Chapter 19 TC4 Titanium Aluminum Alloy
After confirming that the system could parse smaller units, Chen Nian immediately realized a serious problem:
The speed of source point acquisition is really too slow.
According to the current progress, just one most known titanium alloy material will cost 0.1 source points.
Although it didn't look like much, it was only the amount he could produce in three days.
How long would it take to build an F-22?
Even if we only solve the most critical problems, the sum total is not a small number.
The final result may not be much faster than the state's own research, which means it will have a slight advantage in cost.
Therefore, we must find ways to increase the accumulation speed of source points.
In other words, if you want to find a way to learn with the highest efficiency, you must learn the content with the highest output value from the source.
To do this, the first step is to select the direction.
"Remember, I'm already making arrangements. What, can't wait?"
"Who is this person? Arriving into the laboratory in a big way?"
"The results of the model verification are out, the data is very good, very good!"
"Okay, then you can do it yourself."
Although he said that, Chen Nian was able to accurately explain the manufacturing process of β-type titanium-aluminum alloy, which surprised Chen Guo.
Two problems, solved at once.
"no."
"I don't dare to take it seriously. I haven't achieved anything."
As long as it passes theoretical verification, the results of the subsequent wind tunnel will definitely be correct.
"I see."
"Does he really understand what powder metallurgy is? He didn't just read a concept in a book and then came here to mess around, right?"
"What is the most efficient thing?"
"Yes, the information density is the highest!"
"No, I don't want to change my major, but I want to take another course in materials science, and the class hours should be increased!"
But this is not a big deal to him. The system has already given him a full set of knowledge - including equipment operation.
Chen Nian smiled modestly and replied:
Material science is indeed the most important discipline in the history of human industrial application, and it deserves its reputation.
"Just understand."
An hour later, Chen Nian rushed to the materials laboratory of the Western Research Institute, and Guo Qi was already waiting for him there.
"I understand, Professor Chen. I can participate remotely when the time comes. But I have something I need your help with now. Do you still remember the last time I told you about how many teachers I wanted?"
"If you can keep up with your energy, it won't be a big problem. I'll help you make arrangements."
Chen Nian shook his head and continued:
Chen Guo on the other end of the phone was shocked.
"Can you persuade him to leave?"
"It requires powder casting, hot isostatic pressing, and beta annealing. I don't know if our laboratory has this condition."
With simulation data, he would have a stronger reason to provide internal structure drawings.
Even the J-20 uses only TC4-DT titanium alloy with relatively low strength and poor ductility.
"Next step, we will enter the practical verification phase. We will apply for funds to build a physical blowing tunnel for the aircraft. We will need you to supervise and guide us at that time. Let's put aside the school affairs for the time being."
"As far as I know, there is, but it's not enough for you to know the process principles. Many of the processing details cannot be imagined."
"I understand, don't worry."
"But let me tell you in advance, we only have one powder die-casting machine here, and it is very expensive. I will arrange for someone to take you to do it together. Without his instructions, you must not mess around."
"It doesn't matter whether you dare or not, Lao Guo has already agreed. Let's take a look at it later and just deal with him."
It is obvious that they look down on Chen Nian.
Hearing Chen Guo's answer, Chen Nian had a feeling that "it's true".
"He is from the Aviation Institute of NPU. It is said that he is engaged in aircraft design. I don't know how I got him to get through the relationship. He can even borrow our laboratory."
Sure enough, there will be no problems with the system.
But fortunately, he is confident that he will never be restricted by the so-called "university major". As long as it is what he wants to learn, the official will satisfy him as much as possible.
Although this type of alloy is widely used in the aviation field, it is also often used in the medical field, so it is not surprising that Guo Qi asked this.
"You mean information density?"
".You do it yourself? How?"
"Hey, no matter how worldly you are, you can't make fun of this thing. He not only wants to use the casting machine, but also uses HIP. I won't talk about it anymore."
After that, Guo Qi took Chen Nian into the laboratory, and in the laboratory, several experimenters who had learned about the situation in advance were gathering together and whispering.
"Regardless of whether you have grades or not, if you can be recognized by Professor Chen, you are definitely not an ordinary person. I heard that you want to synthesize beta-type titanium-aluminum alloy? What use? It won't be medical, right?"
After all, if he doesn't have any stuff and just draws a structural diagram, when others ask, he can't just show his hand and say that he is guilty.
Inferring the structure based on simulated data is at least somewhat reasonable.
Should we take the theoretical route or the applied route?
These are all problems.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Nian let out a long sigh of relief.
"No, it's just in the aviation field - it's actually of no use at the moment, it's just to test an idea of mine."
"If this thing breaks, it will be difficult for us to find replacement parts."
At this moment, everyone felt that Chen Nian was just a stupid young man who came to the laboratory to brush up his qualifications.
"But be careful not to damage their equipment - you know, their funds are also tight."
"Farewell, please have a better attitude. It's all human nature."
"Chen Nian, right? I heard that you are Professor Chen's favorite student."
After hearing his words, Chen Nian nodded slightly.
"Freshman year."
In this regard, China has always stayed at the laboratory preparation stage.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, he received a notification from Chen Guo that Guo Qi, an expert in powder metallurgy at the Xiyan Research Institute, agreed to his request and was willing to lend him the equipment.
Chen Nian nodded quickly.
"Okay, I'll help you contact them. You don't need to use the school's laboratory. Use the one at the Western Research Institute. It will be handled according to confidentiality procedures."
The phone rang several times before it was connected. Chen Guo's voice sounded a little tired.
"Freshman?! Are you kidding?! I don't dare let him use our equipment!"
But the problem is that the entire Xiyan Research Institute has no experience in powder die-casting titanium alloys before, so Chen Nian can only do it by himself.
"What I mean is that I need to find a subject in which I can learn the most per unit of time while investing a fixed amount of time and energy."
How many surprises are there that he has not shown in front of him?
"I know, that's why it's called an experiment. If it succeeds, we can make a big step forward in fuselage materials."
"Hey, Xiao Chen, I just wanted to call you."
"I want to trial-produce Ti-6Al-4V titanium aluminum alloy."
"There is a high probability that today's students are all tough and dare to do anything."
Chen Guo on the other end was a little confused. According to his understanding, there is no distinction between subjects. As for the efficiency of learning, isn't it decided by the person who studies?
Thinking of this, Chen Nian immediately took out his cell phone and called Chen Guo.
Should you study underlying subjects or applied subjects? Study a single subject or a composite subject?
"What?"
"I would like to ask you to help me conduct a survey and select the most efficient direction in the following directions: materials science, mechanics, mathematics, and thermal science."
Of course, the use of secondary materials also objectively reduces the weight of the body, but that’s another story.
Now, as a student without any material science background, Chen Nian is not easy to just know the chemical formula of titanium-aluminum alloy. He can actually name the hot isostatic pressing process.
You must know that the manufacturing of this type of alloy is extremely difficult. Even more than 20 years later, only the United States, Japan, and Russia have achieved large-scale mass production.
"Thank you very much. One more thing, I would like to borrow the school's materials laboratory."
"You want to use the materials lab? What do you want to do?"
"Don't think about it, it must be materials science. Do you want to change your major?"
"Oh PhD student?"
After all, in their eyes, qualifications may not be important, but knowledge must be the first criterion to judge whether a person is good or not.
And how much knowledge can a freshman student have?
What's more, it's cross-professional
But what they didn't know was that the first second they saw the huge die-casting machine and the HIP hot isostatic pressing equipment next to it, a series of subsequent actions had already appeared in Chen Nian's mind.
This wave is stable.
