Monster Factory

Overnight, Metal Smelting Center has forged a fifth of its marine alloy steel module.

These modular steels do not require any further machining or regular shipbuilding type water flame bending plates.

Twenty hard-working men have begun welding the hull of the supermassive ship on the base of the load pile. With two magnetically assisted lifting devices, they combined a block of modular alloy steel for welding using the most advanced welding techniques not yet available to humans.

Needless to say, the exposure of this welding technology alone can drive the U.S. industrial sector completely insane.

Welding is a very important technical topic in industrial processing.

The most common type of arc welding is the kind of welding technology that holds a transformer and uses a welding rod to dot or point there. This way of welding, everyone has seen it, quite a bit of skill, eating it all over the sky.

However, in a slightly more sophisticated factory, this welding technique can only be used to hand weld some scaffolds and stuff down the foot. For welding products, use semi-automatic arc welding or automatic gas protection welding technology at the end.

Ye Qing once recruited huge labor for the first time, he welded welds with an arc to surprise Ye Qing.

The inner row describes a beautiful weld, with a phrase called fish scales. It's that the welds are layered like scales, very neat. This scale can only be hand welded by the top welder. At the same time, the uniformly missed welded lines also represent a very guaranteed quality of this weld.

The cracks inside the weld point are small and consistent in strength.

If the master of ingenuity comes, he can weld whatever he wants, even paint with welding.

The emergence of automatic welding technology resolves the awkwardness of uneven worker welding technology. Smooth automatic wire feed mechanism and self-propelled guide rail ensure consistent weld height between metal materials. It is also the only technology used to weld precision construction.

But…

They don't weld super thick parts.

Welding wires can only be welded on metal surfaces, which is a matter of common sense. However, oversized machines typically require welding to a metal thickness of more than five centimeters. If welded only on the upper and lower sides, then there is a gap in the middle, far less intense than where it is not welded. In the event of a collision, or intense movement, a metal fracture occurs.

This is particularly fatal on giant wheels that need to confront waves.

So, in order to be able to weld out the qualifying super thickness, engineers strangle their brains and do whatever they can.

For example, when welding a super thick piece, first cut the two pieces of material to be welded out of the slope, and then weld the stack by layer. Until more advanced welding technology, master of ultra-thick welding technology, is a national treasure figure.

The greater the thickness of the weld, the more representative the rarity of the master.

With the development of welding technology, and mechanical motorization technology. Welding super thick parts, there has also been a mass demonic dance situation, various non-mainstream technology layers that everyone can master, until later the electric slag pile welding technology developed, unified river and lake.

Electric slag welding, which allows welding of super thick parts such as tank armor. The principle is that when welding the super thickness, a gap of about 30 mm is reserved beforehand. During welding, the welding wire slowly melts and accumulates in the gap, filling the reserved gap little by little.

But……

Electric slag welding does not weld the super thick hull of this super cargo ship in front of you. Because the defects of the slag welding are also quite obvious, the heat generated during welding is extremely high and the welding time is long. During welding, two welds must be securely clamped with a clamp to ensure no thermal deformation occurs.

When welding at the same time, a specific angle is required to ensure that the welding residue is stacked in the reserved seam. This angle is optimal vertically, if tilted up to a maximum of 30 degrees, otherwise the solder will overflow.

Look at this super-speed freighter welding in the Longxi Beach factory right now. The armor thickness of its important parts exceeds two meters. Most of the remaining thickened armoured areas, ranging from 50 cm to 1 m, have no thickened normal areas and are also 20 cm thick.

How does this weld?

Super giant wheels weigh tens of thousands of tons, how do you fix them with clamps, how do you rotate them to ensure that the welds are always vertical?

Newport News Shipbuilding is here, and we have to cry and blind ourselves to the platform.

The only non-mainstream solution is to cut an inclination angle of less than 30 degrees at the weld before welding, and use stack welding technology to remove the semi-manual little welding. But the question arises, not to mention how many years of welding are planned to be completed. How can this extremely high strength armoured material be quickly cut out of the slope?

After welding, how do you ensure the overall strength of the weld without cracks, bubbles or slag?

To ask this question, first figure out how, in World War II, those special thickened areas, fearless ships with armor thicknesses between 40 and 70 centimeters, were made.

Simple, no welding at all, no welding technology, direct thin armor layer by layer splicing with rivets.

This is also why a battleship is built for several years and can only be manufactured by specific workers.

The strength of multi-layer splicing molding is naturally much worse than forging molding, re-welding the enclosure armor, in terms of strength, and resistance to metal fatigue. It is also more time-consuming, since World War II, when this technology was eliminated by naval Powers.

Now, the ultra-thick hull welding technology that makes the world a headache is easily overtaken by the Longxi Beach shipyard, oh no, the Longxi Beach factory.

Two sedan-sized 3D electron beam metal melt printing devices, one up and one down, rely on magnetic adsorption on both sides of the super thick armor. They rely on electron beams, in the bombing chamber of the internal vacuum, to instantly bombard special alloy metal powders formulated by metal experts into high-velocity fluids between liquid and gaseous.

These fluids are sprayed through a special nozzle into the modular armor reserved gap held by the magnetic robot.

The gap is only five millimeters wide and the sparkling fluid ejected collides with each other like particles in a particle accelerator and quickly cools and sets under the action of an auxiliary cooling nozzle, which attaches to the middle of the gap. Two electronic beam printing devices, simultaneous fast reciprocating motion, fill up armoured gaps as quickly as a printer.

Armor is armor doped with hard alloys, but these are printed materials, but metal experts carefully match the super hard alloy powder. After printing, this “weld" not only presents a perfect metallic crystal arrangement under a metal observation device, but also without any dark wounds and bubbles.

And the "weld” strength is higher than the armor of this super cargo ship.

This is the real top industrial technology, Ye Qing dared to use a civilian supermassive ship to counteract the bass gas of the warship. And, of course, it's incredibly expensive.

To put it badly, the United States won't even be able to master this technology for another five or ten years.

…………

Another day later, inside the Longxi Beach factory, this super giant ship is the first to see it.

With the bow as its starting point, the purest alloy iron and steel scented enclosure has been made up by one fifth. On the back of the alloy housing, there is a vertical and horizontal staggered rib that resembles a dragon's alloy reinforcement rib.

These alloy reinforced ribs with a certain proportion of Nickel-Titanium Memory Alloy added. Metal fatigue, an industrial term in front of it, will never exist.

7: 30 a.m.

Ye Qing claimed to the senior management that the research and development [electromagnetic engine] in the factory has entered a critical moment, and he will be stationed in the factory for two days to watch the project.

The company affairs were well arranged and arranged. Ye Qing deliberately made a new hairstyle.

Originally, Ye Qing had short black hair. This time, the corner shovel on both sides was shortened. The repair was very hierarchical. It became the most fashionable. The most popular “airplane head” of the young people. It was also faintly dyed. Only in bright light can you see the flax blue.

A Prada trendy men's outfit with casual discoloration sunglasses, Ye Qing is now a handsome and young dude.

At 10: 00 a.m., Ye Qing brought a bodyguard-like metal expert to Zhongyun Airport. Instead of using the private corridor, take the VIP corridor and fly first class to the capital before transferring to RB.

Three-dimensional cameras are exclusive to Ye Qing and can only be used by himself, so Ye Qing is going to visit the aircraft carrier.
