Chapter 1425: Alloy for Steel
Thinking of the next research on semi-automatic machine tools, Yang Xiaotao had a headache.
Because he himself didn’t know the materials required for many of the components.
In other words, even if it is found in China, it cannot be self-produced and it will be difficult to produce it on a large scale in the future.
Just like the original Daystar, it was extremely difficult to find some tungsten alloy at the beginning. Later, the problem of smelting tungsten alloy was solved, and now Daystar has begun to slowly promote it.
Even because of the emergence of aluminum alloys and tungsten alloys, the number of domestic machine tools has increased significantly. In this way, the domestic machinery industry has ushered in a development climax.
Therefore, the quality of materials is crucial to the research of machine tools.
Yang Xiaotao has seen the machine tool design drawings made by the R&D Department. It can be said that this design only follows the model of semi-automatic lathes and milling machines. He has never thought about the semi-automation of this kind of mother machine. A completely different path.
Yang Xiaotao also warned Chen Bin and others, but now it seems that they are still hitting the south wall on this road.
In addition to the wrong design ideas, the more important thing is that the materials used are not standardized.
Among the materials provided by steel plants, aluminum alloys and even tungsten-copper alloys are the best.
As a result, they never thought about the need for materials with other properties.
So much so that tungsten copper alloy and aluminum alloy are used in important places. As a result, the machine tools produced lack sufficient toughness, and the accuracy requirements are naturally difficult to meet.
Now, Yang Xiaotao has a complete set of drawings of the machine tool obtained from Alphard, and the design will not be a problem.
But the materials needed were something Yang Xiaotao couldn't solve.
"Mr. Yang? Mr. Yang?"
Yang Xiaotao was still thinking about the materials. Lou Xiao'e saw that he was lost in thought. After waiting for a while, there was still no response, so she couldn't help but speak.
"Ah, what's wrong?"
"That!"
Lou Xiao'e suddenly smiled, "I have something to do this afternoon!"
"Ask for leave?"
"Yeah!"
"Okay, just in the afternoon!"
"Yeah!"
Lou Xiao'e was almost happy Jump up, then return to the desk and continue organizing files.
Yang Xiaotao took out a piece of paper and wrote out the transcribed analysis data from the space.
Looking at the three sets of data on the paper, they should represent three alloys.
Yang Xiaotao doesn't know if these alloys have been made in China, but given the situation that China doesn't even understand aluminum alloys, it is estimated that these three alloys will be difficult.
In addition to these three alloys, Yang Xiaotao also has tinplate production skills acquired from the system.
This alloy is equally important to the country and will be of great use in the future.
In other words, there are now three alloys that need to be researched on their proportions. If they are the best in the country, but if not, then they have to conduct process research and produce them themselves.
This is not a simple matter.
As for tinplate, this can be left to Lao Dao and let the research institute study it.
After all, the research institute's alloy research has hit a bottleneck during this period. Leaving this to the veterans can also give this group of people something to do.
In addition, after the research is completed, it will be of great help to all walks of life.
That is, this kind of production takes up too much resources of the steel plant.
If more alloys are produced, the amount of steel produced will decrease.
He often heard Yang Youning talk about the lack of steel in the machinery factory.
“We have to find a way!”
Yang Xiaotao kept turning the pencil in his hand, thinking for a moment, and then he came up with an idea.
…
Two days later.
Yang Xiaotao came to the steel plant to check the situation.
This is also the first time Yang Xiaotao has come to the steel plant in person since returning from abroad.
In the past, Lou Xiaoe would always call to inquire about the situation, so when she heard that Yang Xiaotao was coming this time, she immediately became energetic. Not only was she greeted at the gate, but many people from the steel plant and research institute came.
When Yang Xiaotao came to the steel plant and saw this situation, he didn't say much. He just visited the steel plant under the leadership of Guan Zhiyong to learn about the recent production conditions.
In the conference room.
