Chapter 181: It’s no use regretting it, Shougang’s sudden idea

Data doesn’t lie.

Well, except for cheating!

Experts from the Ministry of Metallurgy quickly confirmed the situation of the new generation of bearing steel at Xingtai Iron and Steel, and everyone's evaluation was undoubtedly very high.

Whether it is hardness, wear resistance, toughness, contact fatigue strength, elastic limit, corrosion resistance, processing performance and mechanical properties, the performance is excellent.

The experts from the Ministry of Metallurgy felt that they had struck gold, and the bearing steel produced by Xinggang naturally passed the review smoothly.

Then, Xinggang did not waste any time and immediately started large-scale production of this bearing steel.

"Xiao Jiang, I just heard from a friend in the Ministry of Metallurgy that the new generation bearing steel project that Capital Institute of Technology and Capital Institute of Iron and Steel worked on with Xinggang has successfully passed the review?"

Chen Qi was very concerned about matters related to the Hummer project. He knew that Jiang Hui was deeply involved in this project, and he also knew that various ministries including the First Ministry of Machine Building and the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building attached great importance to it.

There are actually quite a few military projects in the country.

However, the vast majority of projects are trying to catch up with the international advanced level, or to catch up with the level of others from more than ten years ago.

Only the Hummer project, as soon as it appeared, made everyone realize that it might be the most advanced military vehicle in the world.

Among so many "sons", there is finally one who is doing well. It would be strange if everyone did not pay attention to him.

"Yes, all parameters are performing very well."

"The tensile strength is greater than 980Mpa, the yield strength is greater than 830Mpa, the elongation is greater than 8%, and the impact toughness is also greater than 40 joules per square centimeter."

"It can be said that it is at least one generation more advanced than the bearing steel currently produced by Shougang, and can be compared with the most advanced products of internationally advanced bearing steel manufacturers such as Kobe Steel and SKF."

"This is also a huge progress in the domestic metallurgical industry, which will affect the production and manufacturing of various bearings."

Although this project has not been underway for a long time, Jiang Hui has given it a very high evaluation.

A high-performance bearing steel is really important.

Although there has only been a breakthrough in automotive bearing steel, there are still many other types of bearing steel that need to be continuously improved. However, with such a good start, everyone's confidence is different.

In time, there is still hope that China's bearing steel level will catch up with the international advanced level as a whole.

Although bearings seem to be inconspicuous, in fact, there are almost no mechanical equipment that do not need bearings.

It can be said that bearings are one of the most important parts in the history of human mechanical development.

Another possible factor is the gears.

"You guys are really amazing for solving the bearing steel problem so quickly."

"Xiao Jiang, I have to tell you, if the Ministry of Metallurgy wants to recruit you, you have to stand firm."

Chen Qi said this in a joking manner.

But Jiang Hui knew that he was not joking.

It’s just that many times, words said in a joking manner can leave some wiggle room for each other.

Both Chen Qi and Jiang Hui are very clear about this.

"Chief Engineer Chen, we will definitely have frequent dealings with the Ministry of Metallurgy in the future. The various metal processing plants under their jurisdiction have close ties with our automobile manufacturing plant."

"Even if I don't go to the Ministry of Metallurgy, I can still help them deal with some things."

"Besides, I didn't go even though the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building asked me to go. Now I can't just go because the Ministry of Metallurgy invites me, right?"

Chen Qi said this to Jiang Hui in a joking manner, and Jiang Hui also answered the question in a joking manner. "That's true. The conditions offered by FAW and Second FAW were not low at all. Your development prospects there may not be worse than those in the Ministry of Metallurgy."

After hearing what Jiang Hui said, Chen Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just that he was relieved, but some people were different.

Zuo Guangsheng, who also received the news, looked very unhappy at this time.

"Factory Zhou, Xinggang has successfully developed a new generation of bearing steel. Experts from the Ministry of Metallurgy have gone to the site for review and have given this steel a very high evaluation."

"I also called the ministry to confirm, and the news is true and reliable."

Zuo Guangsheng now regrets that he did not withstand the pressure in the factory to promote the research and development of bearing steel after his last communication with Zou Yuan and others.

Shougang is now one of the eight demonstration factories in the country's reform pilot projects. If it can develop a new generation of bearing steel in this process, the political significance will be absolutely extraordinary.

Maybe Zhou Gang could go one step further and become the deputy minister of the Ministry of Metallurgy, and he himself could successfully take over the position of factory director.

Now it feels a little off.

The key point is that many people will definitely use this incident to make a fuss, thinking that Shougang’s management team does not have a good vision.

Some people even think that the reason why Shougang is doing well now is because of the high-strength automotive steel plate project.

It just so happens that this project was developed with the help of Zou Yuan and his team.

When all kinds of information come together, the reputation of Shougang is very bad.

Zuo Guangsheng was full of regret at this time.

But it’s no use regretting it, there is no medicine for regret in this world.

Otherwise, even if it is sold at a price higher than gold, it can still become the world’s best-selling medicinal material.

"It's only been less than three months, right?"

"Xinggang has actually developed a new generation of bearing steel?"

As the director of Shougang, Zhou Gang is naturally very clear about the situation of other domestic steel mills.

Zhou Gang had never taken small local factories like Xinggang seriously before.

He felt that only Anshan Iron and Steel, Mashan Iron and Steel, and Baosteel, which was under construction, could pose a threat to him.

Now, unexpectedly, an accident happened.

"Yes, but it certainly has nothing to do with their own efforts. It's mainly due to the technical guidance provided by the Capital Iron and Steel Institute and the Capital Industrial Institute. Xinggang has only provided some production lines and related experimental equipment."

Shougang had its own experience in promoting high-strength automotive steel plates, similar to Xinggang’s.

Therefore, Zuo Guangsheng is very clear about the research and development of the new generation of bearing steel.

Because he was very clear about the situation, he felt even more regretful.

As long as Shougang cooperates well with Zou Yuan, Zhu Jiansheng and others before, the results this time will definitely belong to Shougang.

They have listed all the formulas and processes for the materials, so you just have to test them.

Thinking of this, Zuo Guangsheng suddenly said, "Director Zhou, we still have some of the information that Professor Zou gave us before. Can we use this information to produce bearing steel?"

Anyway, there is no patent law in the country, so Zhou Gang is not worried at all about the risks of doing this.
