v3 Chapter 81： Do you want to pick it? (1/2)
”Ankato, you see, this is an aluminum-tungsten alloy that we have recently developed. It is also doped with a little bit of wild grass flower dew. Although it is not as hard as pure steel, it is strong in corrosion resistance and toughness. Less, more importantly... you try it. ()”
Ankato said that he picked up a silver-white alloy ingot with a dark brown alloy ingot. The dwarf Porto immediately asked with excitement: ”How? Is it very light?”
”Well, it's really very light.” Ankato padded the alloy ingot in his hand and nodded involuntarily. ”It seems that the proportion of aluminum should be relatively high. I know very well about tungsten, which is much heavier than iron.”
”What is heavy, it is called density!” Porto lost to Ankato a contemptuous look. ”Don't you read the ”Industrial Materials Basic Standards” written by the president? Describe this thing as density, don't be light and heavy, it sounds unprofessional.”
Ankato couldn't help but rolled his eyes. Just now, Porto himself asked him if he was very light. Now he accuses him of using ”heavy” to answer.
However, regarding the ”Industrial Materials Basic Standards” published by the President of the General Assembly half a month ago, Ankato was also the first to study. Knowing that Porto is right, it is too lazy to refute.
Moreover, Porto was sent to lead some dwarves to serve as technical directors for this non-ferrous metal smelting plant. It has been several months to use the non-ferrous metal veins rich in non-ferrous metal veins for material research. Now, with results, he is excited. Understandable.
”Well, the density of this aluminum-tungsten alloy is lower than that of ordinary steel, and the corrosion resistance and toughness are stronger than ordinary steel. What are the disadvantages?” Ankato asked and thought.
”To say the shortcomings. That is not hard enough.” Porto sighed. Shaking his head: ”Look, if I am a thick aluminum-tungsten alloy tube with a finger, I can bend it with a little bit of it, which is a lot worse than pure steel.”
Ankato looked at the finger that Porto had extended and had two thumbs on his thumb. I thought that if this was the case, the aluminum-tungsten alloy would be worse than ordinary pure steel in impact resistance.
But thinking about the amazing power of the dwarf, Ankato feels that this does not seem to be a big deal.
After thinking for a while, Ankato said: ”Look at it this way. This material is very suitable for the shell and part of the support frame of the home magic machine. As long as it is not the part of the bearing capacity, it should be used. Nowadays, many of the home magic machines produced by our Chamber of Commerce can not be replaced by plastic. It is a bit wasteful to use pure steel. This is just right.”
”Hey, we tried this thing to get this done.” Porto cracked his mouth and smiled again. ”Yes, I found this thing to be used to make windows very nice. Look, this thing is better than wood. It’s much stronger, it’s very resistant to corrosion, and it’s much longer to hold on.”
”Oh? As you said, not only is it used to make windows, but there are many places in the house that can be used.” Ankato thought about it. Nodded and said: ”I suddenly felt that the use of this aluminum-tungsten alloy is very extensive. At least in ordinary houses, there are many places to use. Well, I will go back and tell the president, I think he can go to Eminem. The Chamber of Commerce said that this is definitely a great need for the Amrit Chamber of Commerce.”
”This kind of thing will be handed over to you, I don't care.” Porto waved his hand and suddenly looked around and took a step closer to Ankato. His face was mysteriously whispered: ”In addition to this aluminum-tungsten alloy, there is another New research requires you to bring it back to the president.”
Seeing the expression on Porto's face, Ankato was willing to know and not open, just ask with his eyes.
Porto looked around again and again, and then waved to Ankato, indicating that he followed him into an interior of the research room in the non-ferrous metal smelting plant.
”Come, look at this thing?” After entering the interior, Porto closed the door and then took out a piece of black metal and handed it to Ankato.
Ankato reached out and immediately felt that his hand was sinking, and he was able to hold it with his hands.
”So heavy... so much density?” Antoka looked at the darkness in his hand and couldn't see the metal block of material. ”What is this alloy?”
“Most of it is lead, a small part is tungsten, and it is also mixed with iron and a small amount of zinc,” Porto replied. ”The density of this stuff is very large, but the hardness is very high, the impact pressure is also very strong, and the toughness is not bad. The Chamber of Commerce is not planning to upgrade the magic machine tool and the agricultural and engineering magic machinery now, the president and Camby. They have been worrying about finding materials that can withstand enough pressure, I think this is quite appropriate.”
”That is not a particularly important issue. The president said that as long as we temper steel, we will increase some purity, and we will certainly be able to meet the requirements. However, if the performance is better, then of course it is better.” Ankato measured Looking at the metal block in my hand, I thought about it: ”The key question is, what is the cost of this stuff?”
”Cost?” Porto glimpsed, then smiled slyly. ”This is hard to say. Anyway, the materials needed for this stuff are quite a lot in this vein. I think since there are so many here, it should not be bad in other places.”
”That can be difficult to say.” Ankato shook his head and sighed: ”No wonder the president has always attached great importance to mineral resources. If this non-ferrous metal vein belongs to our Chamber of Commerce.”
”I don't think it's difficult. Is there a dwarf in us, still afraid of finding mine?” Porto said.
”What about finding it? Can you still go to the Candela Empire or the Marlow Empire to mine?” Ankato gave a look at Porto.
Porto was speechless.
