Chapter 52： Plasma furnace

Chapter 52 Plasma Furnace

"Chief He, can be regarded as looking forward to you." Qiu Yang led Baosan's management and technicians to greet him outside the factory.

"Hello, President Qiu." He Xingzhou shook hands with him, and said briefly: "We have already tested the smelting furnace at the research institute, and trial production can be carried out here."

"That's great!" Qiu Yang told his assistant: "Hurry up and let the workers come over and install the furnace!"

At the same time, he whispered to He Xingzhou: “Chief He, there are several technical experts from the cherry blossom country who want to observe, is there a problem?”

He Xingzhou didn’t answer, he took the initiative to explain: “They are all owned by Sakura Iron and Steel Company, and our Shenzhou imports two million tons of special steel from them every year. Recently, they are still raising the price of special steel.”

"If they knew that we could also make special steel, the price of special steel would come down soon."

He Xingzhou nodded and said: "No problem, even if they disassemble my equipment, they still don’t know how it was made. They can’t see anything during the smelting process, so they can visit it."

"Well, I'll find them here and kill them!" Qiu Yang sent someone to invite Kenta Nishikawa and others.

In the factory area, workers transport and install plasma furnaces under the command of experts from the scientific research institute.

This is a big guy, divided into several big components, including plasma generator, melting furnace, refining chamber, water-cooled crystallization chamber and so on.

It took several hours to install these things.

In the process, He Xingzhou commanded and followed up the whole process, and Baosan’s technical experts were also studying nearby.

Until they are installed, this will allow the experts of Sakura Steel to come in.

"This is the plasma furnace they produce?" Nishikawa Kenta looked at the new equipment in the smelting workshop. From the appearance, there was really nothing to see.

The difference between this kind of equipment is mainly the internal structure design.

Several other Sakura country experts are also making eye contact, and most of them are puzzled.

Before they came, they had discussed it.

Experts led by Nishikawa Kenta stubbornly believe that this so-called plasma furnace cannot produce special steel with excellent performance!

"Kun Nagata, stare at them, don't let them scream with us." Nishikawa Kenta told one of the experts and asked him to stare at the inlet and outlet.

Make sure these people don’t “drop” the molten steel.

"Hi!" Yusuke Nagata looked serious, and followed the workers on the production line to check the raw materials.

After a while, Yusuke Nagata came back and replied: "There is no problem with the materials."

"We can start." He Xingzhou said. On the side, Ding Yue had already set up a camera to take a video for him.

He Xingzhou explained to the camera: "Everyone, now we are in a steel smelting workshop of Baosan Iron and Steel Group, testing the plasma melting furnace we use to make special steel. Now we start smelting!"

The screen is aimed at the feed inlet, and a large amount of raw materials are poured into the melting chamber of the furnace.

He Xingzhou activated the furnace button. The experts remained silent, observing the dashboard.

At this time, the current enters the plasma generator to heat the mixed gas inside to generate plasma.

The plasma begins to generate electricity, forming an arc. When the arc is compressed by the external airflow, the wall or the external magnetic field, the arc column becomes thinner, the temperature is higher, and the energy is highly concentrated, then a compressed arc is formed.

The compressed arc starts to smelt the raw materials, and the raw materials are melted by the plasma flame in a short period of time for various refining and purification.

"In three minutes, the power has surpassed our existing high-temperature electric arc furnace!" Qiu Yang looked at the numbers on the dashboard with surprise, the power has soared all the way and has reached the top level in the world.

Looking at the power meter, Nishikawa Kenta and other experts from the cherry blossom country have serious expressions. With this power, the smelting effect of this plasma furnace is hard to miss!

Soon, the first smelting of the plasma furnace has been completed, and the raw materials have been melted into molten metal.

The smelting of special steel has not been completed at this time, and a secondary remelting is required. In the remelting process, impurities are further removed and other elements required, such as carbon and other elements of the required alloy metal are added at the same time.

The special steel they will smelt this time is an ultra-pure bearing steel. It can be used to make bearings for automobile engines and motors, as well as on tanks, airplanes, and aircraft carriers!

This kind of steel is currently only produced in a handful of countries in the lighthouse country, Germany and the cherry blossom country!

Previously, China has always relied on imports, and it is often difficult to buy with money!

Everyone waited patiently. The reaction process of the furnace has been stable. Time has passed. He Xingzhou’s team technicians and Baosan’s senior management slowly let go.

The smelting process has been without problems, which shows that the safety and stability of the equipment are OK. Just wait for the performance test of special steel!

"Nishikawa-kun, this device seems not easy!" Nagata Yusuke whispered to Nishikawa Kenta, he already felt something was wrong.

This plasma furnace has been operating at extremely high power for a long time, and the molten metal has also undergone a secondary melting furnace. The operators have joined and prepared alloy materials to join them. In the water-cooled crystallization chamber, the special steel has begun to take shape!

"Be patient, smelt metal, it doesn't explain much, you have to test the nature of the product." Nishikawa Kenta said so, but he also began to feel a little unconfident in his heart.

"Come out, the first product!" At the discharge port, several special steel samples have been smelted in the plasma furnace.

The smooth surface reflects the metallic luster, and the color of steel looks very "powerful", like a golden hoop!

"Check now!" Qiu Yang couldn't wait to say, "Experts, Mr. Xichuan, let's go together?"

"Go, test performance!" Baosan's senior management and a large number of experts squeezed into the inspection area.

Nagata Yusuke was also afraid of their fraud and personally participated in the test.

They want to test the strength, stiffness, toughness, plasticity, corrosion resistance and other properties of steel.

"@何星舟, have the steel test results come out?" Qin Peng couldn't wait to ask in the chat group of the Xuanwu executive officer.

He and He Hongwei have been paying attention to this matter. If they can manufacture special steel and other high-grade metals themselves, they will also usher in great development in the manufacture of military weapons and equipment!

"Immediately, wait a few quarters." He Xingzhou replied.

In the detection area, the samples are undergoing various tests, and one item of data is recorded in the computer system.

Finally, all test items are completed, and a final test report is printed out by the printer.

He Xingzhou first got this test report. As he thought, all the indicators perfectly meet the needs of ultra-pure bearing steel. The steel smelted this time belongs to the super-first-class special steel!

His expression is indifferent, which is expected, but the people around him are all looking at him nervously, waiting for him to announce the result.
