After a while, Professor Liu also hurried over.
As soon as Professor Liu walked into the laboratory, his eyes were attracted by the new alloy material that sparkled with metallic luster.
He walked quickly over and looked at the materials carefully, his eyes full of surprise and relief.
"It really worked! That's great, thank you all for your hard work!" Professor Liu said excitedly, with a slight tremor in his voice.
Zhou Ziwen hurried forward and reported the entire research and development process to Professor Liu in detail, from the difficulties encountered to the solutions proposed by the team members, and then to the final breakthrough, without missing a single detail.
Professor Liu listened attentively, nodded from time to time, and spoke highly of the team members' efforts and innovative spirit:
"You have done a great job! This is not only a technological breakthrough, but also a solid step forward in the development of my country's high-end precision machine tools."
Then, Professor Liu looked at everyone's tired yet excited faces and said with concern:
"Everyone, don't rush to celebrate. Go back and get some rest tonight. Tomorrow, we will discuss the next steps and how to better apply this achievement to actual machine tool research and development."
Everyone nodded. Although they were still immersed in the joy of success, they also knew that the next task would be equally difficult.
Early the next morning, Zhou Ziwen and his team members gathered in the conference room.
Professor Liu elaborated in detail on the initial idea of applying new alloy materials to high-end precision machine tools, and conducted in-depth discussions on every link, from the adjustment of the overall design of the machine tool, to the compatibility testing with other components, to the optimization of the production process.
Zhou Ziwen combined his professional knowledge and R&D experience to put forward many constructive suggestions.
He suggested using new high-precision positioning technology during the assembly process of the machine tool to ensure that the ball screw and guide rail system can accurately cooperate with other components, further improving the accuracy and stability of the machine tool.
Zhang added, "When designing the exterior structure of machine tools, we can fully consider the characteristics of new materials, optimize heat dissipation and protective design, and extend the service life of the machine tools."
Everyone was talking at once and the discussion in the meeting room was in full swing.
After some in-depth communication, the team determined the next work direction and specific tasks.
In the following days, Zhou Ziwen led his team members to devote themselves to the research and development of high-end precision machine tools.
They work closely with the factory's technical backbone, stay in the production workshop for a whole day, and strictly control the processing and assembly of every component.
To ensure that the new alloy material can perform optimally in actual machine tools, Zhou Ziwen personally supervises the cutting, processing and heat treatment processes of the material.
He knew very well that any small mistake could lead to the failure of the entire project.
Therefore, he requires team members to maintain a high level of focus and a rigorous work attitude.
After countless tests and adjustments, the new alloy material was finally successfully applied to high-precision ball screw and guide rail systems.
During a crucial test, the entire team watched the machine tool in action with great nervousness.
When the test results showed that the new material not only perfectly solved the precision problem, but also significantly improved the stability and service life of the machine tool, the entire workshop erupted in cheers.
"Success! We succeeded!" Brother Zhao slapped the machine tool excitedly, his eyes full of tears.
Zhou Ziwen couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. He turned to look at his team members, his eyes full of pride: "Thanks for your hard work, everyone! We did it!"
Professor Liu also rushed to the scene. He looked at the test results and showed a satisfied smile on his face:
"This is a major breakthrough in my country's high-end precision machine tool field! Your dedication and hard work have finally paid off."
Afterwards, Professor Liu organized a small celebration to commend the contributions of the team members.
He particularly praised Zhou Ziwen's leadership throughout the project:
"Mr. Zhou Ziwen, you have not only demonstrated outstanding technical skills, but also extraordinary talent in teamwork and project management. I believe you will achieve even greater success in the field of mechanical engineering in the future."
After the celebration, Zhou Ziwen did not indulge in the joy of success for too long.
He knows very well that this is just an important milestone in the research and development of high-end precision machine tools, and there is still a long way to go.
He gathered the team for a brief meeting.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today's results are the result of our joint efforts, but we must be clear that this is just the beginning."
"Next, we will further improve this technology and gradually promote it to more application scenarios."
The team members nodded in agreement.
Zhang suggested, “We could consider applying this technology to other types of machine tools, such as CNC milling machines and lathes, to expand the impact of our technology.”
Zhao added: "At the same time, we still need to conduct more durability and reliability tests to ensure that this technology can operate stably under various extreme conditions."
Zhou Ziwen nodded in agreement: "That's right. Next, we will divide into several groups, each responsible for testing in different directions."
"Zhou Ming, you will be responsible for durability and reliability testing; Zhang Ting, you will be responsible for compatibility testing with other types of machine tools."
In the subsequent work, Professor Liu frequently communicated with relevant departments, reported project progress in a timely manner, and strived for more resources and support for the team.
With his rich industry experience and connections, he connected the team with more advanced testing equipment and invited top domestic mechanical experts to provide technical guidance to the team.
Under the guidance of experts, Zhou Ming's durability and reliability testing team optimized the testing plan to simulate complex working conditions that are closer to actual production.
During a high-intensity test simulating the processing of aviation parts, components made of a new alloy material showed signs of wear, and Zhou Ming immediately reported this to Zhou Ziwen and Professor Liu.
The team quickly organized a discussion and, based on Professor Liu's advice, improved the surface treatment process of the material, successfully enhancing the wear resistance of the component so that it could meet high-load and long-term working requirements.
When Zhang Ting was conducting compatibility tests with a CNC milling machine, she encountered a problem where the control system was incompatible with the new alloy components.
After she reported the problem to Zhou Ziwen, Professor Liu contacted a team of experts from the school's computer department to jointly overcome the problem.
After multiple rounds of debugging and algorithm optimization, the system mismatch problem was successfully solved. After applying the new alloy material, the CNC milling machine's processing accuracy was improved by 30% and the processing efficiency was also increased by 20%.
With the help of Professor Liu, Li Hua's cost control team established cooperation with several large material companies to jointly develop more economical material production processes.
After repeated trials and improvements, a new smelting method was found that reduced costs by 25% while maintaining material performance, greatly improving the market competitiveness of the technology. (End of this chapter)
