He knows about metal matrix composite materials. To put it simply, they use special fibers to strengthen metal materials. However, generally speaking, this kind of special fibers are very powerful and can make metal materials improve by leaps and bounds.
For example, boronized fiber, graphite fiber, carbon fiber, silicon carbide fiber, etc.
However, among the many fibers, few people use glass fiber to strengthen metal materials. It is not that they have not tried it. The key is that the material properties of glass fiber are too general. Even if it is reinforced into metal, the improvement effect on the metal will not be great. , not even as good as those alloy materials with good metallurgical technology.
Because of this, among the many fiber reinforced materials, glass fiber was quickly eliminated, so that now it can only be combined with epoxy resin to make fiberglass materials similar to fiberglass, which can be used in non-load-bearing structures inside aircraft.
But Ascendas Group not only combines glass fiber with aluminum to create a new ultra-hybrid composite material that is as good as aluminum-lithium alloy, it is also lighter in weight and lower in cost.
Professor Ali Khan, who has worked in an aviation giant for half his life, knows exactly what this means.
But because of this, Professor Ali Khan is very confused. Even if the cost of glass fiber is low, if you want to integrate fiber materials into aluminum, the process should be similar to integrating other reinforced fibers into metal. The complexity of the process is almost exactly the same. The only thing The only difference is that glass fiber is different from other reinforcing fibers, so the processing time is very different.
However, these are completely negligible in terms of process costs.
Not to mention anything else, the cost of a single operation of the vacuum pressure furnace, which is the most critical in the preparation of this type of material, is tens of thousands of dollars at least, and a slightly larger one can reach hundreds of thousands of dollars.
That¡¯s it. In order to ensure the quality of the material, the quantity prepared at one time should not be too much. If it is shared in this way, the cost of the process alone is terrifyingly high, regardless of the value of the material itself. And this is just a vacuum pressure furnace. The entire fiber reinforcement There is more than just such a piece of equipment in the material process, there are at least a dozen of them together.
Precisely because of the complex preparation process, although fiber-reinforced composite materials can be industrially produced, the output has never been able to increase. If the output does not increase, the cost cannot be diluted. If the cost cannot be diluted, the price will naturally be expensive.
So the inherent logic behind the expensive composite materials is not a gimmick, but the inevitable result of the complexity of the process and low production capacity. If not, why are the major giants afraid to let go of composite materials if they are so good? There's nothing you can do, it's too expensive.
Ke Tengfei Group¡¯s ultra-hybrid composite materials have reached the cost level of ordinary aluminum alloys. How did they do it?
???????????????? If it were other people, they wouldn¡¯t be talking about this. For example, Rahman and Zarif, they don¡¯t understand the material, so they don¡¯t care how to get it.
As long as the cost is cost-effective and the performance is not bad, it is a good thing.
¡°Anyway, they came here to inspect the condition of the aircraft, and they didn¡¯t come here to learn how to build an aircraft. Why do they think so much? Are you tired?
But Professor Ali Khan is different. The reason why he resigned from an aviation giant like Boeing and returned to Pakistan is because he has the ambition to help Pakistan develop its aviation industry. Therefore, he feels uncomfortable when he encounters problems that he does not understand. I want to get to the bottom of it.
So after being surprised, Professor Ali Khan said tactfully to Zhuang Jianye and Lin Guanghua: "Mr. Zhuang, Mr. Lin, I am very curious about the preparation of your super hybrid composite material. I don't know"
Before Professor Ali Khan could finish speaking, Zhuang Jianye waved his hand and laughed nonchalantly: "I want to see the production situation of this material. Other materials may be troublesome, but super hybrid composite materials are no problem. The No. 7 workshop next to it is dedicated to the production of this material."
"Mr. Zhuang, are you telling the truth?" Professor Ali Khan couldn't believe his ears. His eyes were as wide as bull's eyes and he looked at Zhuang Jianye in disbelief.
It is important to know the production process of materials in any country. Although it is not completely confidential, under normal circumstances it will not be easily shown to outsiders.
Professor Ali Khan knew this very well. Otherwise, he, an outspoken person, would not have used the word "curious" to test. How could he have imagined that Zhuang Jianye would be so generous and agreed directly without even hesitating.
Professor Ali Khan is not surprised.
Zhuang Jianye looked at Professor Ali Khan who looked like he had won a five million lottery prize, and said with a smile: "Others don't have this treatment, but you are guests from Pakistan, we?You are tough brothers.
There is an old saying in China that one family does not speak the language of two families. Since they are brothers, they have to cut their teeth at both ends. Otherwise, what are we called brothers? Not to mention wanting to see it, I just like it and want to take it back. We at Ascendas Group will dress it up and help pack it, with free shipping. Is there anything hidden? Let¡¯s watch it if you want to see it, fellow brothers¡ Bah¡ Fellow old brothers, let¡¯s go to workshop No. 7¡¡±
Zhuang Jianye¡¯s words were full of pride. If the Pakistani military delegation moved the entire Xiping factory back in the next moment, they wouldn¡¯t even frown. Brother, how can you still call yourself a brother if you don¡¯t have such courage?
Professor Ali Khan was so moved that the folds on his face trembled, and he said that the friendship between China and Pakistan will last forever, and the Chinese are really the most reliable friends of Pakistanis.
Rahman and Zarif also echoed excitedly, but compared to Professor Ali Khan's simple gratitude, these two people's thoughts were much more complicated, but they were relieved. They thought Zhuang Jianye was a ghost. , I didn¡¯t expect that he was also a person who pretended to be generous. He started to be poor and generous with some high hats.
But that¡¯s okay, if they take a fancy to something in the future, they can just go for it, they are all brothers!
Only Lin Guanghua twitched the corner of his mouth twice, and said in his heart, these Pakistanis have been deceived by the old man and the village. They don't talk about the two families, and there are brothers who are settling the scores.
What is a brother, you have to insert a knife, but these Pakistanic iron people are unclear that the object of inserting the knife is particular. With the urine of Laozhuang, inserting someone else to capture a hand!
Sure enough, when everyone arrived at Workshop No. 7, members of the Pakistani military delegation, including Professor Ali Khan, were shocked and speechless by the complete set of super-hybrid material production equipment in front of them. When they heard Zhuang Jianye He waved his hand towards the equipment and said energetically: "We spent 220 million US dollars to build this set of ultra-hybrid composite material production equipment. If you want it, I won't say anything, just fold it in half and make it whole. Take all the $100 million!¡±