Yang Xiaotao sat at the top, and Guan Zhiyong and An Zhongsheng led the leadership teams of the steel plant and the research institute respectively.
"Mr. Yang, except for the special-purpose open-hearth furnaces, all other large boilers in the steel plant have been converted into converters."
"The output has increased three times compared with last year!"
After Guan Zhiyong finished talking about the recent development of the steel plant, there was not much joy on his face.
Because he knows Yang Xiaotao, even if they don't tell them about his achievements, Mr. Yang will remember them and they will not be missing at all.
Just like before, when their steel factory suffered losses, they still enjoyed the benefits of the machinery factory.
Now it has become a leader in the steel industry.
Especially after the research on alloys, there are only a few steel plants in the country that produce alloys.
If their steel plant wasn't just a branch of the Machinery Factory, it would have been on par with those key steel plants.
But if you think about it this way, if a branch factory can compare with a famous big factory, then how strong is the machinery factory?
It is the existence of this idea that gives workers in the steel plant an extra sense of pride.
Yang Xiaotao nodded, then took the document handed over by Lou Xiaoe behind him and spoke solemnly.
“I have seen the information you submitted.”
Guan Zhiyong and others all looked nervous. There was nothing else to explain in detail. If the current usage of the machinery factory is used, the steel plant will not be able to meet the demand in less than two months, which will become a stumbling block restricting the development of the machinery factory. .
A few people looked at Yang Xiaotao and saw that Yang Xiaotao's face was calm.
"An Gong, how is the alloy production situation at your place?"
When An Zhongsheng heard the question, he immediately spoke.
"Mr. Yang, based on the current investment, the steel plant's tungsten copper alloy and aluminum alloy production will increase by 5% per month."
"However, due to the increasing demand from all walks of life, the tasks for alloy production are still increasing during this period."
"Production is still very tight."
An Zhongsheng finished speaking, and then continued What came to mind, "Mr. Yang, among these, the consumption within our machinery factory is the largest."
Yang Xiaotao nodded to express understanding. After all, the number of air conditioners produced by the machinery factory is increasing day by day. Now important domestic enterprises and institutions have already Air conditioning is installed. The textile factory is even more wealthy. Each workshop is equipped with air conditioning to replace the previous diesel engine-fan, which makes the entire Forty-Nine City envious.
Yang Youning heard that Duba Jizui was indeed the place with the most women in Sijiu City, and the money it should be spent on was unambiguous.
What’s more important is that the leaders above don’t dare not approve it, otherwise they will just wait at night.
Yang Xiaotao recovered his thoughts and then raised the question.
“Since everyone knows it, that’s why I’m here this time.”
“I can give you a bottom line. In the future, the steel demand for machinery plants will be The current multiple is not an exaggeration, but we need to do a lot in the future.”
"Each of the projects planned to be launched is the focus of the machinery factory, and each of them is a giant beast that eats steel."
"If the steel factory cannot meet the demand, we will miss a lot."
After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Guan Zhiyong and others looked at each other with pressure and motivation in their eyes.
Machinery factories are getting better and better, and they can follow the rising tide.
As for whether it can be done, they have not considered it.
Mr. Yang said it, so it must be right.
"Mr. Yang, we have also discussed this."
"If you want to increase production, there are two ways."
Guan Zhiyong has obviously done his homework, In fact, when working under Yang Xiaotao, if you are not smart and prepared in advance, your impression score with Yang Xiaotao will be easily reduced.
“Say it!”
Yang Xiaotao picked up the enamel jar and drank tea. Guan Zhiyong nodded and took out the prepared plan from the above folder without any stage fright.
"Mr. Yang, the first one is to expand the scale. We plan to build two 100-ton converters from this year to next year, so that the output will at least double!"
Seeing Yang Xiaotao nodding after hearing this, Guan Zhiyong felt relieved. After all, this is the most direct way to increase production capacity.
Just a little expansion of the scale is not just a matter of saying a few words. It not only needs to be reported to the superiors, but can only be started after approval by the superiors.
