Chapter 437 Special Memory Metal
At the same time, everyone present knows that the defects of rubber and the usable environment range are too low.
Therefore, the people present, including Wang Bin, tend to use other materials to manufacture aircraft tires, especially metal materials. It’s much better.
Of course, if there is no other way, he can also accept tires with mechanical structures.
While Wang Bin was thinking about this, Professor Dai stood up and said, “President Wang, I also agree with Professor Zhang’s opinion.
After all, we are now testing the flight of our first prototype, and this problem has occurred. Even if we can temporarily find a higher-performance rubber material that can temporarily meet the needs of this aerospace aircraft, but what about the future? ?
You know, this is only our first aerospace plane of Tiangong Technology. In the future, we will definitely have more and larger aerospace planes, and bigger aerospace planes, so the tires have to bear all kinds of The test is naturally stronger, so I think it’s time for us to consider using other materials instead of rubber materials. ”
After Professor Dai finished speaking, everyone in the conference room nodded. It was obvious that they all agreed with what Professor Dai said.
And Wang Bin also nodded, then turned his head, and asked Professor Zhang: “Professor Zhang, as the boss of Tiangong Technology, I naturally hope that the aerospace aircraft we produce will not have any performance in terms of performance. There are any problems, and naturally the same with tires.
So in my heart, I naturally hope to use other materials to replace rubber, but at present, in China or even the whole world, it seems that there are no other high-performance materials that can be used instead of rubber materials! ”
After listening to what Wang Bin said, Professor Zhang shook his head and said: “If it was in the past, there is really no material in the world that can be used to replace rubber, even if someone has developed some materials with performance similar to rubber materials. , Its cost is not cheap, so no one uses it at all.
But now it is different. You forgot about the difficulty, Mr. Wang. A few months ago, I told Mr. Wang that we have developed a soft metal alloy material in our materials laboratory.
The performance of this alloy in many aspects is similar to the rubber material used in tires, but there are also many properties that rubber can’t compare at all. For example, the melting point of this metal material is as high as 2530 degrees. In addition, this material is also A very good memory metal material.
At the same time, compared with rubber materials, this material has many advantages, I won’t say much, such as ductility, strong acid resistance, oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance, etc., which are incomparable with rubber.
Therefore, this material can replace rubber in many places, such as being made into tires for use.
The most important thing is that the manufacturing cost of this material is very low, even if it is lower than the manufacturing cost of rubber, it is definitely an ideal product to replace rubber. ”
“What! It’s true, that’s great. What are you waiting for? We will make some tires and install them on the plane for a try.” After hearing what Professor Zhang said, Wang Bin immediately stood up and said .
At the same time, he thought about it carefully. Indeed, as Professor Zhang said, the material he said was actually developed by them two months ago.
And this material was not developed by Professor Zhang himself. It was developed by Xiao Xiao, a recent college student in his department who had just entered Tiangong Technology for a short time, and Xiao Xiao originally developed this material. The original intention was actually to use other materials to replace rubber.
Then he got up and went to the material research and development department together, and came to one of the research rooms called the special memory metal research and development team, and met Xiao Xiao.
“Xiao Xiao, this is Mr. Wang, the boss of Tiangong Technology. I think you are no stranger to it.
The purpose of Mr. Wang’s visit to Tiangong Technology this time is for the special memory metal you developed before.
Presumably you are also aware that our Tiangong Technology has just conducted the first test flight of an aerospace plane in history today, and it has also been successful, but unfortunately we have also found many problems during the test flight.
The biggest problem is that we found that all the rubber tires of the aircraft showed signs of melting after landing. There was even a tire that punctured after the aircraft entered the atmosphere.
In other words, the performance of the existing rubber tires is not enough to be used in aerospace aircraft.
So we thought of the special memory metal you developed before, which is definitely the most ideal material for aerospace aircraft tires. “After entering the laboratory, Professor Zhang immediately said to a young man in the laboratory who was only about 20 years old.
“Professor Zhang, is what you said is true? Our aerospace plane was really successfully tested? That is really great. Then, are we going to start mass production of the aerospace plane?
Also, does this mean that our country is about to enter the era of real spaceflight? “Just after Professor Zhang finished speaking, Xiao Xiao asked impatiently!
Although Xiao Xiao also knows that Tiangong Technology has been conducting the test flight of their company’s first aerospace aircraft during this period of time, but until yesterday, this aerospace aircraft was only performing test flights in the atmosphere.
So during this period of time, everyone in Tiangong Technology is a little nervous, a little proud, a little expectant, and a little anxious.
Many of them hoped that the aerospace aircraft of Tiangong Technology would immediately perform aerospace flight test flight, but they were afraid that the aerospace flight test flight would fail. At the same time, they also knew that the aerospace flight test flight was different from ordinary test flight work. During this period, as long as there is a slight error in the plane, it means that the plane is crashed and killed. This is not a joke.
And now the air-to-air flight test flight is finally completed, and the test flight was also successful. Although there was a tire problem during this period, it did not represent a problem with the aircraft itself, so he was so excited.
As for the tire problem mentioned by Professor Zhang, it is definitely not a problem in his opinion, because the special memory metal they developed was developed to replace rubber, and it completely surpassed rubber in terms of various performance indicators.
And it’s just the first generation of special memory metal they developed, or metal rubber is more appropriate.
Since they reported their own results to Professor Zhang last time, they have successively carried out more in-depth R&D and improvement on the basis of the original metal rubber.
Now the second generation of metal rubber has been developed, and the performance of this generation of metal rubber is even better, absolutely, especially in the applicable temperature range.
