Chapter 461 The technical puzzle of high-performance aviation engines

“Are they so open-minded?”

The attitude of the Russians is indeed unexpected. After all, the change in thinking from selling technology to exchanging technology for technology is not that easy to complete.

“Hey... Yao Gong just said it right. Once it is familiar, it will be familiar again. They are all willing to work with us to modify the Su-27, so naturally they will not care about these small things..."

He Ming shrugged as he said:

"Furthermore, although neither side of us has publicized the Royal Navy's failure in the South China Sea, the British themselves know it. The Russians must have received the news earlier and will check with us about the situation. , it is not difficult to guess the origin of the story..."

"At the beginning, Lao Maozi came up with the article that both sides have equal rights to the technology within the framework of Project 11 and asked for sharing, but I told them that this was developed independently by the Ministry of Electronics Industry and was not related to Project 11. It doesn't matter, only later…”

He then briefly introduced the ins and outs of the whole matter.

“If that's the case…it's really worth trading…”

Chang Haonan nodded in agreement without too long of hesitation.

Multi-arc ion plating, a vapor deposition coating technology developed on the basis of vacuum evaporation technology and vacuum sputtering technology.

Due to its advantages of safety, high deposition rate, and good film adhesion, it is one of the most important process methods in the field of coating manufacturing in the past and next twenty years.

Almost all high-end machining fields are inseparable from coating manufacturing.

From the hard wear-resistant coating on the surface of machine tool tools to extend the service life, to the thickening treatment on the outer surface of bearings to enhance endurance, to the thermal barrier coating on the surface of spacecraft components to mitigate the huge temperature difference in space layer, as well as what Chang Haonan urgently needs right now, the high-temperature corrosion-resistant coating on the surface of the aircraft engine turbine blades, all require the same type of technology for production and manufacturing.

In the past, the multi-arc ion plating equipment available in China were all very low-grade and backward models. Not only were the coatings of poor quality, they also had various restrictions on coating materials. Therefore, most of these components could only be directly imported. Of course, You can't buy anything with particularly high specifications.

Obviously, Lao Maozi has done his homework.

Exchanging key electrochemical processes for electronic warfare technology, this wave is basically equivalent to learning from each other's strengths and weaknesses.

In fact, unlike many stereotypes, the electronics industry during the Soviet period, especially after the 1980s, developed quite rapidly, and even the gap with the United States was basically only a few years.

However, the problem is that these industries are concentrated within Belarus and the three Baltic countries. After the disintegration of the alliance, almost no legacy was left to the current Russian Federation.

At the end of the 1980s, there was a difference of a few years. After nearly a decade of complete stagnation, by the end of the 1990s, the difference is more than twenty years.

After all, the entire 1990s was an era of explosive growth in the electronics industry. If you miss this dividend period, the loss will be far more than just 10 years on paper.

The situation in electrochemistry is exactly the opposite.

Although multi-arc ion plating technology was first put into commercial use by Multi-Arc and Vac-Tec, few people know that a considerable part of their key technologies were actually purchased from the Soviet Union in the late 1970s...

That's right, even at the height of the Cold War, the two sides of the Iron Curtain did not completely cut off technological exchanges and exchanges.

The reason Chang Haonan knows this is because there was a Russian-made STANKIN-NBC-1 multifunctional coating system in his laboratory in his previous life.

Although it is not his own project direction, among the devices with Chinese and English operating interfaces, the unique Russian interface of this device really gave the entire research team a headache for a long time.

In the end, a dozen or so people compared the Russian dictionary word by word before they could barely figure out how to operate it.

Not to mention, it is really easy to use. The bonding strength of the film layer of the sample produced exceeds 100N, which is almost three times the bonding strength of the sample purchased from a third country...

In short, if this deal can be done, it will definitely be a good thing for both parties.

However, Chang Haonan quickly gave another instruction:

"If you want to exchange, you must remember to bring a controlled planar arc evaporator and a fast neutral molecular beam source during the negotiation. At least the equipment must be obtained. These two things are independent components outside the coating equipment, but they play a role "In addition, there are electronic heating and gas ion sputtering cleaning, which can allow metal particles to pass through the isolation screen and enter the interior of the cavity. Coating the workpieces cleaned by sputtering in the cavity is very important for our turbine blades and future machine tool production, so not only the equipment, but also the technology must be obtained, even if it costs a little more..."

At this point, he suddenly stopped, glanced at He Ming next to him, and shook his head helplessly:

“Oh, forget it, I'll write you a memo when I get back. You probably won't be able to remember it now...”

"I…"

He Ming felt as if he had been slighted.

He wanted to refute, but he couldn't.

Because he really didn't remember...

Lies will never hurt, the truth is the sharpest knife.

Chang Haonan's speech speed was already relatively fast, and He Ming himself was not an expert in the relevant field. Four consecutive proper nouns that were slightly awkward to pronounce immediately shut him down.

“Then I'll trouble Comrade Haonan...”

Fortunately, He Ming's mentality was good and he quickly adjusted back:

“But speaking of which, you actually do research on electrochemistry?”

Although he had a lot of contact with Chang Haonan, it was basically limited to the period of the August 3rd Project, and his understanding of the latter was obviously not comprehensive enough.

“That's not true. I haven't learned much about chemistry other than physical chemistry since I went to college. I may get involved in it in the future, but definitely not now.”

Chang Haonan waved his hands and denied:

“It's just that I'm leading a team to work on the turbofan 10 recently. Many parts are inseparable from high-performance coatings. I just read some information and I understand it, but I can't talk about research.”

He is indeed not modest. If he really understands electrochemistry, why would he need to exchange technology for technology? He can just develop his own set and be done with it.

In fact, he has never had serious contact with chemistry in his whole life, and the current situation does not allow him to learn it slowly from scratch.

Even if there was no such thing, Chang Haonan would still like to buy a few of the same model that he used in his previous life.

The third-generation turbofan engine is an extremely difficult peak for China's current industrial foundation. In this process, every possible method must be used.

“Turbofan 10…”

Speaking of this matter, He Ming immediately became energetic:

“Comrade Haonan, do you have a rough plan? When can our J-11 use domestic aviation engines?”

As the deputy chief engineer of an aircraft manufacturer, he only has a general understanding of aerospace engineering projects.

"This...of course it is possible. Within five years, we will completely get rid of our third-generation aircraft's dependence on imports within five years."

Chang Haonan's plan is to at least have the J-11 equipped with a full-state prototype equipped with a domestic engine during the 1999 military parade, but his habit has always been to keep his words to himself.

Of course, even the unspecified plan was enough to surprise He Ming:

“Look at it this way, before I retire, is there still a chance to build a 100% domestically produced third-generation fighter jet?”

"certainly…"
