1019 Challenge 15,000 tons of free forging in two years
(I'm really sorry, there are a few updates these days. Last night, I was wandering with Tianhai Xiangyun, Huang Shiren, and Wu'anjun. Today, Tianhai Xiangyun took me to his friend's house for tea again... There are many things in the past few days, and there are few updates. I hope everyone understands that it will be fine after these days!)
The trial production was successful. Considering the problem of changing the mold, 100 sets of main landing gears will be produced continuously this time to replace the main beam of the fighter with greater pressure demand. Therefore, production is still continuing, so there is no need for Liu Yijiu and others to stay here to watch the fun.=
Qi Hao once again suggested that the leader would give the ink treasures. Qi Hao wrote down Liu Yijiu's words and gave them to Erzhong. Liu Yijiu didn't care at all.
Liu Yijiu did not intend to participate in the celebration banquet prepared by the second level, but in the end Qi Hao and others all spoke, so he could only stay here for a while.
"Director Jiang, the 70,000-ton large press project has been completed. I wonder what plans do you have next?" Liu Yijiu sat next to Jiang Wen at the noon celebration banquet, and asked Jiang Wen while the other leaders were drinking.
Jiang Wen was stunned and immediately looked at Zheng Hao not far away. The latter was toasting Qi Hao and others, but he didn't even look at him.
For a moment, Jiang Wen didn't know whether Liu Yijiu was asking about their plans for technical research projects or production layout.
Immediately I was too lazy to waste my brain cells and asked Liu Yijiu directly, "Director Liu, we hope that the next step is to expand cooperation with the Ninth Hospital..."
"Cooperation is OK, but it is not enough to have only 70,000 tons of die forging machines at present. We have too many heavy equipment core parts in China that require this kind of equipment for forging." Liu Yijiu said lightly.
Jiang Wen didn't understand what he meant at all.
"We plan to build another 70,000 tons press!" Jiang Wen looked at Liu Yijiu's expression without any change, "or challenged 80,000 tons."
"Building another one is naturally no problem. 7,000 tons of large die forging machine is enough to use at present. At least 20 years are enough. There are many businesses in China that need to use large forging machines. If you make two or three, you won't have no business..." Liu Yijiu naturally has nothing to do with producing one or two such giants.
There are not many large forging machines in the world with over 40,000 tons. Many of them are concentrated in the hands of the Soviet Union and the United States, and there are not many in Europe.
The Republic had only one 80,000 tons at the beginning, and many production plans were even five years later. After it was manufactured, the new model came out again, and the original design was wasted.
Eventually, production had to be expanded.
The problem is that what the Republic needs is not just a large die forging machine.
"I mean, I don't know if you are interested in free forging equipment." Fortunately, Liu Yijiu stopped keeping it.
It is impossible for the Ninth Academy to devote energy to these basic equipment. Professional design requires the efforts of units in these professional fields.
Otherwise, by then, the Ninth Hospital will really become a monster. Once the Ninth Hospital has problems, the entire national industrial system and technical system will be seriously affected.
"Do you mean a free forging press of more than 10,000 tons?" Jiang Wen immediately opened his eyes wide.
"Although the die forging machine is very useful, it is only used for the manufacturing of batch parts. At present, the largest free forging press in our country is only 6,000 tons, which is not enough for many of our products. Therefore, we need more than 10,000 tons, or even 20,000 tons of free forging!"
Liu Yijiu said with a complicated expression.
Free forging is different from die forging. Because die forging requires molds, these molds are large, difficult to process and high manufacturing costs, they are only suitable for large-scale structural parts manufacturing.
Military products such as fighter jets or civilian products such as nuclear power can basically be considered to be relatively large in batches.
However, some single-piece small batch products, especially models used for sample trial production, have the shape of the blank part and can be deformed at will. They can eliminate defects such as shrinkage, shrinkage, and air holes inside the material, so that the blank has higher mechanical properties. At the same time, it also has the advantages of lower cost and higher versatility than casting.
Of course, this is not without its shortcomings. The processing allowance of blanks is large and the requirements for operators are very high.