In addition, the factory’s land area, human resources, engineering construction, etc. are all troublesome.
But as long as Yang Xiaotao agrees, the machinery factory will be passed, and things above will be easy.
“The second one is to shorten the processing process.”
Yang Xiaotao raised his head and became interested, “Tell me more specifically.”
“Yes!”
Guan Zhiyong then explained the method that the steel manufacturer had prepared.
Yang Xiaotao suddenly realized that the so-called shortening of the processing process actually means handing over the iron ore smelting process in the early stage of steelmaking to other steelmaking plants.
Of course, these are all small local factories. Let them perform processing, refine the rough embryos and then transport them to the steelmaking plant. What should be processed, what should be made into alloys.
"In this way, our overall efficiency can be increased by about 20%."
An Zhongsheng also added that this plan was the result of their discussions.
"Mr. Yang, we have contacted steel plants in several other places, and they have no objections to this."
Guan Zhiyong looked at Yang Xiaotao and said seriously.
Yang Xiaotao, however, drank tea from the enamel jar and was not in a hurry to express his position.
When it comes to local matters, it is not enough to simply talk about it.
"In what ways will you cooperate?"
After hearing this, Guan Zhiyong looked at An Zhongsheng, what other ways will this cooperation be divided into?
Wouldn't it be enough to just give them some tasks and have them send them over?
Both of them thought so and didn't know what to say for a while.
Yang Xiaotao put down his cup, "First of all, the local steel plants are not our subordinates. Cooperating with us is a matter of friendship, not a duty."
"Now that I can cooperate with us, I will encounter After the incident, you can refuse to cooperate."
The two looked at each other and did not think about it.
"Also, we can ask superiors to assign tasks to them, but the completion of tasks is flexible. The local steel plants themselves have to undertake local construction tasks. This needs to be negotiated with the local government."
Guan Zhiyong was a little restless and didn't take these problems seriously, but now that he thought about it, they were more in contact with the steel factory and forgot about local matters.
“This matter is essentially feasible, but we must think more about the issues and consider all aspects.”
Guan Zhiyong nodded after hearing this.
Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao no longer struggled with this issue, "I agree with your two solutions."
Everyone smiled after hearing this.
“However, I have another idea here.”
Everyone looked at Yang Xiaotao again.
“I looked at the production of alloys and steel.”
“The more alloys are produced, the more they take up the share of steel. There is an interaction between the two.”
>
"So, starting from today, the alloy production will be appropriately increased."
Guan Zhiyong and An Zhongsheng looked at each other, somewhat confused.
Then Yang Xiaotao explained again, "The excess produced alloys will not participate in the distribution. They are the internal resources of our steel plant."
"These alloys will be used to exchange for steel. ”
“Alloy for steel?”
Guan Zhiyong shouted out immediately, and Yang Xiaotao nodded slightly.
An Zhongsheng's eyes lit up, the production of this alloy is not easy, and the output is much more difficult than steel.
It can be said that the time and material resources required to produce a boiler of tungsten-copper alloy can completely produce three times the steel, and even four or five times the production can be done once the operation is completed!
Everyone present thought of something, and looked at Yang Xiaotao with more admiration.
Only Yang Xiaotao dares to say this kind of thing, otherwise if they bring it up, several big guys from the Third Machinery Department and the Seventh Machinery Department will come and kill them in minutes.
Even the boss of the First Machinery Department will have opinions.
But this is what Mr. Yang proposed, so that’s different!
"Mr. Yang, I think it's okay."
"We can calculate the production status of the alloy based on the current steel production demand, and then mark the exchange standards to meet the shortfall. ..."
An Zhongsheng began to calculate the price in his mind, and Guan Zhiyong had the same expression.
"You make up your own mind about this matter, but one thing is that the share of alloy given to each department before today cannot be less."
"And those who exchange for steel can be given priority."
" Got it!”
