Chapter 177 The workplace football game is eternal
Due to the successful research and development of high-strength automotive steel plates, Zou Yuan can now be considered high-spirited and will soon be officially appointed as the head of the Department of Steel Metallurgy of Capital Iron and Steel Institute. .
The most critical reason for achieving this result in such a short period of time is that Jiang Hui provided some relevant theoretical and technical information.
What he did more was to verify these technical data.
If Jiang Hui can come up with something constructive in the development of bearing steel, then maybe like the research and development of high-strength automobile steel plates, bearing steel technology can be realized in a relatively short period of time. breakthrough.
If that were the case, that would be extraordinary.
“The most important thing for the technological breakthrough of bearing steel is the adjustment of material formula and the setting of processing parameters, and the other is the technological improvement of processing equipment.”
“In a short period of time, we It is definitely difficult to make some big moves in terms of equipment. ”
“But by adjusting the material formula and processing parameters, we can still make some moves.”
“ Although this plan cannot immediately produce the world's most advanced bearing steel, it should not be a big problem if it initially meets the needs of our Hummer project."
When Jiang Hui said this, everyone, including Zou Yuan and Zhu Jiansheng, breathed a sigh of relief.
They all know Jiang Hui relatively well. Since Jiang Hui dares to say this, it means that he is really sure in his heart.
The most fearful thing about doing things is that there is no direction. Once you have a direction to work towards, many things will not be so anxiety-provoking.
"Xiao Jiang, do you have an idea now about how to adjust the material formula and process parameter settings?"
Zhu Jiansheng is the person who is under the most pressure.
A lot of manpower and material resources have been invested in the entire Hummer project. If the bearing steel matter stalls, his hair will probably turn gray.
“When I was studying books related to materials science, I had some ideas.”
“Recently, when I helped translate various foreign language materials for the First Machinery Department, some of them There is also some content related to special steel in the documents. "
"I will go back and sort it out in the next few days. When the time comes, a preliminary plan will come out."
Although Jiang Hui immediately said. It is possible to come up with a very mature bearing steel smelting plan, but it is still somewhat inappropriate to present it so abruptly.
"Okay, since you already have an idea, don't worry for a day or two."
"I will also go to Shougang to have a good look over the next few days and listen to their own ideas. .”
Zhu Jiansheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, no matter what technical problems you encounter, as long as you can find Jiang Hui, you can always find a solution.
……
Compared with the pressure relief on Zhu Jiansheng's side, the situation on Shougang's side is a bit embarrassing.
Although the Ministry of Metallurgy has previously required each steel plant to improve its technical level, it even allocates some special R&D funds every year.
However, Shougang's technological progress has been relatively slow in recent years. Even with the reform to expand business power this year, technological changes have been relatively limited.
In the past, the situation in all steel plants was similar. Everyone laughed at every step, and no one should laugh at anyone.
But now that the Capital Iron and Steel Plant, as the only reform demonstration manufacturer in the steel industry, is lagging behind in the national defense projects promoted by the Ministry of Machinery and Industry, the situation is definitely different.
You know, the Humvee military vehicle project has received great attention from the Fifth Machinery Department and other military departments.
The Ministry of Metallurgy even received a formal official letter requesting them to fully cooperate with the advancement of the project.
The early design work of the Hummer military vehicle went very smoothly, especially the clay model, which made everyone very satisfied. Automakers such as FAW and Second Automobile Works even want to snatch this project.
Looking at the preparation of prototype parts, prototype cars will be assembled in the next stage, but Shougang’s side fell apart.
The nature of this matter naturally began to change.
"Chief Engineer Zuo, we are now a grasshopper on a rope. If we are unable to produce qualified bearings, then there will be no suitable gearbox for the Hummer military vehicle."
< br>"When the time comes, let alone the First Machinery Department, the Fifth Machinery Department and the Metallurgical Department, even the military representatives will not give up."
Ji Hua arrived at Shougang early in the morning , prepare to discuss the response plan with Zuo Guangsheng.
Yesterday, the Capital Gear Factory also held several internal meetings to discuss various plans, but what they can do themselves is relatively limited.
Of course, Zuo Guangsheng may not necessarily think so.
"Chief Engineer Ji, there is indeed a gap between our domestic bearing steel technology and foreign advanced levels. I admit this."
"But what is provided to your factory Bearing steel is already the highest level material we can produce at this stage.”
“I think the problem of bearings not meeting the requirements is not the bearing steel, but the heat treatment during your bearing processing. The technical parameters are not set very well?”
Although improving the performance of bearing steel can definitely solve the current problem, Zuo Guangsheng will definitely not take all the responsibility.
After all, the quality of a bearing is indeed not only related to the material, but also inseparable from the processing technology.
He is not just shirking responsibility.
“The heat treatment process used in the bearing processing workshop of Capital Gear Factory is already a very advanced solution in China.”
“We have been supplying a large number of BJ212 and other products before, and there is no problem ”
“The most important thing now is that the wear resistance, toughness and other comprehensive properties of the bearing steel are not good enough, so the performance of the parts after processing is not up to standard.”
Seeing Shougang's intention to pass the blame, Ji Hua immediately stood up and refuted.
If Shougang is not persuaded and Zuo Guangsheng admits that the performance of the bearing steel he produces is not good enough, then the next step to improve it will definitely not be so smooth.
“There is indeed room for improvement in bearing steel, but the same goes for the processing technology.”
“If the design requirements can be met through improvements in the processing technology, it will be much simpler.”
Zuo Guangsheng knows that it is difficult for Shougang to significantly improve the performance of bearing steel in a short period of time.
He even felt that it would be difficult for other domestic steel plants to complete technological upgrades in a short period of time.
It is impossible for every technological breakthrough to be like high-strength automobile steel plates, which can complete technological upgrades in such a short period of time.
“We don’t need to argue about this issue first. The Capital Institute of Technology definitely doesn’t want to hear us arguing about these things.”
“The next thing that needs to be considered is how to make the bearing steel The performance has been improved.”
“Of course, our factory will also consider how to further optimize the processing technology so that the products we produce can ultimately meet the requirements of the Hummer project.”
Ji Hua knew that it would not make much sense to continue arguing. It would be better to think about how to solve the problem.
“We will also discuss this project internally, but the upgrading of steel technology is not that simple.”
Zuo Guangsheng saw that Ji Hua did not necessarily take all the responsibility. The meaning on his head also relaxed his attitude.
