Chapter 189: New Alloys

“The end of the meteorite?” Jiang Ji looked down at the white end of the box.

“Aren't you researching and developing a new alloy? Try adding it to the alloy.” Su Xin said.

“OK.” Jiang Ji nodded and took over the box. Although the meteorite was not very good in his mind, it was a bit mysterious for ordinary people, however, he could have studied a lot, and he knew that the meteorite was rarely really usable, but since the new boss was interested, it would be good to try it.

“I'll leave you to the institute. Also, the research process and results of this meteorite fragmentation can't penetrate the outside world. If you find anything, let me know first.” Su Zheng stood up.

“Don't worry, boss.” Jiang Ji nodded. After Su Qi left, Kang Ji entered the laboratory with white powder. First, he tested the white powder and was surprised to discover that the substance was not only hard, corrosion resistant and heat resistant, but also presented a solid polygonal structure at high temperatures and pressures, which had never been recorded.

Jiang Ji developed a strong curiosity about this white powder. According to Su Zheng, he tried to add it to the alloy. First, he added a trace amount to the titanium alloy. It was only a preliminary test, but he didn't expect that the smelted titanium alloy had changed miraculously.

“Let's test the intensity first.” Jiang Ji, on the other hand, continued to test the white powder.

“Okay, Dr. Kang.” The two assistants tested very proficiently, and when the results came out, neither of them could believe their eyes, thinking they were wrong.

“What's the matter?” Kang Ji was very strange to the two assistants.

“Dr. Kang, I'm sorry we made a mistake. Try again.” The two assistants apologized.

“A test of strength can be mistaken, can you be serious?” Jiang Ji was harsh, not long after graduation, but a very talented master's student, he was very eager, so he was also particularly harsh.

“It's Dr. Kang.” The two assistants tested it again, but the result was the same: they stared wide-eyed.

“What's the matter?” Jiang Ji frowned.

“Dr. Kang, this newly smelted titanium alloy is about 1.5 times stronger than the beta-titanium alloy.” Two assistants shocked the tunnel.

“How is this possible?” Jiang Ji's pupils slightly shrunk.

Titanium is an allotropic isomer with a melting point of 1668°C and a dense row of hexagonal lattice structures, called alpha titanium, at less than 882°C and a somatic cubic lattice structure, called beta titanium, at more than 882°C.

Taking advantage of the different characteristics of the two structures described above, appropriate alloy elements are added to obtain titanium alloys of different tissues with the gradual change in phase temperature and phase content. At room temperature, titanium alloys have three matrix tissues, and titanium alloys fall into the following three categories: alpha alloys, (alpha + beta) alloys, and beta alloys. China is represented by TA, TC and TB respectively.

Of these, β titanium alloy has the highest strength. If any titanium alloy is 1.5 times stronger than β titanium alloy, that's bullshit.

So, Kang Ji didn't believe it, he personally tested it, and the result was the same.

“Dr. Kang, this is amazing! ”

“Dr. Kang, did you invent a new alloy? ”

Both assistants were excited to invent new alloys, even if they were not inventors, but assistants, and it was an honor.

“Continue to detect other parameters.” Jiang Ji was extremely excited to test with two assistants, the more shocked the detection, you know, different titanium alloy performance has advantages and disadvantages, but this newly smelted titanium alloy is more stable, more abrasion-resistant, more resistant to oxidation and more resistant to high temperatures than alpha titanium alloy tissue; at the same time, it is more resilient than beta alloy strength and can be treated with higher heat intensity; the combined performance is more than 1.5 times that of (alpha + beta) alloy. Simply put, this is super titanium alloy.

“What exactly did Boss Su give me?” Jiang Ji looked at the white powder on the table in shock. He was excited, but not proud at all, because he knew that it was not mainly his fault.

“This new type of titanium alloy is definitely going to shock the world. The gold boss doesn't believe in Dr. Kang's research. I'm afraid he'll regret it in the future. Mr. Su just bought the research institute, and it was such a good thing. It's also too lucky.” Two master's students sighed with excitement.

“I'm afraid it's not luck.” Jiang Ji muttered in his heart and suddenly felt that this Su boss was much more mysterious than he thought.

“Change the proportions and continue the experiment.” Jiang Ji commanded that by changing the content of white powder for smelting, and adjusted by various smelting methods, the waste sleep forgotten to eat for two consecutive days, and found that with the increase in the proportion of white powder, the parameters can still increase, when the proportion rises to 0.05%, the effect is weak. At this point, the combined performance is more than twice that of the (α + β) alloy.

After the successful research, Jiang Ji called Su Ji excitedly to get the news. Su Ji was excited and gave Jiang Ji more white powder. He was instructed to work with the factory to smelt alloy plates according to the design drawings. He was prepared to use this new alloy to strengthen the ground floor of the building.

“Boss, what are you building so many alloy plates for?” Jiang Ji was confused.

“I use it privately, but don't worry, although it won't bring benefits to the Institute, your bonuses won't be small.” Su Qian said.

“I'm not worried about this, it's just a matter of urgency. Shouldn't we be thinking about using this technology, selling it to the state, or making a profit from mass production?” Jiang Ji said that he wasn't really greedy, but if the Institute was profitable, he wouldn't have to worry about collapsing. Moreover, he would like to see his mentor, disappointed in himself, be able to regain pride in the success of the study.

“Not in a hurry, just apply for a patent first. One of the major flaws with this patent is that this meteorite powder, in limited quantities, cannot be produced in large quantities.” Su Qian said.

“That's a problem.” Jiang Ji frowned and was excited to forget the key points, "Boss, let me take care of this question, let me see if I can find a replacement substance by studying the elemental composition and structure of this meteorite powder, or synthesizing it manually. ”

“Well, I'll leave it to you, but smell out the alloy plates I need before I use them urgently. ”

“Okay.” Jiang nodded. Although he said that the new alloy plate was for Su Ji's private use, he did not dare to be lazy. After all, Su Ji was the only life-saving straw he currently had. Moreover, strictly speaking, the main credit for inventing this new alloy was not his own. However, in the meteorite powder given by Su Ji, it was also his right for Su Ji to bring it for his private use.