"There is a 61111 project over the first level. Isn't it just a 12,000-ton free forging machine?" Jiang Sen asked in surprise when he heard Liu Yijiu's words.
He spent a lot of time on these things to make up for the lessons, so as not to be ridiculed by Liu Yijiu again.
"Their 12,000 tons of free forging have just begun, right? And they don't have enough funds, nor do they mobilize the whole country's strength like we do forging. Director Jiang, how long do you think they will take to get it done?" Liu Yijiu asked Jiang Sen very calmly.
In fact, there is not much experience in large forging machines in China.
And it's doubled directly.
People who don’t understand think that tens of thousands of tons of die forging are the most complicated.
In fact, I don’t know that a free forging machine of tens of thousands of tons is more complicated than these tens of thousands of tons.
Currently, the only ones in the world that can have more than 10,000 tons of free forging machinery design and production capacity are the Soviet Union and the United States. Western countries still have technology derived from the United States, but they have just exceeded 10,000 tons.
To develop nuclear submarines, warships, and even large military transport aircraft, the requirements for free forging equipment of more than 10,000 tons are higher, especially in nuclear power and large parts blanks of steam turbines.
"If you don't go and communicate with other people, why are you hiding here and talking about?" At this time, Qi Hao happened to come over.
"Why talk about the free forging machine! Xiao Liu wants a large free forging machine of 20,000 tons..." Jiang Sen directly raised Liu Yijiu's highest request.
Qi Hao was stunned, "We didn't even make a breakthrough in free forging of ten thousand tons!"
Not to mention tens of thousands of tons, eight thousand tons have no breakthrough.
"Before this, didn't we even have the technology of 40,000 tons of die forging machine?" Liu Yijiu said calmly, "Our domestic technical strength is actually better than we imagined, but the scale is not as large as the Soviet Union and the United States. The only problem is that we have not concentrated these technical capabilities..."
Qi Hao was stunned. Thinking about it, I thought Liu Yijiu's words made sense.
This has also aroused their interest and was able to continue to make breakthroughs while it is now. It is a great thing for the entire Chinese industry and even Chinese industry.
The few people did not continue to waste time at the celebration banquet, but went to the second meeting room.
Jiang Wen also called the relevant technical personnel to the technical conference room. At this pace, they will continue to carry out project research.
If it can be really successful, then the entire Second Generation will be China's number one heavy machinery and equipment design and manufacturing unit.
"The use and performance of free forging is not necessary for us to explain it here. You who are professionally engaged in forging equipment and forgings are better than anyone else. You also know that some large heavy-duty parts and small free forging machinery are not enough. I will ask you one thing, do you have the courage to challenge 15,000 tons and 20,000 tons of free forging directly from 6,000 tons of technology? That is the next goal. At present, the largest free forging in the world, the 14,000 tons of free forging in the Soviet Union, may soon appear 15,000 tons..." After Liu Yijiu entered the conference room, he directly asked the technician of the second level.
In terms of secondary aspects, the managers are very interested in this. However, their technicians frowned.
Even Chu Guorong, Cheng Xiaoci and others had very heavy faces.
"Director Liu, I think that as long as there is enough funding, this is not a problem!" Jiang Wen would not refuse such large-scale projects, especially those that are not available in China.
Political achievements are placed before them.
Moreover, there is no need to go to the central government to run projects. The Ninth Hospital has sufficient funds and can use their relationship to use the national technical force to research the second level. Who will have any opinions on such a good thing?
"Director Liu, this technical difficulty is too great. We do not have enough experience in this area. Moreover, the domestic technology reserves are insufficient in forging. The ability to create a 70,000-ton die forging machine is related to our previous design plan that concentrated the top technical forces in the country for design demonstration for nearly ten years. But free forging. Even if we are the Second Level, we are only challenging the 8,000-ton design capacity. This is also the reason why the First Level has been unable to make breakthroughs and progress is slow..." Chu Guorong ignored Jiang Wen and kept indicating himself.
The technical difficulty is too great.
