Chapter 418 Steel No. 4140
“This is the position.”
Lei Jingfeng pointed to the position where a worker was working and said.
"Well, let me see."
Chen Jianye nodded.
He stood there and watched the workers work on five parts with Lei Jingfeng.
“If the workstation is modified according to the drawings, efficiency will indeed be improved, but there is a repetitive action that can be omitted.”
Chen Jianye made a judgment.
"Yeah, I also think it can be made simpler, but I can't figure out how to modify the blueprint right now."
Lei Jingfeng's eyes lit up slightly.
At the same time, I secretly admired Chen Jianye. The other party just took a look at the drawings and came to the on-site workstation to look at it for a while, and then he accurately judged the problem.
I really don't have this ability.
"Simple."
"Find a place where I can sit and paint, and I'll make some minor changes."
Chen Jianye said.
The two came to the nearest team area.
Lei Jingfeng took out a piece of paper, and Chen Jianye took out the pen hanging on his chest and designed on the spot.
Compared with the original drawing, he only changed the position of the clamp.
"Oh, it's amazing. After this place was modified, the workers can do their work more smoothly."
Lei Jingfeng looked at the drawings and marveled.
"Give this drawing to the fixture manufacturing team."
Chen Jianye's face was calm.
He has heard a lot of similar praise.
Lei Jingfeng quickly called someone and asked the latter to bring the drawings to the fixture production team.
He accompanied Chen Jianye in strolling around the second workshop.
Chen Jianye likes to watch the workers operate. After watching, he would ask Lei Jingfeng what the uses of the parts produced by this position are, what quality factors need to be paid attention to, etc.
Lei Jingfeng is experienced and knows all the parts produced in the second workshop.
It gave Chen Jianye a lot of inspiration.
In the afternoon, Chen Jianye went to workshop 3.
His time is divided into two parts.
In the morning, I hung out in workshop 2 with Lei Jingfeng, and in the afternoon, I went to workshop 3 and hung out with Xia Jinhui.
At the same time, collect the progress of fixture transformation in the two workshops so that you can have a clear idea of the situation.
If Ren Shouwen or Zhang Cangfeng asked about the modification of the fixture, he would not be at a loss for words.
Chen Jianye stood in front of a row of steel pipes and watched the lathe milling parts carefully. Then the workers checked them and placed the steel pipes on the parts rack.
"Xia Gong, the steel pipes produced at this station have very high requirements on the size of the parts."
“And it seems important that the parts produced are not simply stacked but placed on the cloth.”
Chen Jianye asked curiously.
"The steel pipes produced at this workstation are all used to make gun barrels."
Xia Jinhui whispered.
"No wonder the requirements are so strict. If the barrel is not made properly, it will be a big deal for the soldiers on the front line."
Chen Jianye understood.
"Of course not. This workstation requires very high precision, and the quality of the steel is top-notch. It is called 4140 steel in the industry, and is specially used to make plane frames of aircraft, drive shafts of cars, and the rifle barrels we see now."
"Its ingredients must be very precisely proportioned. It must be wear-resistant, drop-resistant, cold-resistant, heat-resistant, and deformable. It is one of the highest-level production materials in our factory."
"Don't underestimate it. This thing can be fired 5,000 times without deformation, which means it can complete at least 5,000 accurate shots."
Xia Jinhui introduced.
"It's so amazing. It seems that I didn't know enough about the steel mill before."
Chen Jianye was slightly surprised.
He knew that the steel rolling mill had many military-related production projects, but he did not expect that such an ordinary position in front of him would actually produce military gun barrels.
"Haha, you'll know after you've been doing this for a while."
"Many of our factory's projects are for military use, but only a few people know about it. I'm telling you, don't tell anyone else."
Xia Jinhui reminded.
"That's natural. I'm not a big mouth."
Chen Jianye nodded.
Something suddenly occurred to him.
He has a ready-made formula for alloy steel in his mind.
Stronger wear resistance, deformation resistance, cold and heat resistance than 4140 steel.
"Mr. Xia, does our factory have a higher grade of steel than 4140 steel?"
Chen Jianye asked.
In case the steel mill has better materials, he will not have to use the formula in his mind.
“Yes, there are, but they cannot be mass-produced.”
"The technical office has been researching and trying to come up with a steel with better performance than 4140 steel, but mass production is a big problem."
Xia Jinhui introduced.
“Indeed, no matter how good the material is, it can be made in the laboratory, but it cannot be mass-produced, and cannot be mass-produced, which is equivalent to a castle in the air.”
Chen Jianye was slightly happy in his heart and agreed on the surface.
His formula is suitable for mass production.
This means that his third innovative invention project can be approved!
He already had the complete formula, and setting up the project was just a formality.
One month is enough time for him to complete the project and meet the requirements for promotion from LV7 to LV8 as a fitter.
Everything will fall into place.
Chen Jianye continued to accompany Xia Jinhui to check the third workshop. At 3:30, he left the third workshop early and came to the technical office.
"Engineer Luo."
Chen Jianye went straight to Luo Renping's workstation.
"Comrade Jianye, what's the matter?"
Luo Renping asked.
“I saw the manufacturing of rifle barrels in Workshop 4140 today, learned about the advantages and disadvantages of steel, and wanted to transform and upgrade it.
"The technical office should have relevant information on 4140 steel. Can I retrieve it?"
Chen Jianye went straight to the point.
"Oh, I can't make the decision. 4140 steel is a military material. You need Chief Engineer Su's approval before you can get the relevant information."
"Jianye, let me ask you first, are you planning to launch another project?"
Luo Renping's eyes lit up.
He had already had a full meal with Chen Jianye, and if Chen Jianye continued to do research, he had to keep up.
"I have this intention, but I still need to learn more about the situation before making a decision on whether I can do it or not."
Chen Jianye did not give an accurate answer.
He still doesn't know whether the formula in his mind is ahead of its time.
"That's fine, let's go find Engineer Su together."
Luo Renping stood up.
He had to cling to Chen Jianye's thigh.
"I'll go as well."
"I'll go with you."
In the technical office, several other engineers quickly stood up, fearing that they would fall behind.
"Why are so many people going? Comrade Jianye and I will be enough."
"You all sit down."
Luo Renping hurriedly greeted him.
"Lao Luo, this is where you're wrong. Comrade Chen Jianye wants to learn, and we're helping him. Why can't we do that?"
"Yes, we are eager to help."
"Lao Luo, you can't eat alone."
Several engineers were talking to each other.
"Hey, we're in the same office. If there's a project to do, I can still exclude you."
"Now Jianye and I will go to find Engineer Su. Two people are enough. It would be a shame if a group of people went."
"Don't worry, if Comrade Jianye officially approves the project, I will definitely invite you to join me, okay?"
Luo Renping explained.
"Okay, then you, as the representative, must talk to Chief Engineer Su nicely."
"Jianye, if Lao Luo can't figure it out, come find us again."
"Yes, we will all help you."
Several engineers expressed their attitude.
They all have the same idea, to cling to Chen Jianye's leg, participate in projects, and accumulate personal honors.
