The Military-industrial Scientific Research System of the Academic Master Chapter 445

Chapter 445 is really useful?

The first big order of Torch Company was made somewhat inexplicably.

Prior to this, Chang Haonan had even informed Yang Huimei to be prepared for longer-term negotiations.

As a result, there was no negotiation at all.

　　The previous TORCMultiphysics was still in the trial stage, so there was no charging problem, and even if it were to be charged in the future, it would still be a steady stream.

The agreement reached with the three bearing groups also involves the need for both parties to jointly improve the algorithm model, and is a contract signed in the form of installment payment.

So, 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 made a call to Yang Huimei.

As the person in charge of the marketing business of Torch Company, the latter is naturally very concerned about this large order, which may amount to tens of millions. He has changed into formal clothes and been waiting in the office for a day. When he answered the phone, he became excited:

“Mr. Chang, do you need me to go out and negotiate the price with the other party?”

"Uh... No, no, I've already finished the negotiation. You can find someone to draw up a more formal contract. We will sign it tomorrow."

Chang Haonan still felt a bit 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 ever directly handled.

“Are you done talking...?”

According to the plan previously agreed upon by the two, today should be just a preliminary contact, followed by formal negotiations between the two sides.

But it was obvious that there was a huge deviation in the direction of the story, which made Yang Huimei a little stunned for a while.

Coupled with Chang Haonan's tone just now, as if his body had been hollowed out, she immediately had a bad feeling:

“Mr. Chang, you didn't agree to any harsh conditions, did you?”

“No, no, in fact we haven't discussed it at all. They have fully accepted our conditions and are now waiting to sign the contract.”

I don't know if it was Chang Haonan's misunderstanding. He felt that the other party's tone just now was like a mother who is worried about her son being bullied outside...

“Comprehensive…”

Yang Huimei suddenly had a doubt about her significance in this company:

“Mr. Chang, can you tell me how you discussed it...”

"I…"

Chang Haonan briefly reviewed the entire negotiation process today.

"Well…"

Yang Huimei on the other end of the phone helplessly raised her forehead:

“Mr. Chang, we generally call your way of communication asking for bribes…”

Chang Haonan is just sweating profusely.

I didn't think so before, but now that Yang Huimei said it, it seems that it really means something like that.

“But it doesn't matter, as long as there is no problem with our company's products... I will handle the contract matters, don't worry...”

Yang Huimei quickly took over the rest of the work.

A few days later, the process research and development workshop of Xingcheng Special Steel.

Young process engineer Wu Hao took the newly optimized process flow chart in his hand, put a piece of M50NiL steel sample produced by the company into the multi-component co-infiltration furnace, and began to look at the parameters of the entire process with some numbness.

This is the countless time he has conducted similar experiments in a year.

Get the process parameters from the R&D director, 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 were not for the fact that the salary was not bad, he would not be able to survive half a day like this.

"Option 1: Co-infiltration for 6 hours, diffusion for 3 hours, nitrogen, hydrogen, ethanol ratio 0.20:0.20:0.15... Spheroidizing annealing at 680°C, first quenching at 850°C, second quenching at 1100°C, -80°C Perform cold treatment and high temperature tempering at 545℃..."

As required during the onboarding training, he repeated the entire process to himself.

“Wait...nitrogen?”

Wu Hao, who had already started to set the working mode of the multi-element co-infiltration furnace, suddenly stopped what he was doing and looked down at the data in front of him again.

This is when I discovered that today's process parameters are completely different from before.

I turned back to several other process plans and found that they were all quite different from before.

Logically speaking, this kind of process testing should be done step by step. Even if you change your thinking, there should not be such a big difference in one day.

And the process design is not that easy to change. Each time the design experiment is changed, the experiment must be stopped for several days.

“It's strange...Isn't it the wrong thing?”

He turned back to the first page of the process flow report and confirmed that the date was today and that it also had the signature of the chief craftsman Fang Manchang:

“Did Mr. Fang make a mistake?”

After hesitating for a moment, Wu Hao decided to call Fang Manchang:

"Hey, Mr. Fang, I see that our processing technology today is completely different from before. I want to confirm with you. I'm afraid I just got the wrong one from you..."

Fang Manchang, who was on the other side of the phone, was checking the data just submitted by another group of experimenters with his colleagues, and replied impatiently:

"That's right, that's it. Just do as above." After saying that, he hung up the phone.

