Chapter 536 Material dispute

Unlike small aircraft, composite component forming technology is the key to making large aircraft. Composite material is a new type of material composed of high strength and high stiffness reinforcing materials laid in the matrix. It has a series of advantages such as high specific strength, high specific modulus, good fatigue resistance, good stealth and corrosion resistance.

The use of composite materials on the aircraft means that the structural weight of the aircraft can be significantly reduced and the performance of the aircraft improved. The carbon fiber composite material proposed by Xiaoxiaoxiao is a carbon laminate that can be used in commercial aircraft fuselage and wing parts, and can even skin the fuselage instead of aluminum alloy!

In addition, carbon fiber composites can also be used in brake wheels, carbon brake discs and carbon disk anti-oxidation coatings.

It can be said that mastering a large area of ​​new carbon fiber composite forming technology is the focus of material technology in aerospace manufacturing!

The Red Letter Group's new material research base has issued a new proposal to Huaxia Commercial Aircraft Co., Ltd., hoping to take over the new carbon fiber composite material forming technology research project.

Huaxia Commercial Aircraft Company, a composite materials research base.

This material research base has a history of more than 20 years. It has been researching and manufacturing aerospace materials for a variety of small aircraft, fighter aircraft and rocket and other aviation machinery equipment.

The new carbon fiber composite molding technology research group, the main person in charge, Gao Wei, 55 years old this year, experts in the chemical industry, the field of materials research.

"High leader, you see, just the notice issued by the company, the first technical cooperation on the red letter, we found us!" A researcher handed the document notice to Gao Wei.

“Hey? They don’t go to the sensor and aviation system research group, but they are looking for us first?” Gao Wei was surprised. He knew that the Red Letter Group is the world leader in sensor and intelligent system research, thinking that the Red Letter Group will focus on these. Technical support in the field.

“I also found it, but our research group is a priority cooperation level, they attach great importance to material development,” the researcher said.

“This way.” Gao Wei pondered one or two and said: “That’s good, let’s see, what is the strength of the legendary “Black Technology Manufacturing Factory”?

......

Huaxia Commercial Aircraft Company, reception room.

The current ceo Peng Zhengge is negotiating with representatives of several foreign companies, and the cause of the negotiations is also due to the requirements of the Red Letter.

“General Peng.” An American business executive of Indian descent said in a strangely pronounced Chinese language, “Our large-area carbon fiber composite is the best in the world. More than 50% of the world’s commercial aircraft, The carbon fiber composite materials produced by our company are used on the body."

“Not only you, Boeing, Lockheed, United Airlines are using our carbon fiber composites. I don’t understand why Huaxia Commercial Aircraft is going to suspend its procurement plan for carbon fiber composites?”

The man, Anderson Foggs, is the head of the China region of Honeywell International.

Honeywell International, one of the world's top 500 technology companies, is aerospace, automotive and engineering materials, as well as industrial control technology and automation products.

One of the main technical partners of Huaxia Commercial Aircraft Company is Honeywell International. Many materials for the aircraft fuselage are provided by Honeywell International.

When Peng Zhenge and other management team cooperated with Honeywell International, they thought that they could get certain technical support from Honeywell International. Who knows that these Americans are very savvy, and all aspects of technology are sloppy.

In the end, Huaxia Commercial Aircraft Company can only purchase the aviation materials of their company at a high price for the manufacture of aircraft.

"Mr. Fergus, my company has encountered some problems in purchasing carbon fiber composite materials, so we have to suspend the procurement plan, but other materials, we will still purchase according to the procurement plan." Peng Zhengge did not say the reason.

However, Anderson Vogels himself speculated about the reason. He said directly: "As far as I know, you want to make this new carbon fiber composite material through the Red Letter Group?"

Peng Zhengge nodded and said: "This is also one of the reasons."

Anderson Vogels shook his head again and again and said: "I think this is a bad decision. Peng, I am friendly to advise you to dispel this idea. Carbon fiber composite materials used in large aircraft manufacturing are dozens of our company. Years of continuous research and improvement of technology. And through the adoption of a number of international aviation standards, there are decades of safety aviation history as a guarantee."

“First of all, as far as I know, there is almost no research laboratory on aviation materials in the research field of the Red Letter Group, if the small drone is also counted.”

“This shows that they have no historical experience and no professional researchers and technical reserves. Some high-tech companies in carbon fiber composites can be manufactured internationally, but they should be paved into a large-area carbon fiber composite material network to withstand aviation. The problems of high temperature, cold, rain and corrosion are the biggest technical problems."

"Aerospace is not a research toy. Once there is a problem with the material, it means that your aircraft will encounter serious safety problems. This is a disaster for the aviation company!"

Anderson Vogels strongly emphasized the technical and safety of Honeywell International. Peng Zhengge smiled and said: "Mr. Vogels, of course we understand. But the results may not be as bad as you said."

“No, no!” Anderson Vogels continued to deny, he said: “You should know that all materials of large aircraft are subject to international airworthiness standards, otherwise they will not be allowed to be used on commercial aviation aircraft.”

“Even if the Red Letter Group can help you speed up the problem of large-scale laying of carbon fiber composite materials, whether it can be tested and how long it will take, this is unknown. Your company’s large aircraft orders are delivered within the specified time limit. In summary, we are the best partner of Honeywell International!"

Anderson Fergus’s words made Peng Zhengge hesitate, and he said that there is some truth. At least now, their company continues to produce a number of carbon fiber composites for aircraft production to deliver aircraft orders from AVIC International Leasing Co., Ltd. previously obtained at the Beijing International Air Show.

"This way, Mr. Fergus. When the procurement plan, our company needs to adjust. If you are not busy, you can wait for our discussion and then discuss." Peng Zhengge said.

"Not busy, I plan to stay here these days and make some arrangements for other materials." Anderson Vogels did not plan to leave before the order was settled.
