Chapter 146: Vast Heaven and Earth, Great Achievements

"According to the above data, the amount of titanium alloy has accounted for a large proportion, but in my opinion, it is far from enough, and the potential of titanium alloy has not been fully developed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

However, with the development of the times, the development and procurement of military weapons continue to develop in the direction of lightness and flexibility, in order to meet the combat performance requirements of fighters, in addition to the use of advanced design technology, it is also necessary to use materials with excellent performance and advanced manufacturing technology. It is one of the important measures to select a large number of titanium alloys and improve the application level of advanced titanium alloys. ā€

"Titanium alloy can reduce the weight of the structure, improve the efficiency of the structure, advanced combat performance requires the aircraft to have a relatively low structural weight coefficient, that is, the weight of the fuselage structure / normal take-off weight of the aircraft, and the titanium alloy has the strength close to the strength of the steel but the density is small, can even replace the structural steel and high-temperature alloy, can greatly reduce the weight of the structure, but also can save costs; take the engine as an example, statistics show that the mass of the aircraft engine is reduced by one kilogram, the cost of use can be reduced by about 220-440 US dollars. ā€

"So since the 60s of the 20th century, the amount of titanium in the world's military aircraft has increased year by year, and the amount of titanium alloy in various advanced military fighters and bombers designed by Europe and the United States has stabilized at more than 20%, and the proportion of titanium used in new models is increasing significantly, and I expect that ten years later, the amount of titanium alloy will soon reach 60% of the total weight of military aircraft. ā€

As soon as these words came out, everyone's complexion suddenly changed, and their faces showed a look of disbelief, 60% of what are you kidding, these military aircraft are all big guys weighing as little as dozens of tons and as many as hundreds of tons, if there is such a high proportion of applications, doesn't it mean that the military aircraft field alone is already a big market of up to 10 billion US dollars a year.

"In the field of commercial aviation, the proportion of titanium alloys will reach 70%. ā€

Before they could recover from Chu Hao's astonishing remarks just now, Chu Hao's words dropped a huge bomb in front of them, which shocked everyone and couldn't think of themselves.

You know, this year's aviation industry is expected that in the next ten years, the demand for commercial aviation aircraft will reach 20,000, worth more than 3 trillion US dollars, if titanium alloy can really occupy such a large share, it means that it will be a 100 billion market.

If it weren't for the fact that this was Chu Hao's speech time, they would have even wanted to drag Chu Hao down and ask clearly, whether this is true or false!

However, most of the scientific researchers and business leaders in the field of titanium alloys are disdainful of Chu Hao's prediction.

Whether it is a company or a researcher, you need to have a very clear understanding of the market, and sufficient research, in their estimates, the proportion of military aircraft in the future can reach at most 30%, commercial aircraft is 40%, even the most optimistic industry insiders, is only an increase of 5% on the above data.

However, they are not surprised, whether it is a researcher or a company, if they don't even know the basic skills of drawing a pie, then it is better to change careers as soon as possible.

I didn't see any people, except for two pieces of paper that I didn't know what the hell plan was written, and they dared to brag that they had discovered a trillion-dollar market. Similarly, scientific research institutions that do not know how to draw a pie are also destined to fail to get scientific research funds.

Seeing the expressions of disbelief on everyone's faces, Chu Hao was full of confidence, you must know that in the previous life, in 2011, the proportion of global commercial aviation consumption has reached 46%, the proportion of military titanium is 9% (mainly military aviation), the proportion of titanium consumed in the entire military aviation field is more than 50%, the proportion of industrial consumption of titanium is 43%, and the proportion of titanium consumption in emerging markets is 2%.

And now there is Chu Hao's low-cost titanium alloy, the proportion of titanium alloy used in military aircraft exceeds 60%, and the proportion of titanium alloy used in commercial aircraft exceeds 70%, which is definitely not impossible.

"And in the automotive field, titanium alloys will also make a big difference. Nowadays, the pressure on people to protect the environment is increasing, so big that we humans must act now to protect our common home. ā€

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but nodded, whether it was the Western people who had suffered greatly, or the developing countries that were trying to step into the industrialized world, they have realized the importance of environmental protection, and it can be expected that governments and organizations will become more and more strict about environmental protection.

In his previous life, Xiao Lizi ran for 22 years, and finally won the Oscar for Best Actor, and his acceptance speech was thanked for a wave, and he didn't talk about anything else, but talked about the importance of global warming, calling on human beings to speed up the pace of action, and the importance of environmental protection is self-evident.

"Therefore, reducing fuel consumption and reducing hazardous waste (CO2, NOX, etc.) emissions have become one of the main driving forces and directions for technological progress in the automotive industry. According to research, lightweighting is an effective measure to save fuel and reduce pollution. For every 10% reduction in the mass of a car, fuel consumption can be reduced by 8%-10% and exhaust emissions can be reduced by 10%. In terms of driving, the acceleration performance of the vehicle has been improved after the vehicle has been lightweighted, and the vehicle control stability, noise, and vibration have also improved. From the perspective of collision safety, after the car is lightweight, the inertia during the collision is small, and the braking distance is reduced. ā€

"The preferred way to lighten automobiles is to replace traditional automobiles with lightweight materials with high specific strength, such as aluminum, magnesium, titanium, etc., The advantages of using titanium are: reducing weight, reducing fuel consumption, improving power transmission, reducing noise, reducing vibration, reducing component load, improving vehicle durability and environmental protection. The application of titanium in racing cars has a history of many years, and almost all racing cars use titanium materials at present, and the proportion will be higher in the future, and it is not a dream to appear all-titanium racing cars. In the next decade, the global amount of titanium used in automobiles will reach 30,000 tons. ā€

Hearing this, everyone gasped again, in Chu Hao's description, this will be another 10-billion-level market.

However, if you think about it carefully, this data is not too surprising to everyone, now the annual output of cars is about 60 million, and 30,000 tons of titanium alloy, in fact, means that the average titanium alloy used on each car is only 0.5 kilograms, drizzle.

And titanium has become one of the main anti-corrosion materials in chemical equipment, and has established its corrosion-resistant status in chemical plants. As an ideal material in chemical equipment, titanium has also attracted more and more attention from engineers and technicians. ā€
