Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 451, Electroslag Furnace
After the big boss laughed, he closed his notebook and sat next to Jiang Yan. When he came over, he took a box of unmarked barreled cigarettes from the drawer and placed it on the table. Jiang Yan's eyes lit up when he saw the cigarette. .

"This thing is specially made for cigarettes. According to Jiang's level, he only has a bucket during holidays. He smokes and rubs this."

As soon as the big leader put it on the table, Jiang Yan opened it, gave one to Wang Honghai and the big leader, and then Jiang Yan picked up the rest.

"You are a living bandit. You never leave empty-handed when you come to my place. Okay, take out this bucket and smoke it. If I have two more buckets, you can take them away. I will apply to the higher-ups later and give you a month." Add a bucket of this smoke.”

Hearing about the benefits, Jiang Yan replied with a playful smile: "That's a good relationship, big boss. The doctor didn't say that your regular smoking is bad for your health. I'm just here to lighten your burden."

Listening to Jiang Yan's shameless and self-righteous words, the senior leader didn't know what to say for a moment. Wang Honghai's eyes turned red with envy. He didn't get such treatment from the old leader.

"How are you going to produce?" the leader asked Jiang Yan while taking a puff of cigarette.

Jiang Yan was a little silent after hearing the big leader's words. Originally, Jiang Yan planned to use an electroslag furnace to produce the products, so the quality of the products produced should be the best.However, it can also be produced by adding alloying elements to an oxygen top-blown converter, but the alloying elements put into it need to be refined, because these metals are not refined, and the quality produced is bound to be lower.

However, there are advantages and disadvantages to both. Although the quality produced by electroslag furnaces is relatively high, its electricity consumption is still extremely terrible. According to Jiang Yan's calculation, three electroslag furnaces will be fully produced and will almost use up the power plant. Now nearly one level of electricity.It's just that the power supply is relatively tight now, and it is estimated that production can only be carried out in the middle of the night during this period of time.There is nothing we can do about this. It is impossible to deny others the use of electricity in order to produce alloy steel!

Therefore, without the capacity expansion of the power plant in place, the electroslag furnace can only produce at night when power consumption is low, which also places high demands on future management.You must know that this involves many dangerous operations such as high voltage, high temperature, and hoisting. More importantly, the drawings of the electroslag furnace are still in Jiang Yan's space. There is no ready-made equipment, so the electroslag furnace needs to be built first.

The cost of using oxygen top-blown converters with alloying elements is relatively low, but the products produced will be inferior and the waste products produced will be relatively high. Now Jiang Yan can't make up his mind.

The big leader saw Jiang Yan's face was a little gloomy and uncertain, so he said: "If you have any new ideas, just tell me. I will try my best to do what I can, and I will find a way to do what I can't. As long as it is for the good of the country, even if I I will risk my own shame."

Hearing the big leader's words, Jiang Yan felt a little calmer and told his thoughts to the big leader.

After listening to Jiang Yan's statement, the senior leader was silent for a moment, lit a cigarette, took a puff, then leaned his back against the sofa in his office, changed into a more comfortable position, and then continued to speak.

"Xiao Jiang, is this electroslag furnace you mentioned so good?"

When the senior leader asked, Jiang Yan explained the working methods, advantages and disadvantages of the electroslag furnace to the senior leader.

Due to the de-inclusion effect of the slag liquid and good crystallization conditions, the electroslag furnace has good purity for the electroslag remelted metal. The as-cast structure is fine and uniform, without white spots and annual ring-shaped segregation. The sulfur content is extremely low and the inclusions are small. Dispersion and other excellent properties.Therefore, electroslag remelting has a monopoly in the production of large and medium-sized forgings and module blanks, and has an absolute advantage in high-quality tool and die steel, maraging steel, dual-phase steel tube blanks, cold-rolled electroslag steel, and electroslag melting and casting of special shapes. This piece is unique, and in later generations the annual domestic output of electroslag steel has reached hundreds of thousands of tons.Electroslag furnace is an essential production equipment for special steel plants.

Electroslag metallurgy also has three basic functions: heating, refining and sequential crystallization.

