Chapter 253, Refining Alloy 2

After giving instructions to the other workers, Jiang Yan put on the leather one-piece protective suit with their assistance.

After finishing those things, Jiang Yan started by placing the aluminum ingots at the bottom of the furnace, and then placed a layer of zinc on top, with a lower melting point.

All kinds of metals that came from the east were stuffed into the converter according to proportions by Jiang Yan, especially when adding magnesium blocks, Jiang Yan was extremely careful.

After Zhai Mule put everything away, Jiang Yan pressed the start button. The temperature outside the furnace began to rise, and the metal began to melt one after another according to the melting point. As the temperature inside the furnace continued to rise, all the metals melted and merged into one.

Through the observation window, Jiang Yan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the metal that had formed a liquid state.

When they arrived outside the cordon, with Guo Jianjun's help, Jiang Yan took off his Donglai uniform with great difficulty. Only then did people realize that all of Jiang Yan's clothes were soaked with sweat.

"Gong Jiang, please go back and change some clothes. The wind in Bingcheng in May is very cold."

As if no means confirming something, as Guo Jianjun finished speaking, liquid wind blew into the hot workshop, bringing cool air to the originally stuffy workshop.

Jiang Yan shuddered, but he was still wrong. Guo Jianjun said, "It's okay. He immediately went to observe the temperature of the fire. Wherever the temperature is high, the clothes will probably be dried in a while."

After saying that, he took the large teapot handed over by Guo Jianjun and drank the warm water in it in one breath.

I put on a cowhide apron, put on insulated leg warmers, and was about to go inside.

Just after taking two steps, he turned around and said to Guo Jianjun, who was standing there: "Go back and boil the water and add a little salt to him."

After saying that, he strode towards the oxygen blowing converter.

Through the observation window, Jiang Yan saw that the flame had turned light yellow.

Generally speaking, when the temperature is lower than 1000℃, the color of the fire is reddish; in the range of 1000~2000℃, the color of the fire also becomes lighter and yellower; when the temperature exceeds 2000℃, the flame appears light cyan.

He raised his head and glanced at the thermometer. At this time, the temperature of the flame had reached 1860 degrees.

Alloy is a substance with metallic properties that is synthesized by a certain method from two or more existing metals and metals or non-metals.

The melting point of most alloys is lower than that of its components.

Aluminum is a silver-red metal with a melting point of 660.4 degrees Celsius, and the melting point of magnesium is 648.9 degrees Celsius. The melting point of aluminum-magnesium alloy is higher than both, at 650.3 degrees Celsius.

Jiang Yan added some different metals to the aluminum-magnesium alloy. Among them, the metal with the highest melting point is titanium. Its melting point is 1668±4℃. The current temperature reaches 1860, which is too hot and needs to be cooled down.

Jiang Yan pressed the button and closed the door of the combustion chamber, reducing the circulation in the space inside. The circulation in the space was reduced, and the flame naturally became smaller. At that time, the thermometer showed that the temperature was dropping little by little.

When the temperature dropped to 1,700 degrees, Jiang Yan stopped moving his legs.

Open the oxygen blower and start blowing oxygen. In that climate, the moisture in Jiang Yan's originally wet clothes was affected by the residual heat of the stove, and the moisture on the clothes began to evaporate.

A strange scene appeared. Due to the appearance of water vapor, Jiang Yan now looked at the mist surrounding him, as if he had practiced external skills.

"The forging is almost over." Guo Jianjun, who was bored and waiting, quickly turned around when he heard the voice behind him.

It turned out that Director Zhao was worried about the refining situation in the workshop, and felt that he was not in immediate danger, so he took people to the workshop.

"It's five minutes." Guo Jianjun looked at his watch and said.

"Does Xiao Jiang operate it alone?" Director Zhao asked.

"No, more than ten minutes have passed. Worker Jiang has told us that workers will only be allowed in when the gate is opened."

Those five minutes felt extremely long to everyone waiting outside. Guo Jianjun and Director Zhao frequently looked at their leg watches.

"The master workers are in place and will open the gate in one minute."

A roar came from inside, and the workers and masters outside the cordon heard the sound and entered in an orderly manner. They went to their posts according to what Jiang Yan had explained before, and went all out.

"open the gate"

When Jiang Yan finished speaking, he activated the button to open the gate.

The red metal solution poured eastward from the furnace mouth and flowed out along the track.

Seeing the metal solution flowing out, the master workers quickly placed the prepared containers at the crossing to catch the flowing solution.

The molded aluminum-magnesium alloy bakers hooked it with hooks and dragged it aside.

Soon the furnace of aluminum-magnesium alloy turned into alloy ingots emitting heat.

"Xiao Jiang, how is the situation?" Director Zhao couldn't wait to ask after seeing Jiang Yan who had just come out.

"The refining process went very smoothly. I took the time to check it after it cooled down."

"Okay, he's done it. Xiao Jiang, I've worked hard. Come and take a rest. He'll arrange for others to do the rest."

When Jiang Yan heard Factory Director Zhao's words, he was not polite and walked away to Donglai.

At this time, he was really tired. The clothes he was wearing were soaked with sweat and dried again so many times that a thin layer of red marks appeared on the clothes.

After Jiang Yan came back from the east, Guo Jianjun quickly brought him a large glass of warm water.

"There's salt in it."

Hearing Guo Jianjun's words, Jiang Yan's legs stopped for a moment, and he directly took the big tea vat and drank tons and tons of it. The slightly salty boiled water entered his stomach and felt very comfortable.

After drinking the water, Jiang Yan burped again in an awkward manner.

"Xiao Jiang, are you ready to start the second furnace?" Director Zhao, who was waiting for the metal to cool down, asked as he walked beside Jiang Yan.

"Let's wait for the test results to come out! Director Bu Nao, he suggested that if our factory really wants to refine aluminum-magnesium alloys, we should open a separate workshop! That workshop should be far away from other workshops, pure magnesium, I also

You know, it's too dangerous, and it can easily cause an explosion if you're not careful."

Hearing Jiang Yan's words, Director Zhao smiled bitterly, "The refining workshop in our factory is mainly for experiments and small batch production. Believe it or not, once I sort out the process of refining aluminum-magnesium alloys,

When it comes out, the superiors will send engineers from other large steel plants to study. When the time comes, they will be responsible for refining it, and our factory will not be mainly engaged in the production of firearms."

Jiang Yan only reacted after hearing what Director Zhao said. No, can the 663 Factory be an arsenal? The production of alloys is a matter of a steel mill. The rolling mill where he works is also a steel mill. Did he invent that thing himself?

There is no reason not to participate in Yidong. If your factory really participates, maybe the level and nature of the factory will change. It will be beneficial to you and the rolling mill.

It seems that I have to fight for something, and I will do nothing if I ask for permission. After I go there, I guess Factory Manager Yang will take advantage of all his thoughts.

Please think about this matter carefully and see how to operate it.

"Xiao Jiang, he wants to wait until the original comes out and reaches the predetermined value, and then he can refine it again. Can he bring an engineer from their factory with him?"

"No problem, he will take care of it when the time comes."

At this time, Jiang Yan was eager to do that! He would teach the engineers in their factory to the engineers in other factories, and he would save himself a lot of trouble!

I don’t want to run around every day. Traveling on business when transportation is not developed is really a beautiful thing.
