“Meteorite dust? Jiang Ji looks down at the white debris in the box.
“Aren’t you working on a new alloy, you can add this substance to that alloy,” Su Jing said.
“Okay.” Jiang Ji nodded his head and took the box, although he didn’t think much about it as Meteorites are a little mysterious to ordinary people. However, he had studied a lot of meteorites, and knew that meteorites are seldom useful. But, since the new boss is interested, then he will try it.
“Then I will leave first, and the institute will be handed over to you. Also, the research process and results of this meteorite can not be posted to the outside world. If there is any discovery, please inform me as soon as possible.” Su Jing stands Up.
“Please rest assured, Boss.” Jiang Ji nodded. After Su Jing left, Jiang Ji took the white powder and entered the laboratory. He first tested the white powder and was surprised to find that the material was not only hard and resistant to corrosion and high temperature, but it also presented a stable polygonal structure under high temperature and high pressure, which had never been recorded.
Jiang Ji had a strong curiosity about the white powder. According to what Su Jing said, he tried to add this material to the alloy, first of all, he added a little amount into the titanium alloy. It was only a preliminary test, but he did not expect that the titanium alloy produced by smelting had a miraculous change.
“You’re going to test the intensity.” Jiang Ji tells his two assistants as he is continuing to test the white powder.
“Yes, Dr. Jiang.” The two assistants tested very skillfully. When the test results came out, the two assistants could not believe their eyes and thought they were mistaken.
“What’s wrong?” Jiang Ji was very surprised by the look of the two assistants.
“Dr. Jiang, I’m sorry we made a mistake. We’ll test it again.” The Two assistants said apologetically.
“Detecting intensity can also lead to making mistakes? Are you taking it seriously?” Jiang Ji said harshly, these two had graduates not long ago and they are very talented. He is quite harsh on them so that they can learn from him and soon become his equal.
“We are very sorry, Dr. Jiang.” The two assistants tested it again, but the results were the same. They couldn’t help but widen their eyes.
“What?” Jiang Ji frowned.
“Dr. Jiang, this newly smelted titanium alloy. The strength is about 1.5 times that of beta titanium alloy.” The two assistants were shocked.
“How is this possible?” Jiang Ji’s pupils shrank slightly.
Titanium is an isomer of isotopes with a melting point of 1668°C. It is a close-packed hexagonal lattice structure below 882°C and is called α titanium. It is a body-centered cubic lattice structure above 882°C and is called β titanium.
Using the different characteristics of the above two structures of titanium, adding appropriate alloying elements, gradually changing the phase transition temperature and phase content to obtain titanium alloys with different microstructures. At room temperature. Titanium alloys have three kinds of matrix structures, and titanium alloys are classified into the following three types: α alloys, (α + β) alloys and β alloys. China is represented by TA, TC, and TB respectively.
Among them, β-titanium alloy is the strongest. If there is any titanium alloy with strength 1.5 times that of β-titanium alloy, that is nonsense.
So. Jiang Ji did not believe it. He personally tested it and the result is still the same.
“Dr. Jiang, this is amazing!
“Dr. Jiang. You invented a new alloy?”
Both assistants were excited to invent new alloys. Even if not the inventor, just an assistant, is a glorious thing.
“Continue to test other parameters.” Jiang Ji was very excited and continue to test with his two assistants. The more they tested, the more shocked they became, it is known that different titanium alloys have their own advantages and disadvantages, but this newly smelted titanium alloy is more stable than α-titanium alloy, with higher wear resistance, stronger oxidation resistance, and higher temperature resistance. At the same time, it has higher strength and toughness than the β alloy, which can be used for higher strength heat treatment. The comprehensive properties are 1.5 times More than that of (α+β) alloy. Simply put, this is simply a super titanium alloy.
“What exactly did Boss Su gave me?” Jiang Ji was shocked to see the white powder on the table. He was excited, but he was not proud at all because he knew that it was not his own merit.
“This new titanium alloy will absolutely shock the world. That Mr. Jin didn’t believe in Dr. Jiang’s research. He will surely regret it now. Boss Su just bought the institute and encountered such a good thing. It is also too good luck. “The two master students excitedly exclaimed.
“I’m afraid it’s not luck.” Jiang Ji muttered something in his mind and suddenly felt that the Boss Su is more mysterious than he imagined.
“Change the ratio and continue the experiment.” Jiang Ji ordered and after changing the content of white powder for smelting and adjusting various smelting methods, he studied it day and night for two days and found that with the increase of the proportion of white powder, The content was even increased. When the proportion was increased to 0.05%, the effect was very weak. By this time, the overall performance is more than 2 times that of the (α+β) alloy.
After the research was successful, Jiang Ji was excited to call Su Jing. After getting the news, Su Jing was excited. He gave Jiang Ji more white powder and told him to cooperate with the factory to smelt the alloy plate according to the design drawings. This new alloy reinforces the first floor of the building.
“Boss, what are you going to use so many alloy plates for?” Jiang Ji wondered.
“It’s for my personal use, but rest assured, although this will not bring benefits to the institute but your bonus will not be small.” Su Jing said.
“I am not worried about that. It’s just a matter of urgency. Shouldn’t we think about making good use of this technology, or selling the patent to the country, or mass production to make a profit?” Jiang Ji said, he is not too greedy, but If the Institute’s earnings are good, then he wouldn’t have to worry about going bankrupt. Moreover, he hopes to see his teacher who is quite disappointed with himself become proud of himself if he sees the success of this research.
“Don’t worry, just apply for a patent first. One big flaw in this patent is that the amount of meteorite powder is so limited that it cannot be produced in large quantities.” Su Jing said.
“That’s a problem.” Jiang Ji frowned, he seemed to forget the key point in a moment of excitement. “Boss, leave this question to me and I will see if I can find a replacement or synthesize this material by studying the elemental composition and structure of This meteorite powder.”
“Well, I’ll leave it to you, but I’ll need those alloy plates as soon as possible.”
“Okay.” Jiang Ji nodded. Although the new alloy plate was privately used by Su Jing, he did not dare to neglect. After all, Su Jing is his only life-saving straw, and strictly speaking, he is the one who invented this. The main merit of the new type of alloy is not in himself, but in the meteorite powder given to him by Su Jing, Su Jing is also right to use it privately. (To be continued ~^~)
