Chapter 437 (1/2)

At the same time, everyone present knows that the defects of rubber and the available environmental range are too low.

Therefore, these people present, including Wang Bin, tend to use other materials to make aircraft tires, especially metal materials. After all, metal is much better than rubber, which is easy to melt and flammable.

Of course, if there is really no way, he can also accept the mechanical structure of the tire.

While Wang Bin was thinking about this, Professor Dai stood up and said, ”President Wang, I also agree with Professor Zhang.

After all, there are such problems in the test flight of our first prototype. Even if we can find rubber materials with higher performance for the time being, which can temporarily meet the needs of this aerospace aircraft, what will happen in the future?

You know, this is only the first first aerial plane of our Tiangong technology. In the future, we will certainly have more and larger aerial planes. If there are larger aerial planes, the tires will naturally bear stronger tests. Therefore, I think it is time for us to consider using other materials instead of rubber materials. ”

After Professor Dai finished, everyone in the conference room nodded. It was obvious that they all agreed with what Professor Dai said.

Wang Bin also nodded, then turned around and asked Professor Zhang, ”Professor Zhang, as the boss of Tiangong technology, I naturally hope that the aerospace aircraft we produce will not have any problems in terms of performance, and the same is true in terms of tires.

So my heart naturally hopes to use other materials to replace rubber, but at present, there seems to be no other high-performance materials in China or even the whole world that can replace rubber materials! ”

After listening to what Wang Bin said, Professor Zhang shook his head and said, ”indeed, if it was in the past, there are really no materials in the world to replace rubber. Even if someone has developed some materials with similar properties as rubber materials, their cost is not cheap, so no one uses them at all.

But now the difficulty is different. Mr. Wang, you forget that a few months ago, I told you that our materials laboratory has developed a soft metal alloy material.

The properties of this alloy are similar to those of rubber materials used in tires in many aspects, but there are also many properties that rubber can't compare. For example, the melting point of this metal material is as high as 2530 degrees. In addition, this material is also a very good memory metal material.

At the same time, compared with rubber material, this material has many advantages, I won't say more, such as ductility, strong acid resistance, oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance, etc., which can't be compared with rubber.

Therefore, this material can replace rubber in many places, such as making tires for use.

Most importantly, the manufacturing cost of this material is very low. Even if it is lower than that of rubber, it is definitely an ideal product to replace rubber. ”

”What! It's true. That's great. What are we waiting for? We'll make some tires and install them on the plane.” after listening to what Professor Zhang said, Wang Bin immediately stood up and said.

At the same time, he thought carefully. Indeed, as Professor Zhang said, they had developed the material in his mouth two months ago.

Moreover, this material was not developed by Professor Zhang himself, but by Xiao Xiao, a fresh college student who had just entered Tiangong technology in his department. In fact, Xiao's original intention of developing this material was to use other materials to replace rubber.
