Chapter 1189 Electron Beam Texturing

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After listening to Gu Jingyou¡¯s words, Wahid and Suharto didn¡¯t say anything, but their bodies were honest and they walked directly into the new factory.

    There is no way, what Gu Jingyou said is really too shocking.

    The Soviet series heavy fighter jets are very good in all aspects and can be regarded as a model among the third-generation aircraft. However, this type of aircraft, like all models produced by the Soviet Union, has obvious shortcomings in terms of service life.

    Under normal circumstances, the lifespan of the airframe structure is less than half that of the American-made F-15 series of the same level. As for the latest F-15e, not to mention, it is not even one-third of the level of others.

    The explanation given by the former Soviet Union and Russia is that this is based on the summary of their practical war experience and is reflected in the military industry, because in their view, large-scale war is a super consumption of expensive aircraft.  Being strong and durable is of no use at all, because even the best aircraft are consumables in the face of large-scale wars and will be scrapped very quickly, so maintaining such a long service life is of no use at all. As long as the performance can be maintained, there is  Thousands of hours are enough, and the difficulty of research and development is even lower, and the production cost will not be too high.

    But in fact, that is not the case at all. The Russians are right to advertise low production costs, but they are a bit rogue by keeping silent about the high maintenance costs of high-value equipment.

    You must know that the maintenance cost of combat aircraft, especially heavy-duty combat aircraft with excellent performance, is usually 3 to 4 times the purchase cost. This is still common. If you stretch your hips a little, it is not uncommon to have more than 5 times.

    Because of the lifespan of the former Soviet Union, Russia invested very heavily in the later maintenance of equipment. It is normal for the procurement to be doubled or more than 6 times.

    In other words, it is true that the procurement cost of Russian aviation equipment in the former Soviet Union was low, but in the future maintenance, the low-cost procurement was replenished one by one, not to mention that it was even cheaper than some Western aviation companies with high prices.  The total cost of the equipment's entire life cycle is even higher.

    Does the former Soviet Union and Russia not know the situation of its own aviation equipment?

    Of course, it knows better than anyone else. Not only that, the former Soviet Union also knows that the probability of large-scale wars in the world today is very low, so the old doctrine of the former Soviet Union is outdated.

    With the development of technology, asymmetric combat methods have become mainstream, which requires the technical level of equipment to be higher and higher. The production cost and post-maintenance of technical equipment are very high, and it is not just consumption.  Affordable to consume.

    Because of this, the former Soviet Union also wants to learn from the West and make some new equipment that although the production cost is high, has a longer life and is easier to maintain, thereby changing its increasingly high equipment maintenance expenses.

    "However, the idea of ??the former Soviet Union is good, but in terms of materials, processes, and manufacturing equipment, the former Soviet Union has completely lagged behind the West, and there is no way to make further progress in the service life of the aircraft.

    But what should we do if we have to use these so-called Soviet heritages to sell money to continue our lives?  Naturally, the old military doctrines of the former Soviet Union and Russia were brought out in order to deceive those buying countries. The problem of the service life of our aviation equipment is not a technical problem as Westerners say, but a conceptual problem. In fact, our level is no better than that of the West.  If you don¡¯t believe it, just buy it and try it with Western products to see if you can kill them.

    Not to mention that the Russian deception has really confused some countries. For example, New Delhi bought more than 100 Su-30mkis that were still on the drawing board as soon as their brains got hot, without hesitation.  Became a guinea pig for the Russians to gain experience.

    But there are also many countries that have maintained a basic level of sobriety, such as Indonesia.

    If this were not the case, Indonesia would not have tried every means to obtain Russian-origin parts for the Su-30 from New Delhi Airlines, in order to reduce maintenance costs in the future.

    To put it bluntly, it is completely helpless.

    Just like they chose the Su-30mk fighter jet, if the United States can sell the F-15, Indonesia will not buy the Su-30mk at all, because the F-18 equipped by neighboring Australia has already formed an aviation advantage in the region and wants to offset it.  If so, it can only be a heavy fighter.

    However, out of concern for Australia, the Americans did not buy Indonesian F-15s at all. In desperation, Indonesia could only choose Russia. No matter how bad the Su-30mk was, it was also a heavy-duty aircraft, so there was no problem in suppressing the F-18.

    As for the problem of the short service life of the Su-30mk we can only talk about it later.

    Anyway, haven¡¯t the Russians been improving their Su series of heavy fighter jets, and claimed that they will launch the most perfect Su series of heavy fighter jets in the near future, allowing this model to truly reach the top.

    If this is the case, how long can Indonesia wait?Years don¡¯t matter.

    "I just didn't expect that Russia's so-called most perfect Su series heavy fighter jets did not wait, but encountered key ultra-long life components of China Ascendas Group's Su series heavy fighter jets.

    This made it impossible for Wahid and Suharto not to go in and take a look first. You must know that one of the stubborn problems of the Soviet heavy fighter is the use of a series of structural frames and girders between the 64th and 82nd near the engine.  The lifespan is not as good as the skin on the surface of the machine body.

    And this section is the main load-bearing structure of the Soviet heavy fighter. If there is a problem here, it will be dismantled and overhauled, or it will be scrapped directly.

    In this regard, Russia, the country of origin, is also very troubled. It has tried many methods but cannot solve it, so that the lifespan of the entire series of combat aircraft has been affected.

    Because of this, Wahid and Suharto wanted to see how Ascendas Group could do something that even Russian manufacturers could not do.

    So the two of them followed Gu Jingyou and several other people accompanying Ascendas Group to an empty product display workshop. Soon Gu Jingyou pointed to a large one that was nearly two meters high, four meters long, and had two circular holes in the middle.  Structural parts: "Guys, this is the large structural part we copied based on the 75th structural load-bearing frame of the Su series heavy fighter. I wonder if you can see any difference between this structural part and the original product?"

    After hearing this, Wahid, Suharto and others almost cursed in their hearts. Their eyes are not microscopes, so they can't see any difference.

    Fortunately, Gu Jingyou didn't show off, pointing to the surface of the structural frame and said: "We have laid a layer of silicon carbide ceramic coating on this structural frame to keep the overall thermal expansion and contraction level of the frame at a very small constant.  At the same time, the overall structural strength is increased by three times.¡±

    "Silicon carbide ceramic coating?" After listening to Gu Jingyou's words, Wahid said nothing, but Suharto frowned and questioned: "If I remember correctly, the adhesion of this coating is very low, right? Especially  It¡¯s made of metal, so it should be easy to fall off once the fighter plane trembles, right?¡±

    "Mr. Suharto was right, so we applied a new process to the structural frame to ensure the adhesion of the silicon carbide ceramic coating."

    ¡°What craft?¡± Suharto asked

    Gu Jingyou answered confidently: "Electron beam texturing!"
