Chapter 445 Is it really useful?
Torch Company’s first big order was completed somewhat inexplicably.
Before 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 TORC Multiphysics was still in the trial stage, so there was no charging problem, and even if it was 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 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, his whole body They all became excited:
“Mr. Chang, do you need me to come forward to negotiate the price with the other party?”
"Uh... No, no, I've finished the negotiation. You can find someone to draw up a more formal contract. We will sign it tomorrow."
Chang Haonan still felt a little unreal at this time. Although 15 million did not go into his personal account, it was indeed the largest amount of money he had ever directly handled.
"Have you finished talking...?"
According to the plan agreed upon by the two, today should be just a preliminary contact, followed by formal negotiations between the two parties.
But obviously there was a huge deviation in the direction of the story, which made Yang Huimei a little stunned for a while.
Combined with Chang Haonan's tone just now, as if her body had been hollowed out, she immediately had a bad feeling:
"Mr. Chang, you didn't agree to any harsh conditions for them, did you?"< br>
"No, no, in fact we didn't talk at all. They fully accepted our conditions and are now waiting to sign the contract."
I don't know if it was Chang Haonan's illusion, he felt The tone of the other party just now was like a mother who was worried about her son being bullied outside...
"Overall..."
Yang Huimei suddenly had a doubt about her significance in this company:
"Mr. Chang, can you tell me how you negotiated..."
"I..."
Chang Haonan briefly reviewed the entire negotiation process today.
"Uh..."
Yang Huimei on the other end of the phone helplessly raised her forehead:
"Mr. Chang, we are generally accustomed to calling your way of communication asking for bribes..."
"..."
Chang Haonan was just sweating.
I didn’t think so before, but now that Yang Huimei said it, it seemed to mean 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 subsequent work.
……
A few days later, the process research and development workshop of Xingcheng Special Steel.
Wu Hao, a young process engineer, 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 numbly.
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 and entering this company last year, Wu Hao has almost been doing such boring and repetitive work. If it were not for the fact that the salary was not bad, he would have spent half a day like this. Can't go down anymore.
"Plan 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, and second quenching at 1100°C Secondary quenching, cold treatment at -80°C, high temperature tempering at 545°C..."
According to the requirements of the induction 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 coinfiltration furnace, suddenly stopped what he was doing and looked down at the data in front of him again.
It was then that I discovered that today’s process parameters were completely different from before.
Looking back to several other process plans, I found that they were all quite different from before.
Logically speaking, this kind of process flow testing should be step-by-step. Even if the idea is changed, there should not be such a big difference in one day.
Moreover, the process design is not so easy to change. Each time the design experiment is changed, the experiment must be stopped for several days.
“It’s strange...you got it by mistake, right?”
He turned back to the first page of the process flow report and confirmed that the date was today, and that there was also a chief craftsman. Fang Manchang's signature:
"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 is on the other side of the phone. Together with my colleagues, I checked the data just submitted by another group of experimenters. I replied impatiently:
"Yes, that's it. Just follow the above." After that, he hung up. Telephone.
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, and he has many questions to ask. Fortunately, he had good basic skills, so he became a regular employee after the probationary period, but he was usually assigned to the job of 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 process plans based on that method, and then casually gave them to Wu Hao to do.
Even if you can’t do it, it’s still time to collect data.
"Is this 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, his head spinning. asked without looking up.
"Yes, Wu Hao asked me if I took the wrong one. It is indeed different from the ones he made before."
Fang Manchang shook his head. He felt that he might be engraved in Xingcheng Special because of the decision he made a few days ago. The history of steel development.
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 speaking, the colleague opposite used a red pencil to circle out a pile of data. A few, then put the magnifying glass aside and rubbed the sore corners of his 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 way. , send this batch of samples for X-ray energy spectrometer analysis to see the wear and wear debris morphology,”
Fang Manchang is used 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, at least it can be said to be standing still. .
The overall performance of 70% of the samples is not as good as that of the old M50 material, and the remaining 30% has not improved much. Occasionally, there are a few outstanding features, but there are also fatal problems of one kind or another.
All in all it's waste.
However, he knew that metallurgical technology was advanced through so many trials and errors, so he could bear the loneliness.
“Let’s analyze the next group.”
He said and put in 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.
After reviewing the last experimental data, Fang Manchang 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 a little dark in front of his eyes. 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 amazing..."
"Huh?"
Fang Manchang was about to take off his work clothes and put on regular clothes, but he stopped halfway through unbuttoning the buttons. Come down:
“What is the result?”
“The process plan you gave me this morning, there are 5 samples in total, the worst test result is better than the ones I made in the past I don’t know how many..."
"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 Wu Hao's words. .
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?"
The colleague next to him looked at the data in front of him, and his first reaction was that the test was wrong.
Wu Hao, who had just expressed his gratitude, was stunned for a moment, and then immediately replied:
"This is the requirement above. The curvature of the driving wheel of the RCF3 rolling contact tester is R7mm curved surface, diameter φ200mm, applied load of 5.7GPa contact stress, rotation speed of 30000r/min, 4050 aviation lubricating oil with sufficient oil supply, and rolling contact test on the samples under normal temperature test conditions. The specifications of the two material samples are φ20. ×50mm..."
"Mr. Fang, although the durability test has not been done yet, and the metallographic structure has not been observed, from the aspects of wear resistance, corrosion resistance, surface hardening degree and ease of processing, Judging from the surface data, this thing is simply a new generation of metal material. 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?”
