Chapter 114: Aspirations

Titanium alloy has extremely strong tensile properties. According to the surface data of the world's laboratories, the maximum tensile strength can reach 1764Mpa. However, this is a combination of titanium and other precious metals. For large-scale use, the cost is too high and there is not much promotion value.

Otherwise, with a fighter jet as big as this, and built with precious metals that are much more expensive than gold, no matter how big the economy is, it cannot afford such consumption.

At present, the best aviation material is still titanium-aluminum alloy. Aluminum is relatively cheap and accounts for a large proportion, which is more in line with economic and practical value. However, after a large amount of aluminum is involved, the density of titanium will naturally decrease. In reality, you can't have your cake and eat it too. At present, the highest tensile resistance of titanium-aluminum alloy on the market is only 400-700MPa.

Wu Tong's material model is built on this basis, deducing a more superior molecular structure, a more superior material ratio, and combined with innovative technology, ultimately achieving a super-strong titanium-aluminum alloy material with better tensile properties, creep resistance, oxidation resistance, and higher tolerance.

The data deduced in advance flew across Wu Tong's fingertips and was input into the laboratory's computer, while Ruan Chengxu watched from the side.

"Ti--6Al-zi..."

As Wu Tong gradually delved deeper into the data, Ruan Chengxu looked at the gradually taking shape of the molecular structure, his expression becoming more and more solemn. This structure? He seemed to have never seen it before!

It is completely different from the molecular structure of titanium-aluminum alloy commonly seen today!

Interesting! Cheng Huanan walked in slowly, holding his chin with his hand, and his expression was exactly the same as Ruan Chengxu's. Compared with Ruan Chengxu's keen sense of something wrong, what he saw was broader!

Wu Tong's first material work was perhaps more surprising than he expected.

It seems that his future closed disciple likes to explore and innovate rather than to follow the routine and introduce new things!

After Wu Tong entered the last piece of data, Cheng Huanan reached out and clicked the confirmation button to confirm the simulation calculation of the theoretical properties of the material.

Soon, the software started running the data and, based on the perspective of molecular dynamics, began to calculate the theoretical mechanical properties of the target material at a macroscopic level.

The computer computing power in the laboratory is quite good, and soon the theoretical test results were displayed on the screen.

1270MPa? ·····

Ruan Chengxu's eyes widened in surprise, looking at the theoretical tensile resistance data displayed on the screen in disbelief. Was he dazzled or was the system malfunctioning?

Because of the high proportion of aluminum, the density of titanium is diluted. The general data that titanium-aluminum alloys can currently achieve is around 600 to 700. These are all excellent materials and are highly sought after in the aviation industry.

And now...

Ruan Chengxu rubbed his eyes. It was still the same 1270MPa. Wu Tong's simulation data raised this general threshold by two times!

What is the concept?

If this data is true, it will immediately break the world record and become national strategic confidential material. They need to report it immediately on the spot, dispatch protection forces, and sign a confidentiality agreement for operation.

Compared to Ruan Chengxu's surprise, Cheng Huanan was much calmer. His eyes moved between the data on the screen and Wu Tong's manuscript, comparing and arguing.

After a long while, he spoke, "The data you imported was not originally deduced, right?"

"I just had some temporary inspiration and made some appropriate adjustments!" Her previous model was only based on her preliminary understanding of materials science. She has done a lot of research in this area in the past two days. In addition, she has just visited the laboratory and learned about various instruments and processes... Her absolute judgment has become more accurate, and she now has more practical data.

"Mr. Cheng, can you help me see if this material is worth investing in experimental preparation?" Wu Tong smiled embarrassedly. She did some deductions on a whim and asked Dean Pan to help with the connection, so she came to Mr. Cheng's laboratory.

She hadn't thought much about it before, but now she suddenly realized that whether there are similar materials of this strength in the country, if so, her deduction is just for her own amusement and there is no need to continue.

"Just look at your senior brother's expression and you'll know whether it's valuable or not!" Cheng Huanan pointed at Ruan Chengxu, the new disciple beside him who looked surprised. He still had little experience and lacked the composure to remain calm even under pressure.

However, Wu Tong's simulation results were so outstanding that even this old man felt that he had seen the world.

He thought Wu Tong was just a beginner. Being able to design materials and make them into shapes was already a talent. If he could improve upon it, he would be a top genius. Who would have thought that Wu Tong would directly give him a result that was beyond his reach?

Sure enough, he is a child who is good at creating miracles.

"It's absolutely necessary!" As for the materials, there is a 10% chance that they would have to be tested day and night, not to mention that Wu Tong already has the detailed needs.

Ruan Chengxu held his forehead and covered his face. He was purely shown off by the big guy. Most of his thoughts at the time were rubbish. My God’s thoughts at the time were that it was to catch up with the UK and the US and become the best in the world!

"Go and arrange the material preparation, and all expenses will be paid from the laboratory account!" Although there are often big differences between simulation results and experimental results, the difference will not be excessive if the data is precise.

Wu Tong's simulated pouring model data is detailed enough, the molecular structure of the material is also very interesting, the material ratio and the selection of preparation process are very detailed, and the result is very likely to be successful...

Then there is no need to say more, just get to work and experiment to find the truth.

As a leading material expert in the country, Cheng Huanan knows more and understands what it means if this material can really be realized!

As long as the actual value of the material is 60% of that simulated by Wu Tong, he will directly help Wu Tong write internal references, help Wu Tong establish projects, and assist Wu Tong in moving the material from the laboratory to production.

Sixty percent of 1270MPa is more than 760MPa, which exceeds almost all titanium-aluminum alloy materials currently available. It is enough to become the newest and most excellent aviation material choice. Even if the experimental results are even better, it can definitely be used on the blades of the current new generation of turbofan engines, allowing the country's highly anticipated J-20 to take a big step towards its super-powerful performance test flight and takeoff.

He is currently involved in the research of the blade material of the WS-15 and is still trying to optimize the solution. The data is in his mind, and it is obvious that Wu Tong's current simulation data is a complete win.

Cheng Huanan laughed. If he remembered correctly, the original purpose of this kid designing the material model was for fighter plane body materials!

The leap from the fuselage material to the core blade material is enough to make most material scientists ashamed! If their country configured fuselage materials according to this ratio, would they still worry about the beyond-visual-range Raptor across the sea?

He hoped more than anyone else that this material simulation could be presented in reality! Cheng Huanan's heart seemed to have returned to the anticipation and excitement when he succeeded in preparing materials for the first time when he was young.
