Material Empire

Li Linguang laughed when Qin Hai said so solemnly. He never thought of any patented technology. His research interest is his interest, and patents are not patented, which means nothing to him. In the past two years, he helped Pingyuan Special Steel Works to do something, and Qin Hai paid him generous remuneration every time, which made him feel a little unhappy. What Qin Hai is talking about now, in his opinion, is just a new research task. It doesn't matter if he doesn't give money, let alone the issue of patent ownership.

"Xiao Qin, what thoughts make you so careful? Before you start doing this, you have to consider the patent issue first." Li Linguang asked.

Qin Hai also felt that his attitude was a little too solemn. He smiled and said, "I just said something wrong. I want to own the relevant patents, but you can get 20% of the profits you get. How do you see? ? "

"I don't even want Chengdu." Li Lin broadly said with a grin, "I have a salary, what income do you want to do? Xiao Qin, you are now used to being a capitalist, thinking about money."

Qin Haizhengzheng said: "This technology is very important. If it can be achieved, the market value in one year will not be less than 10 million. The two achievements are not less than 2 million ... Mr. Li, do you really care?"

"No less than 10 million!" Li Linguang was taken aback by Qin Hai's number. He took a serious look at Qin Hai's expression and determined that Qin Hai was not joking. His expression also became serious, he asked: "Xiao Qin, what kind of technology do you have so much confidence in?"

"I want to attach a layer of titanium nitride to the blade of the rotary tiller blade. What do you think?" Qin Hai was not anxious to say his design, but asked him according to the ideas that Li Linguang could deduct. Because of this, Li Linguang's thermal spray process method proposed to him will not feel too obtrusive.

Li Linguang thought for a while and said, "Titanium nitride can have a Vickers hardness of more than 2500 and a melting point close to 3000 degrees Celsius. It is indeed a suitable material for making high-wear tools. However, what method do you intend to use to attach it to metal? On the surface? "

Qin Haidao: "The traditional method is definitely not working. When I was in Beijing this time, I looked at some foreign materials and found that the current foreign countries have made very rapid progress in spraying technology. Can we use this method? Titanium nitride The particles are applied to the metal? "

"You are talking about the spraying process? I have read relevant literature, but. The spraying method uses a high-energy, high-speed plasma generator. The cost of this equipment is not what we can imagine. It is used to make agricultural tools. Did n’t it mean that anti-aircraft artillery hit mosquitoes? ”Li Linguang reminded.

Qin Hai smiled slightly. Said: "My idea is from this. Teacher Li, think about it, if we do n’t use plasma equipment, but use ordinary flame spray guns to generate high-speed particles that impact the metal surface, is it OK? Produced a spray effect? ​​In your opinion, the scheme I envisage is like this ... "

Having said that. Qin Hai took out a pen and paper and sketched Li Linguang on the dining table. The schematic diagram he drew is actually just a high-speed flame spray gun that has become very popular in later generations. Its principle is very simple, that is, oxygen and fuel are sent to a closed cavity. It burns, expands, and then blows out through a nozzle. The sprayed material is sent into the nozzle from another port, so that high-speed gas will carry these materials to the substrate surface to achieve the spraying effect.

Among these, of course, there are also many key technical details involved. These details still plagued materials scientists around the world at that time, and for a voyager like Qin Hai, it is very simple knowledge. He gave Li Linguang a few words, and Li Linguang nodded, his face gradually filled with excitement.

"That's right, this idea should be right!" Li Linguang couldn't help but praise, "Xin Qin, how long do you think, how can you think of this way?"

As an expert in materials, Li Linguang was able to hear the feasibility of the plan proposed by Qin Hai. Although this is only an idea, it is not far away from reality. He knew that if the idea of ​​Qin Hai could be realized, the threshold of the thermal spraying process would be greatly reduced, the price of the equipment would be two orders of magnitude lower than the current one, and the cost of spraying would be lowered to the general level.

Once the thermal spray process becomes simple and cheap, the application of this technology will become very common. The field of agricultural machinery is just a very small market for it, such as mining machinery, hardware tools and even military fields, this process will be widely used to improve product performance. By then, the value of this market will not be tens of millions as Qin Hai said. , But may reach hundreds of millions or even billions ...

No wonder Qin Hai will be so serious about this matter and a technology with such a future will not be indifferent to anyone.

