Chapter 60 Whose Problem Is It?

"I just said that it is possible, Gardner and Sand, don't be excited. After all, we don't have much mastery of magnesium alloy cylinder casting technology. Anyone may have problems." Xiong Tao continued.

"It is absolutely impossible to be a design problem!" Gardner Oliver immediately emphasized, "We have considered the chemical properties of magnesium alloys when designing, and used the world's most advanced simulated solidification software to fully analyze the pouring conditions of the product!"

Sand James is a little calmer than Gardner Oliver's personality. He took Gardner's words and said in standard London English: "We have established three-dimensional models of various design solutions through UG, and then built their finite element models. By numerical simulation of various scheme filling and solidification processes, comparing and analyzing the optimal design solutions, there will be no design problems in theory!"

Sand James and Gardner Oliver, both are authentic British people. They have light skin tones, thick eyebrows, thin lips, and a three-dimensional face.

Here, their other identity is the designer of engine block castings. It is very heavy. These two people were previously designers of the engine research center of Rover Motor Company in the UK. When Rover was still affiliated with BMW, they designed the engines of several BMW series cars.

Later, after Rover was acquired by SAIC Group, the two of them became SAIC Group's treasures! Their status is no lower than that of He Dongliu, the chief designer!

Sand and Gardner defended their technology so much that the designers were not easy to speak. Let them question it publicly? But in this regard, the R&D team led by these two people is indeed authoritative! They are not qualified to question it.

But they felt that what Xiong Tao said might make sense, and there was no way, He Dongliu could only say: "When there is a problem with this thing, each of us has the responsibility. Let's do this, check all the links and study them, where the problem lies, and then find a way to solve it!"

"It must be fast! The mold manufacturing cycle of cylinder castings is too long, so we cannot delay the research and development progress of the TC5116 engine."

After the meeting, He Dongliu found Xiong Tao again and asked about the situation.

"Mr. He, to be honest, this is not the first time we have a problem!" Xiong Tao said with grievances: "We strictly control every link in the manufacturing of cylinder casting molds, and in the end there are still problems. It may be that there is a problem in the design!"

"But those two British guys are so arrogant that they think they must be fine! I think they are not capable enough and can't come up with magnesium alloy cylinder castings!"

"Just tell me this, don't complain about them. They have bad tempers and will go on strike at any time." He Dongliu comforted him, "I understand your suffering."

"He, it's not that I'm wronged." Xiong Tao continued, "We used to use aluminum alloy cylinder castings, and there was no problem at all. This time, for the sake of lightweight the engine, we used magnesium alloy and magnesium aluminum alloy to make cylinder die castings. However, this technology is very difficult even abroad. I think Sand and Gardner are not good. We either give up the idea of ​​magnesium alloy or look for foreign aid!"

He Dongliu thought for a while and said, "I have to think about it. I can't set a good goal and give up at all."

The engine R&D team argued about testing for a few days, but still couldn't come up with a solution. In desperation, He Dongliu thought of Xinsheng Parts Processing Factory. Last time they said there was a manufacturing technology for engine cylinder blocks and cylinder head castings. If there was really a problem with the manufacturing process, why not ask them to make mold parts and see what the problem is?

For this matter, He Dongliu asked Lei Xu and Xiong Tao to go to Xinsheng Parts Processing Factory for a business trip.

"Director Li, we're meeting again!" Lei Xu shook hands with Li Gucheng with a smile, "I'm here to ask you for help."

"I know, I have read the emails. Don't worry, we will definitely help this little busy. It just so happened that these days, we have been studying the problems of engine cylinder blocks and cylinder head castings, and the equipment has been debugged. We will definitely help!" Li Gucheng said.

"That's good, by the way, is Mr. Du here?" Lei Xu asked.

"He will not arrive tomorrow. Our technical director of General Duque is here, there is no problem!" Li Gucheng said.

"Then let us meet the technical director of General Du Que first." Xiong Tao said, he just wanted to complete the task as soon as possible.

When he arrived at Xinsheng's Mechanical Industry Laboratory, Xiong Tao couldn't help but feel suspicious. This small laboratory is too small! And this small factory, they really understand the problem of high-end mold manufacturing of engine cylinder castings? He Gong is too sarcastic! He actually asked them for help!

When Xiong Tao saw Du Que, he felt that it was unreliable. This person looks really "unusual", he is just a person who can't be found if he is thrown into the crowd, and has no characteristics. Is this their general technical guidance?

Du Que looked at the information brought by Xiong Tao, shook his head directly, and said, "No."

"No?" Xiong Tao was puzzled, "What can't you do? Can't you create it?"

Seeing Du Que read the information so quickly, he was convinced that the other party should not be able to make the mold parts of the cylinder.

"It's such a waste of time! I don't know what He Gong was thinking? Do you want to spend time with me?" Xiong Tao felt a little aggrieved.

"No, I mean there is a problem with the design of the cylinder castings. Such cylinder castings will shrink and leak," Du Que said.

His words surprised Xiong Tao. The other party just passed it over and knew the possible problems? Impossible, right? You must know that they used various data models and had accurate calculations!

"Did Mr. He tell you?" Xiong Tao asked.

Du Que still shook his head and said, "I saw it myself. There are problems with the design and can be made, but when the mold parts are made, the penetration ratio will be very high. It is not recommended to manufacture it."

"Can you really make it? Then please make the mold parts first? I think it may be better to use facts than guessing." Xiong Tao didn't believe it anymore. Du Que felt that he was lying to him. He could not have this level and could see the design problem at a glance!

"Yes." Du Que naturally has no problem. There is a die-casting machine brought by Du Mingxuan from the Cyborg civilization in the factory, and manufacturing is not a problem.

"How long will it take? Is it okay for a month?" Xiong Tao asked.

"No, it's enough for a day." Du Que said.

"One day! Gong Du, you didn't lie to me, right?" Xiong Tao really put all his doubts on his face this time and said, "Even if the design is eliminated, it will take ten days and half a month. You can do it in one day? This is not a toy!"
