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, from selling technology to exchanging technology for technology, this The mental shift in between is not that easy to accomplish.
"Hey... Yao Gong was right just now. Once they are familiar with each other, they will risk their lives to modify the Su-27 with us, so naturally they won't care about these little 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 context..."
"At first, 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 It was developed independently by the Ministry of Electronics Industry and has nothing to do with Project No. 11. It was only later..."
He briefly introduced the ins and outs of the whole thing.
"If this is the case... then it is indeed worth trading..."
Chang Haonan nodded in agreement without too long of hesitation.
Multi-arc ion plating is 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 surface of spacecraft components used to slow down in space Thermal barrier coatings with huge temperature differences, and what Chang Haonan urgently needs most right now, the high-temperature corrosion-resistant coating on the surface of 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, but they also had various restrictions on coating materials. Therefore, most of this type of components were It can only be imported directly, and of course you can't buy anything with particularly high specifications.
Obviously, Lao Maozi has done his homework.
Exchanging electronic warfare technology with key electrochemical processes, this wave is basically equivalent to learning from each other's strengths and weaknesses.
In fact, unlike many stereotypes, the electronics industry developed very rapidly during the Soviet period, especially after the 1980s, and even the gap with the United States was basically only a few years.
However, the problem is that these industries are concentrated in 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 was 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 the 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...
Yes, even at the peak 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 was 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, more than a dozen people compared word by word in the Russian dictionary before they could barely figure out the operation method.
Not to mention, it’s really easy to use. The bonding strength of the film layer of the produced sample exceeds 100N, which is almost three times the bonding strength of the sample purchased from a third country...
In short, this If a deal can be made, 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 "It is the core function. If not, the actual use effect will be greatly reduced." "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, which will prevent the metal particles from passing through." 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..."
< br>
Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped, glanced at He Ming next to him, and shook his head helplessly:
"Oh, forget it, I will write you a letter when I get back. Memo, I guess you can’t 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 won't hurt, the truth is the sharpest knife.
Chang Haonan speaks quickly, and He Ming himself is not an expert in the relevant field. Four consecutive proper nouns that were slightly awkward to pronounce directly caused him to shut down.
"Then I'll trouble Comrade Haonan..."
Fortunately, He Ming had a good attitude and quickly adjusted back:
"But speaking of it, 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 hand in denial and said:
"It's just that I'm leading a team to work on turbofan 10 recently. Many parts are inseparable from high-performance coatings. I just read some information and I think I understand. Research is out of the question. "
He is indeed not modest. If he really understands electrochemistry, why bother to exchange technology for technology? He can just develop one himself.
In fact, he has never had serious contact with chemistry in his entire life, and the current situation does not allow him to learn it slowly from scratch.
Even if there was no such thing, Chang Haonan still wanted to buy a few of the same model that he had 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 suddenly became energetic:
"Comrade Haonan, do you have a rough plan? , When will our J-11 be able to use domestic aviation engines? "
As the deputy chief engineer of the aircraft manufacturer, he only has a general understanding of the aviation engine projects.
"Is this... of course there is, within five years, within five years we will completely get rid of our third-generation aircraft's dependence on imports."
Chang Haonan's plan is to at least let our third-generation aircraft be free from imports during the 1999 military parade. The J-11 equipped with a full-state prototype of a domestic engine appeared on the scene, but his habit has always been to keep his words to himself.
Of course, even the unfinished plan is enough to surprise He Ming:
“Look at it this way, before I retire, there is still a chance to build a 100% domestically produced aircraft. A third-generation fighter?"
"Of course..."
