Chapter 365 New models of stainless steel

Li Bingcheng's meaning was actually quite clear, but he didn't have the nerve to say it directly in front of Fang Mingyuan. Although Qinxi Calendering Equipment Factory is considered a large-scale state-owned enterprise in related industries in China, it has been removed from

Northeast China moved to Haizhuang. Although it is far away from places that may be damaged, it also brings a lot of transportation inconvenience. More importantly, the current machinery and equipment of Qinxi Calendering Equipment Factory are seriously out of date, and according to him

As we know, in recent years, Qinxi Calendering Equipment Factory's revenue and expenditure have also been very unbalanced. Otherwise, there would not have been a phenomenon of outsourcing the workshop.

Fang Mingyuan naturally knows what he is thinking. I am afraid that no one in this world understands better than him what the future of Qinxi Calendering Equipment Factory will be like. Of course, he will not tell Li Bingcheng that he is already in

*** purchased a small steel plant and moved the steel plant back to the country as soon as the country opened up the door for private capital to enter the steel industry. At that time, the results of his father's "training" these days will be able to play a certain role.

role. If his father is competent, Fang Mingyuan would not mind handing over the management of the steel plant to his father, and would continue to invest more to keep up with the pace of the world's steel industry, allowing him to be proud in the field he likes.

"How should I put it?" Li Bingcheng couldn't help but said, "Today's world is no longer an era of pursuing steel production. Nowadays, foreign steel companies pay more attention to the production of special steel. If we talk about these domestic steel companies

If we are not aware of this, in the future, our country's steel companies will still be the lowest suppliers in the steel industry. It is even possible that others will buy our crude steel and do a little processing to make it.

The price is several times higher and then sold back to the country. So, I think the most important thing now is to master technology. With truly capable technology, that is the right way to develop."

Li Bingcheng's words are not entirely correct, but they are correct for most of the future development of the world's steel industry. Fang Mingyuan knows very well that in the near future, as the steel industry liberalizes private enterprises, as the country will

The real estate industry is listed as a pillar industry. China's steel output almost doubled in a few years. It soon surpassed the United States, Japan, and Europe and became the world's largest producer.

Steel producing country.

But this number one has a lot of water content, that is, most of the steel produced in China is crude steel that can only be made into low-grade products, but it is used to build cars, ships, and aircraft.

Special steel still needs to be imported to a large extent. And indeed, as Li Bingcheng said, there is a phenomenon that foreign countries purchase crude steel from China, return it to the country for processing, and then sell it back to the country at the price of special steel.

And in order to produce these low-value crude steel, China has become the world's largest importer of iron ore. Most of the profits created by the steel industry every year are exploited by iron ore production companies, becoming a source of foreign companies sucking up domestic profits.

The tool is really distressing.

Fang Mingyuan immediately became somewhat interested in Li Bingcheng. To be honest, in his previous life, Fang Mingyuan had never seen this Li Bingcheng. However, he had had several opportunities to meet Xu Lin. In this life, due to Fang Mingyuan's

Destiny has changed, and the opportunity to meet Xu Lin has been missed inadvertently. But now it seems that Li Xinyu's father, Li Bingcheng, is not simple. In the 1990s, in China, this could be seen

It cannot be said that there are not many people, but Fang Mingyuan believes that there are definitely not many!

"Bingcheng! Why are you discussing this with someone when they come to visit us?" Xu Lin said softly, "Mingyuan, your Uncle Li is like this. He can't even say more than three words to someone, and he will turn around."

He's good at what he does. He was really indebted to you yesterday, otherwise, I really don't know what the result would be. Alas, I really didn't expect that Qionghai would be in such a mess!"

"Aunt Xu, it doesn't matter. What Uncle Li said makes sense. These problems are indeed the shortcomings of our country's steel industry. However, Uncle Li, you have found the shortcomings, but how to solve these problems?" Fang Mingyuan

Smiled and said to Xu Lin.

Li Bingcheng was startled for a moment. He just said this, so he just said it casually. He really didn't expect that Fang Mingyuan would be interested in continuing to listen, and even asked him how to solve it.

"Solved? Solved..." He looked at Fang Mingyuan and then at the door of the ward. Chen Zhong immediately sat at the door of the ward knowingly, so that if anyone came, Chen Zhong could see him immediately.

.

"Solving this problem is actually very simple, but it is also very difficult. That is to concentrate our efforts and invest huge amounts of research and development funds to achieve a real breakthrough in special steel smelting, so that our country's steelmaking technology can close the gap with the world's average level.

