Chapter 20 Does this machine have a warranty?

It can't be moved, this is really a big trouble. For super glass, Liang Shicheng has given high hopes and hopes to use them to make various parts that require strength.

If it can't be processed, it can only be used as ordinary tempered glass. The market is limited to traditional industries, although it may be able to easily squeeze out opponents in these industries.

But Liang Shicheng didn't take making money as the first goal at all. He was thinking about replacing the hot metal materials that are machined with this super material, and then bringing huge changes to the world.

The inability to process means that it can only be molded with a mold at one time, cannot achieve extremely high precision, and cannot produce complex shapes.

Unable to perform tapping operation, even to set some screw holes for installation on the parts.

Although many mechanical parts, including automobile engines, have chosen to use molds to form blanks to reduce costs, they must be precision-processed before they can be used. At present, there is no mold that can be produced with extremely high precision. of.

Real problems are always unexpected. Even if a new material is developed and produced in a laboratory, there are many problems to be solved if the material is put into actual use.

After receiving the call, Liang Shicheng went straight to the laboratory without saying anything. Wang Kai waited there for a long time. Seeing his boss came, he immediately took out the sample produced yesterday from a cabinet.

The shape of this sample is not very regular. Liang Shicheng carefully held it in his hand and observed it for a long time. The appearance is still normal and no different from ordinary glass, except that there is some rust on the two contact surfaces of the ultra-high voltage. .

Liang Shicheng winked at Wang Kai, then placed the sample on the table carefully, and asked:

"Yesterday's parameters have been confirmed and written down. There is no coincidence. Are you sure you can make a new sample according to that step immediately?"

Wang Kai was full of confidence and replied:

"I have made three samples of this kind last night, and I can confirm that I can repeat the experiment, and there will be no loss in taking out one to test.

I know you can't wait to do the strength test, so rest assured that there is absolutely no problem.

I have seen its internal structure with a crossed polarizer. It is almost exactly the same as the first sample you gave before. The stress directions from the inside to the outside are all biased to one side, and eventually point to a point. Theoretically, the properties are exactly the same. of.

Even if I don’t do strength experiments, I can be sure of its performance."

Liang Shicheng is not so confident, he still believes that seeing is believing in his character.

"Anyway, the equipment has already been bought, and it can't be wasted. Since I'm here, let's witness it together."

Then Liang Shicheng took the sample and went to another room with Wang Kai, which contained various destructive equipment.

Wang Kai pointed to a red mark on the sample and said:

"This point is the only weakness on this piece of material. To protect the material, I set it up a few millimeters recessed in the material. It is just a very small point, but don't touch it when doing experiments. "

Next, Liang Shicheng used a hydraulic machine to test the material. Although videos of the hydraulic machine being broken by Rupert’s Tears are everywhere on the Internet, the hydraulic machines are also graded. When a certain level is exceeded, some of them can still destroy Rupert’s Tears. of.

The hydraulic press in the room has a background, called the Dali brand hydraulic press, which claims to be the strongest among the ones that can be bought on earth, and the two clamping surfaces also use the hardest metal alloy Nitinol.

The equipment has only one protection measure. If it detects that the two clamping surfaces are in contact, it can be energized, and it will stop working immediately, otherwise the machine will not shrink back no matter what is being pressed.

According to the salesperson, the Dali brand hydraulic press is not only powerful, but also of high quality, and has a long service life. Except for man-made fire damage, if there is a failure, you will lose ten if you break it.

After the sample was clamped, the pressure was set to maximum, and the equipment was set to automatically start at a time. The two people left the room and looked outside the door to avoid accidents.

Then they heard the struggling sound of the hydraulic press until the sound stabilized. Two people came in with goggles and helmets. They carefully operated the hydraulic press to separate its teeth and prepare to take out the first sample.

But they found that the hydraulic press didn't move, it seemed to be broken.

"What should I do? The stress test hasn't finished yet, and there are several other aspects to be tested. Does the machine you bought have a warranty?"

Liang Shicheng looked at the severely deformed machine, then looked at the intact experimental sample clamped by the machine, and replied:

"The warranty doesn't matter, we can't be so shameless and buy a few more."

However, the experiment cannot be interrupted in this way. They still need to perform the next few tests, so they have to find a way to take the first sample out of the hydraulic press. After working for a long time, they finally unloaded the hydraulic press for eight yuan, only to find out. All this is in vain.

Although the two contact surfaces of the hydraulic press are made of the hardest alloy, the first sample is now completely embedded in the two contact surfaces, and the two contact surfaces are distorted and deformed like mud. It's wrapped in it, so I can't deduct it.

Facing such a scene, Wang Kai, who was prepared in his heart, still showed a surprised and depressed expression.

However, Liang Shicheng felt beautiful at this time. This is the strength of glass that has been strengthened from the inside to the outside. It is much stronger than Rupert's Tears and tempered glass with only the surface strengthened.

Wang Kai found a large seam under the metal covering the glass sample, and began to find tools in the laboratory. He wanted to pry out the first super glass sample. After a long time, there was no progress.

"Why don't we just do it, no matter how we buckle and pry it, it should be impossible to get it out. You know that metal is also very hard. Didn't you say that you made three pieces? Take another piece out." Liang Shicheng said upon seeing this .

After taking out the second sample, a tapping experiment and a punching experiment were carried out.

The purpose of the percussion experiment is to prove that the super glass will not explode due to huge vibrations. A 300 kg metal weight is continuously lifted by the machine to two meters and then dropped. This process is repeated repeatedly. The super glass does not move. The metal weight There were dents on the bottom of the device and on the platform of the device, and Liang Shicheng immediately terminated the experiment.

"If this continues, the second sample will also be included."

The last experiment was perforating. After using several 8,000 euros imported German drills, the surface of the super glass still has no obvious scratches under the magnifying glass.

Seeing this, Liang Shi was so angry that he was about to cry. It was not the German drills that he was distressed.

Liang Shicheng is very satisfied with the properties of the super glass that has been produced in the laboratory, but the depressing thing before has been recalled again. This thing is so strong, then how do I process it in the future!!

Wang Kai gave a pessimistic opinion. He has tested many kinds of materials, and still leaves no scratches at all. In this way, let alone cutting, it is useless even if it is slowly polished. He couldn't think of any processing method for the time being.

Just when Liang Shicheng was at a loss for this problem, he suddenly remembered that company, De Beers, maybe they could try it out.

So Liang Shicheng took out the samples produced in the third laboratory and mailed them to De Beers.