Seeing the surprised expression on Li Linguang's face, Qin Hai knew what he was thinking, he grinned and said, "Hehe, Mr. Li, this is just an idea. To realize it, we may have to ask you to go out. Then. "

This is not modest, although Qin Hai understands the technical know-how of the entire thermal spraying process, but to truly turn it into a workable technology, a lot of experiments are needed, such as flame temperature, air velocity, nitrogen The size and the like of titanium particles need to be determined after experiments. If enough time is given to Qin Hai, with enough assistants, he would be able to organize such experiments himself, but he has more to do than this. There is a great god-level helper like Li Linguang in front of him. Is there any reason not to use it?

"This thing is very interesting. I took on this task." Li Linguang agreed to Qin Hai's request without extra politeness. However, to do these experiments, it is not enough to rely on him as a material expert. The design and manufacture of spray guns are not what he is good at, so he quickly emphasized: "This matter must also invite Professor Yue Kun from the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Come and participate, the design of this spray gun is not a simple matter. Lao Yue is an expert in this area. In addition, the design of the spray gun requires a factory to produce it. "

This question was also thought by Qin Hai. He said, "Please ask Professor Li for the matter of Professor Yue. In terms of cost, how much do you think is appropriate?"

Li Linguang waved his hand and scolded him in annoyance: "Three sentences are inseparable from the bank. Do you think Lao Yue came to help with the money you gave?"

Qin Hai hurriedly smiled and said, "I know, I know, but if you ask someone to do something, you have to pay for it, or is my conscience uneasy? So, Mr. Li, please ask Professor Yue to help, every month Calculated at 500 yuan. If he brings students to help, no matter how many students, 100 yuan per person per month, what do you think? "

"Well, then I thank you for your kindness on behalf of Lao Yue." Li Linguang nodded, accepting the price offered by Qin Hai. In the past, he helped the Pingyuan Iron and Steel Works. Qin Hai paid him more than this, and he was used to it. Although he said that Yue Kun would not care about remuneration, Qin Hai could give some remuneration. He and Yue Kun also talked better when talking about it.

Qin Hai went on to say: "As for the production of spray guns, it is sufficient to leave it to Qingfeng. Qingfeng itself is a machinery factory, and ordinary machining is not a big problem. If you encounter more precise machining tasks, please Director Ning went to other companies for assistance. His path is very broad. "

"Okay, that's it." Li Linguang said.

"In terms of funds, I asked Song Hongxuan to give you 200,000 first. If it is not enough, you can always tell Xiao Song, what do you think?" Qin Hai said again.

"Why did you spend so much money?" Li Linguang said subconsciously, 200,000 yuan was a huge sum in that year, Li Linguang could not think of what it took to spend so much money on a research.

Qin Hai was too lazy to explain too much to Li Linguang. He knew that although he had mapped out the key paths, Li Linguang would need to pay an innumerable amount of manpower and financial resources to complete this research. Take the spray gun used for thermal spraying, the material must meet the requirements of high temperature and pressure resistance, and the price is very expensive. To finalize the final design, I don't know how many versions to design. The trial production cost alone is probably not enough.

Li Linguang also stayed in a small temple like Anhe Institute of Technology for too long and lacked experience in undertaking large-scale scientific research tasks, so he didn't feel too direct about funding.

"Mr. Li, you do n’t need to worry about more money and less money. My current request is that at any cost ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ We must work out the technology and equipment within 2 months, so as to catch up with 3 months Can you do it? ”Qin Hai asked.

Li Linguang said: "Time is indeed tight enough, but you can rest assured that since I dare to promise, I will definitely not delay your business. I will go to Lao Yue tonight and send their graduate students and our graduate students. They all mobilized, and everyone worked overtime. After all, this is also a matter of glory for the country. "

"Well, it ’s more appropriate to use this slogan." Qin Hai laughed. Although the saying that "everything looks to money" has become popular in society, sometimes in school, some political slogans are still more useful. Yes, at least to the satisfaction of the school. Qin Hai speculates from his own experience that if enough overtime pay is given to students and teachers, plus the political honor after receiving the international award, it should be enough for everyone to work for nothing.

Based on Li Linguang's ability, in two months, it is relatively safe to come up with a set of thermal spray equipment that can basically meet the needs. Qin Hai has enough confidence in the "sweeping monk".

"Yes, Teacher Li, add one last point. The papers produced in this process belong to you, and you can publish them. I only need the final patent technology." Li Linguang promised a great benefit.