"Produce more special steel with high value and high profits, and less crude steel with low value and low availability. But under today's system, it is really difficult to do this!" Li Bingcheng has a deep understanding.

typical.

In China, the task of improving steel smelting technology is not the major steel companies, but various state-owned research institutes, or research institutes affiliated with universities. In these places, the habit of ranking based on seniority has long been formed.

Old people whose knowledge has long since aged out occupy the top leadership positions. They are short-sighted and can no longer see the future changes in the world. They only ask for funds from their superiors, and then squander it all back, but they can’t get anything decent at all.

the result.

However, the younger generation who really keep up with the pace of the world have no right to speak when applying for projects due to lack of power and money. And after applying for projects, they cannot make the decisions and can only watch helplessly as those old people

Guys who should be laid to rest have wasted all these precious funds. The result of this is that in many research institutes, young people are taking a leave of absence from their jobs and going to work to find their own future.

Moreover, even if there are results in these research institutes, it is difficult to translate them into productivity in the factory immediately. By the time the leaders above think of it, these results may have been outdated. Where Li Bingcheng is located

There was such a time in our research institute. Their institute made a breakthrough in stainless steel. However, after this achievement was reported, no one paid attention to it. Until now, it is still lying in the database of the institute.

.

"Stainless steel?" Fang Mingyuan interrupted Li Bingcheng in surprise. This was something he had not expected in advance. The Metallurgical Research Institute where Li Bingcheng worked actually made a breakthrough in the refining of stainless steel. This was an unexpected surprise.

Stainless steel refers to steel that is resistant to weak corrosive media such as air, steam, water, and chemical corrosive media such as acids, alkali, and salts. Since it will not corrode, pit, rust, or wear, it is widely used in the food industry, pharmaceutical industry, and

Surgical equipment industry, construction industry, shipbuilding industry, automobile manufacturing industry, [home appliance industry] all have quite large-scale applications. By two thousand years later, world output exceeded 20 million tons. And Fang Mingyuan knew that with the further advancement of technology,

With the development, the demand for stainless steel in all walks of life will be increasing.

For example, Fang Mingyuan remembered that there is a type of stainless steel that can be used as an ultra-high-strength material in the nuclear industry, aviation and aerospace industry because of its good formability and good weldability.

Stainless steel added with certain elements can obtain a special corrosion structure, which will be used in the manufacture of nuclear fuel recovery devices in the future.

High-strength cutting tool steel with a slightly higher carbon content is the hardest stainless steel. The most common application example is razor blades!

"Uncle Li, what are the characteristics of the stainless steel you have developed and what industry is it suitable for?" Fang Mingyuan immediately asked.

"What are the characteristics? Well... in short, it is that it greatly improves the corrosion resistance of salt. When we originally designed this type of stainless steel, we considered that in the cold areas of the north, in order to prevent road damage in winter,

To freeze bridges and bridges, salt is sometimes sprinkled, which will accelerate the corrosion of the steel bars used in these buildings and will inevitably affect their normal service life. Therefore, if this kind of stainless steel is used during the construction process,

Steel bars can maximize their service life." Li Bingcheng thought about it and said.

"Is there any similar technology in foreign countries today?" Fang Mingyuan was even more excited. There must be a market for this thing, such as the Soviet Union, Canada, even the United States, and the northern region of China. The demand for it will definitely not be low in the future.

"Yes, I remember that last year, I saw an international paper that also talked about this area. As for the specific practicality, it's hard to say. But there should be no similar paper in China.

Research results." Li Bingcheng said uncertainly. Although the reform and opening up has been going on for several years, he, who is located in the northwest region, is still a little closed-minded about the latest changes in international metallurgical technology.

"Uncle Li, do you intend to transfer this technology?" Fang Mingyuan asked.

"Transfer? Transfer to whom?" Li Bingcheng said, somewhat confused. The results produced by their research institute are all reviewed by higher-level departments. If they find them valuable, they negotiate with state-owned enterprises and then hand them over directly to the state-owned enterprises that need them.

.Although the term technology transfer is not a new term nowadays, it involves the technology of metallurgy, because the opening of private capital to enter the steel industry has not yet been opened, and to put this technology into practical use, a large amount of investment is required.

, so they never thought about being able to transfer it.

Fang Mingyuan nudged himself with his thumb and said, "Me!"
