebuilt into new machines, and several of the aircraft that rolled off the assembly line were also assembled from existing parts.
As a result, the production line naturally fell into abandonment.
But Chang Haonan didn't want that production line originally.
The manufacture and installation of vacuum electron beam welding equipment is extremely complex, and it is difficult to disassemble it and then transport it all the way to China and reassemble it.
So, it's better to consider just building a new one.
Even if Figure 160 can't get his hands on it, this thing will be useful in the future.
In the original timeline, the equipment of the Kazan plant was reactivated without being abandoned for too many years.
First of all, it was directly changed to produce some pressure vessels, such as rocket fuel tanks.
Later, I worked hard until the Tu 160M resumed production, and I went back to my old job.
"It doesn't matter, as long as the technical data is there."
Chang Haonan waved his hand and said it didn't matter:
"We've worked together so many times, we're old friends, and it's okay for me to suffer a little loss this time."
After the two projects of Project No. 11 and Multi-arc Ion Plating Production Line, Shengjing has cultivated a group of partial talents who have a better understanding of Soviet technology and understand Russian.
In addition, the Torch Group is developing rapidly, and even if there are some technical obstacles that need to be re-tackled, it should not be wasted too long.
Vorontsov said in his heart, you are really embarrassed, these two technologies are not really the same magnitude at all.
Of course, Chang Haonan also knows this.
However, since he would make this request, he had naturally already calculated it.
So when Vorontsov was about to speak, he preemptively pressed the other party's words back:
"Of course, it's still a little unfair just to exchange like this."
"Therefore, we are also ready to show some new sincerity."
Vorontsov, who was choked on the words as soon as he said them, was a little uncomfortable, but it was not easy to show it at this time, so he had to signal Chang Haonan to continue.
"Mr. Vorontsov should have heard of our group's TORCH Multiphysics software?"
The other nodded.
After coming into contact with 601 during Project 11, Sukhoi quickly introduced this numerical calculation software, and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was a very high match with the modeling software they developed, KOMPAS-3D.
"In fact, we are working on a version with more features and capabilities, and the current plan is to only make it available to a small number of users who have a deep relationship with our group."
"The only regret is that because this new version of the algorithm is special, it is very inefficient to run on a general supercomputer......"
"Fortunately, we have also developed a new device specifically for these special algorithms, that is, the Dawning-T series computers, which can solve this problem to a certain extent and achieve high-precision, high-efficiency, and multi-degree-of-freedom computing ......."
“……”
The so-called new version mentioned by Chang Haonan is naturally the software and hardware bundling sales strategy that he chatted with Academician Li Jie at the National Science and Technology Award Dinner.
It's just that when he said it in a different way, it became a bargaining chip that could be traded.
What is the Void Cards.jpg
Although Vorontsov on the opposite side had a lot of dealings with the Chinese, he still obviously lacked resistance to this kind of rhetoric.
After a little thought, he expressed his initial agreement to this quid pro quo.
Of course, he can only be regarded as an intermediary, and in the end, he still needs to be formally signed and authorized by the Kolomna factory.
However, judging from past experience, few projects approved by import and export companies have been vetoed.
So, it's basically eight or nine and ten.
……
After ending the PY deal with Vorontsov, Chang Haonan returned to the workshop.
Those technicians from the brother unit are still surrounding the multi-arc ion plating production line, and you and I are discussing it word by word.
Seeing Chang Haonan reappearing, everyone stepped forward and surrounded him.
"Mr. Chang, we just discussed it, and now we have a proposal, I want to hear your opinion."
One of the older speakers became a representative and said to Chang Haonan:
"I heard Zhong Shihong Zhong say that this production line will not be able to arrange formal mass production tasks in the Liming Factory for a while and a half, and will only carry out some technical adaptation work at present."
"It just so happens that several of our companies have projects that urgently need this kind of high-stability coating technology, and we really can't wait for the production line to be completed and put into production."
"So, during this time, can we pay for the Dawn Factory to help us produce some samples in the form of orders, which can at least be used for testing?"
Those who can stand here are all veteran comrades with a certain amount of experience within the military-industrial system.
From the acceptance process just now, it is not difficult for everyone to see that although Chang Haonan is not a person from Liming Factory in theory, he has the absolute right to speak.
As long as he nodded, it wasn't much of a problem.
After all, this production line is completely prepared for the turbofan 10 project.
It will take some time before the turbofan 10 is finalized and transferred to mass production, or even if it is a small batch of trial production.
"Yes, yes."
Chang Haonan agreed to the other party's request after a little thought.
Anyway, the workers of the Dawn Factory also need a process of familiarizing themselves with the production line, and instead of letting them directly practice with parts that they can't use, it is better to help the brother units solve some practical problems by the way.
But then, he added:
"However, multi-arc ion plating is not a panacea process, you report the type of workpiece and coating material that needs to be coated, let the engineers here review, if you can pass, just send the order directly after you go back."
"It's good to say, we're just going to chrome plating the barrel bore, which is the most common coating requirement......"
The old engineer who had just spoken said immediately.
It seems that he should be from the Ordnance Industry Group.
"We're going to make gears for the gearbox, and the coating is the same as the demonstration just now, which is titanium nitride, but it doesn't need that high binding energy ......."
"Plexiglas for aviation, indium tin oxide ...... need to be plated on the surface"
"Engine piston, molybdenum disulfide plated......"
The voices that sounded around made Chang Haonan a little big for a while, and it took a while to finally send these overly enthusiastic and excited technicians to the section leader who was in charge of this ion plating production line for docking.
However, he did not leave the workshop immediately, but quietly watched the items listed on the paper grow little by little.
Then switch to the other side.
Replace it with a new piece of paper......
Probably, this is the scene I was looking forward to seeing when I was just reborn.