Even with sufficient funds, Liu Yijiu's request was very difficult. The technical project of the Ninth Academy was very tight on time. Even the 70,000-ton die forging machine was working day and night, so that they could get it done in such a short time.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have rejected such a project.
"We need to have a large free forging machine of more than 10,000 tons and a die forging machine of tens of thousands of tons to form a closed large forging industry chain! This is a requirement of the aviation industry and a production requirement of some of our heavy machine tools. If we do not have free forging equipment of more than 10,000 tons and cannot provide such processing business, even our aviation industry chain will not be perfect!" Liu Yijiu ignored Jiang Wen, who looked at himself with a look of anticipation, and Qi Hao and others who looked at him with some doubts. Instead, he looked at the technicians who dared not look at him and said seriously. "I know that this technology is very difficult and is a huge challenge for us! We have not been exposed to the 61111 project, but their design ideas have been wrong from the beginning. Whether it is an air hammer or a steam-air hammer, it is very difficult to achieve 10,000 tons, and it is rapid forging!"
"Director Liu, what do you mean is that we don't choose the hammer forging method?" Cheng Xiaoci was a little confused.
Not all countries are doing this now?
"The technical difficulty is too great, so we directly adopt the hydraulic mode. With the experience of die forging design of 70,000 tons, using hydraulics to solve the pressure supply problem. This is not a big problem, right?" Liu Yijiu nodded.
There is no way to do this, we can only solve the problem first.
"I have to do this project again?" Qi Hao felt that he was here to serve as a foil.
"If Second Generation is willing, this project will start today. If we don't, we will look for units with interest and confidence to carry out this project." Liu Yijiu nodded.
There must be one.
"Director Liu, if you are interested, how could we not be interested? We are not only interested, but also confident!" Jiang Wen was anxious immediately. The research funds of the Ninth Institute were much easier to obtain than the national financial allocation, and the project approval was not that long. He immediately turned his head and asked the two engineers who were struggling, "Mr. Zhu, Mr. Cheng, are you right?"
Chu Guorong was not as anxious as Jiang Wen. He whispered to Cheng Xiaoci and asked other technicians next to them, then turned his head and asked Liu Yijiu, "Director Liu, how much time do we have to complete this project?"
The money from the Ninth Court is not that easy to get.
Although the approval of national projects is complicated, they will not urge them to achieve results in such a way that all the technicians do not even have a rest.
Just like today, it was originally the Gregorian New Year and New Year's Day, everyone should have rested...
After the trial production of the 70,000-ton large press was successfully completed, it should stop for maintenance. However, after the trial production was successful today, it was put into production. After the production was completed, it must be considered that the trial production was completed after 100 sets of landing gears...
Time is the most lacking.
"Two years!" Liu Yijiu stretched out two fingers. "According to domestic technical capabilities and the experience you have accumulated, it is enough. By the end of 1988, I will see a 15,000-ton free forging machine for trial production!"
"This is simply impossible!"
Cheng Xiaoci immediately shook his head.
Liu Yijiu thought so beautifully.
Starting from scratch, then having to demonstrate the design plan, and manufacturing, from beginning to end, only two years, no one can bear such pressure.
Even if it is 24 hours a day, it cannot be made.
Liu Yijiu did not speak, but looked at Chu Guorong.
Chu Guorong was obviously also scared by such a short time given by Liu Yijiu.
Many large parts have to be manufactured for several months. If the time given by Liu Yijiu now is only one and a half years for design and demonstration.
He kept weighing time in his heart, wondering why Liu Yijiu was so anxious.
When Jiang Wen heard this time, he didn't dare to agree at will.
Everyone is staring at Chu Guorong. His decision will determine whether this project will continue on the second level.
In the end, Chu Guorong nodded, but made a request to Liu Yijiu, "Director Liu, we cannot guarantee this, we can only give it a try and do our best to complete this project. But we need to have sufficient financial guarantee from the beginning, and this may cause a great waste of funds..."
"Funds are not a problem. When the project is started, the Ninth Academy will first allocate 100 million yuan of special funds to you!" Liu Yijiu said proudly.
No problem that money can solve is a problem.
What they lack now is not money, but time!
Chapter completed!