In fact, Wu Hao is the least valued among the engineers under him. It has been more than a year since he joined the job, but there is still no significant progress. He has to ask many questions. Fortunately, his basic skills are good, so after the probation period, I still got a full-time job, but I was usually assigned to the job with the least importance.

Although Fang Manchang didn't have high expectations for the process design method he brought back from Chang Haonan this time, after all, it cost a huge sum of 7.5 million, and he couldn't just throw it aside even for the sake of money.

So he spent a few days working and found several typical craft plans based on that method, and then casually gave them to Wu Hao to do.

Even if you can't do it, you should still collect data.

“Is it the process you designed yesterday according to what new method?”

The colleague sitting opposite Fang Manchang held a magnifying glass in his hand and was looking down at the dense data on the form. He asked without raising his head.

“Yes, Wu Hao asked me if I had picked it up by mistake. It was indeed different from the ones he had made before.”

Fang Manchang shook his head. He felt that he might be engraved in the development history of Xingcheng Special Steel because of the decision he made a few days ago.

Just in a negative and typical way.

“You too, you actually took that thing seriously and even worked overtime for a few days to analyze it…”

While the colleague opposite was talking, he used a red pencil to circle a few from the pile of data, then put the magnifying glass aside and rubbed the corners of his sore eyes:

“It still doesn't work. The average mass wear rate has exceeded 5.5μg/N·m. This is still in the oil state. I don't dare to think about the data in the oil-off state..."

“There is no other way. Let's send this batch of samples for X-ray energy spectrometer analysis to see the wear and wear debris morphology,”

Fang Manchang has become accustomed to such results.

In fact, after Xingcheng Special Steel produced qualified M50 steel, it began to study the heat treatment plan of M50NiL. However, after a few years, the progress cannot be said to be satisfactory, or at least it can be said to be standing still.

70% of the samples have overall performance that is not as good as the old M50 material, and the remaining 30% have not improved much. Occasionally, there are a few outstanding features, but there are also fatal problems of one kind or another.

It's all waste.

However, he knew that metallurgical technology was advanced through so many trials and errors, so he could endure the loneliness.

“Let's analyze the next group.”

He said as he put on a new form.

The colleague sitting opposite sighed and picked up the magnifying glass again.

The boring work continued until late that night, and even two meals were delivered by people from the logistics department.

Fang Manchang finished reviewing the last experimental data, stood up from his chair, stretched and prepared to get off work.

When he first got up after sitting for a long time, he felt that his eyes were a little dark, and he held on to the table for a while before recovering.

When he stood up straight again, he found a panting man standing at the door.

“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 are really amazing...”

Wu Hao panted and put the A2-size data record in his hand on the table:

“The test results of these pieces of steel today are simply amazing…”

"ah?"

Fang Manchang was about to take off his work clothes and put on regular clothes, but he stopped halfway through unbuttoning:

“What is the result?”

“The process plan you gave me in the morning, there are 5 samples in total, and the worst test result is much better than the ones I made in the past..."

“Thank you Mr. Fang for giving me such a promising plan. I have always felt that you were biased against me. It's really…”

Fang Manchang could no longer hear what Wu Hao said.

He quickly opened 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 resistance part that had been bothering him before.

“0.114μg/N·m, 0121μg/N·m, 0,094μg/N·m…”

“What is your testing method?”

When the colleague next to me looked at the data in front of him, his first reaction was that the measurement was wrong.

Wu Hao, who had just expressed his gratitude, was stunned for a moment, and then immediately replied:

"This is the above requirement. The driving wheel curvature of the RCF3 rolling contact tester is R7mm, the diameter is φ200mm, the applied load is 5.7GPa contact stress, the rotation speed is 30000r/min, 4050 aviation lubricating oil is used and the oil supply is sufficient. The rolling contact test was carried out on the samples under normal temperature test conditions. The sample 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, judging from the surface data of wear resistance, corrosion resistance, surface hardening degree and ease of processing, this thing is simply a new generation. As for metal materials, when I was in school, I tested the M50NiL steel imported from Japan's Datong Steel, and many of its properties were not as good as this..."

Fang Manchang, who had not spoken for a long time, had only one thought in his mind:

“TMD, is this thing really useful?”