The senior leader nodded after listening to Jiang Yan's introduction. "The drawings are all ready-made. There are basically no technical problems. As long as they are processed, they can be assembled." Jiang Yan then spoke again.

"Then since they are all ready-made, let's build an electroslag furnace like this. You don't have to worry about the electricity. I will go to the Electricity Bureau immediately to coordinate the electricity use. No matter what, we must ensure production needs."

Jiang Yan felt relieved a lot when he heard the big leader's words. With the big leader's help, this project will be able to be produced smoothly.

After talking about this, the big leader then asked: "What are you going to do with these alloy formulas? What do you think?" The value of these formulas provided by Jiang Yan is really too high. Think of an alloy formula that you can get from Da Mao. The good thing is that there is now a full book here, and the value is really high.

Jiang Yan had already had an idea about this, so he said: "This is what I think. First, we will distribute the formula to each research institution according to the research direction of each research institution, and they will be responsible for research and production until they fully understand it. After the technology is obtained, people will be sent to the corresponding production units to take charge of production. Of course, these must be kept strictly confidential."

"And based on these formulas of mine, the research institution can conduct expanded research. Which metal can the production institution guarantee to be put into production? We will number this metal and then organize it into a volume, clearly labeling the detailed performance. Then we will sort out the metal This booklet is distributed to each user unit, and they can choose the corresponding type of material according to their needs, and then we can produce the corresponding type of steel according to their needs."

"We sort out the research results of various research institutions every once in a while. Once they are ready for mass production, we will add new material varieties to the booklet, revise it and issue it. From now on, we can form a complete system from research to production. By applying such a chain, the user units no longer have to research various metals themselves, which can save a large number of talents. These talents will be added to various research institutes, and professional things will be done by professional people. They only need to Just pick them from the booklet, and the institute can work together to do big things."

"Of course, if each user unit discovers certain characteristics or defects of the metal, they can also give us feedback. After verification, it will be added to the booklet. The formulas they discovered can also be submitted and added after review. In this way, as long as we After implementation for a period of time, our material formulas can be greatly enriched, which can provide support for many of our researches. Many of our current projects may be solved quickly just by improving the material properties."

After listening to Jiang Yan's idea, the leader was excited. Nowadays, some projects cannot break through because the material performance cannot keep up. As long as it is slightly overloaded, the accessories cannot bear it. Now that we have excellent materials, many problems can be solved quickly. .

The main problems with machinery now are one is the processing capability, and the other is that the materials are not up to standard.The ongoing machine tool project is to solve the problem of processing capabilities, and this formula can basically solve most of the current material performance problems.

Jiang Yan saw the excited expression of the current leader. He was about to run to ask for credit from Jiang Yan, so he hurriedly said: "I think it's best to handle this matter in a low-key manner. We are still very weak now. What a sin! It’s a good thing to have one or two good formulas, but it’s a bad thing to have dozens or even hundreds of excellent formulas that no one else has.”

"Recently we are producing alloy steel, and I want to keep the production secret. For example, if you number the steel now, for example, if you need to add five alloying elements, then during production, we will fix the amount of the main steel, how many tons per furnace. Then from the alloy The alloying elements brought from the element factory are weighed in advance and only marked with numbers. You can just add them directly to the rolling mill according to the numbered numbers in one furnace."

Jiang Yan's idea is very clear. In a short period of time, the manufacturer will control the amount of steel, and the alloy element factory will control the amount of alloy elements. They will take as much as possible and keep it secret as much as possible.In this way, neither factory knows the specific formula. They only know what number of materials they produce, the use of the materials, and the performance of the materials.The formula is only in the hands of the superior department, so that it can be kept secret for as long as possible.

That is to say, as few people as possible should know the material formulas now. Only in this way can the secret that Jiang Yan has so many material formulas be kept, otherwise Jiang Yan would be in danger.However, the leader had no way to make a decision at this time. He could only report to his superiors to determine how to deal with it. Everyone agreed with the plan proposed by Jiang Yan.

In this way, Jiang Yan and Wang Honghai returned to the research institute, and Jiang Yan could not decide what happened next.
