"It's so beautiful!" In Gao Wei's eyes, this molding container was ten thousand times better than those jewelry!
"There is no powder on the surface!" The researchers were pleasantly surprised. "This way, it won't fall off, right?"
Kelly Hall frowned. "Adding adhesive? It may cause problems in the molecular structure. It will break under high temperature. That will be a big problem! "
"We will only know the result after we try it." Zhong Bing said. "We can start molding now."
The staff nervously prepared. The yttrium oxide molding container was made into a turbine engine blade molding device. This time, the blade length had exceeded the 200mm limit mentioned by Kelly Hall!
The high-temperature titanium aluminum alloy solution was poured into the yttrium oxide molding container and began to cool. After a series of operations, the titanium aluminum alloy blade gradually took shape.
The data on the instrument fluctuated around the normal value. Everyone stared at it closely. Zhong Bing said, "It's done!"
The first test titanium aluminum alloy blade was carefully taken out by the researchers. From the outside, it was smooth and had an elegant curve. It emitted a metallic luster.
Looking good did not mean that the blade had been successfully manufactured. It had to be tested to see if it could meet the high performance requirements of the aeroengine.
There was a testing device in the material research institute. It would test the various data of the blade and compare it with the standard data.
"The length of the titanium aluminum alloy blade is over 200mm. Either the precision is not up to standard, or the hardness is not up to standard!" Henry Hall said. "Our company has done similar experiments many times."
This time, no one argued with him. Instead, they waited for the test data to be released.
The data was soon in front of them. Whether it was strength, stability, density, or precision, they were all up to standard!
This meant that they had really manufactured a low-pressure turbine engine blade that was over 200mm long!
"This is currently the world's most precise, longest, and most stable titanium aluminum alloy blade!" Gao Wei said in surprise when he saw the data.
The people in the research institute who witnessed it with him were also excited. They clapped and cheered. The Aerospace Materials Research Institute was full of jubilation.
"Let me see!" Kelly Hall rushed forward. He took the blade and observed it carefully while looking at the test data.
At the same time, he secretly used his smart glasses to record some information and sent it back to Luoluo's headquarters.
Lu Zixin knew all this, but no one stopped him. That was because the core technology was the manufacturing of molecular adhesives. The other technologies were already mastered by Luoluo. Showing it to them would instead put pressure on them.
"It's really over 200mm? How did he do it? How could a computer simulation go wrong? "Kelly Hall muttered to himself.
Beside him, Zhong Bing said, "Of course the computer simulation will make mistakes! There were many variables that needed to be considered in order to determine the success of an experiment. Furthermore, the changes in the molecular structure could not be completely predicted by the current computers. Why do we need scientists to be superstitious about computer models? "
"This …" Kelly Hall was at a loss for words. Facts had proven that the titanium alloy blades produced by the other party had overturned the theoretical results of their laboratory simulations!
"Your company is already able to manufacture its own leaves. Your technological progress is truly admirable!" Compared to Kelly Hall, Anderson's mentality was much better because he had prepared for the worst from the very beginning. Now, his plan had become a reality.
After that, there was basically nothing for Honeywell International to do.
For the British Luoluo company, they could only accept this fact. The only advantage was that the engine blades were only a part of the engine. The truly difficult technical problem was the design and construction of the engineering machine itself.
…
After the successful development of the low-pressure turbine engine's titanium-aluminum alloy blades, there were not many material problems blocking the Chinese Commercial Aircraft Manufacturing Company. With Zhang Ming and Zhong Bing, it was only a matter of time before they solved it.
After the representative of the British Luoluo company, Kelly Hall, reported the matter back to China, he actually facilitated an order!
It was not the Chinese Commercial Aircraft Manufacturing Company that was purchasing from Luoluo company, but Luoluo company that was purchasing hundreds of low-pressure turbine engine's titanium-aluminum alloy blades from China! It was said that these blades would be used in the Airbus 350 series commercial aircraft of the European Airbus Company.
And in the Chinese Commercial Aircraft Manufacturing Company, after a meeting with the company's top management, they decided to start to tackle the most difficult obstacle in the manufacturing of large aircraft, the aero-engine!
The Chinese Commercial Aircraft Manufacturing Company had been researching aero-engine for a long time, but the progress was slow. Currently, only the United States and the United Kingdom had the top technology in this field.
Now, they planned to develop a high-performance aero-engine together with Hongxin's mechanical power research team.
However, when this news was spread, it actually caused the international industry to be alarmed.
The British Luoluo company, the United States General Electric Company, and the United States Pratt & Whitney company were not mentioned. The Russian United Aviation Manufacturing Company, which had been cooperating with the Chinese Commercial Aircraft Manufacturing Company, was not satisfied and requested to withdraw from the engine development.
The Russian United Aviation Manufacturing Company, abbreviated as OAK, was a large military enterprise formed by the merger of several major Russian aviation companies in 2006. It was one of the world's top 20 military enterprises!
Although the Russian United Aviation Manufacturing Company was not as good as the three major aero-engine giants in terms of commercial aircraft engine manufacturing, it was still the world's top aero-engine manufacturer.
A year ago, the Chinese Commercial Aircraft Manufacturing Company and OAK reached an agreement to develop a long-range wide-body aero-engine.
The Chinese Commercial Aircraft Manufacturing Company's only product, the C919, was a single-aisle aircraft, also known as "short and medium-range twin-engine narrow-body civil transport aircraft." The best-selling Boeing 787 and Airbus 350 series aircraft were long-range wide-body aircraft. The aircraft was bigger, could carry more weight, and had a wider range of applications.
Of course, the performance of the aero-engine was also more powerful.
The United States and the United States would not sell their own high-tech aero-engine to China to prevent China from competing with their Boeing and Airbus companies. That was why they looked for the Russian United Aviation Manufacturing Company to cooperate. Now, when they heard that Hongxin wanted to cooperate with the Chinese Commercial Aircraft Manufacturing Company to develop aero-engine, OAK was also fearful and requested to withdraw from the research to prevent the technology from leaking out.
"How can this be? The research and development had not started, and they want to withdraw?! Are these Russians also going to work with the United States and the United States? " Peng Zhengge was furious. The aero-engine was very important, and they had invested more than 10 billion RMB to develop the wide-body aircraft CR929. If there was a problem with the aero-engine, all their efforts would be wasted.
