Chapter 663 Corrosion Resistant Materials

    ??

    To resist the high-temperature corrosive vesicles of alien organisms, upgrading outer armor materials is the most direct way.

    When it comes to corrosion-resistant materials, the first thing Chen Xin thinks of is ceramics and ceramic armor.

    It is common knowledge that many people know that ceramics are corrosion-resistant.

    Before Chen Xin became an online writer, he used to work in the chemical industry. In this industry, it is normal to deal with all kinds of corrosive things.

    Among them, parts or linings made of ceramics, plastics, and other corrosion-resistant materials are the most direct way to deal with metal materials being corroded by various chemical substances during use.

    Plastics are corrosion-resistant, which may subvert many people¡¯s perceptions, but in fact such plastics do exist and are even widely used in the chemical industry.

    But this plastic is obviously not suitable for armor.

    After all, corrosion-resistant plastic is corrosion-resistant, but its strength and hardness are not high enough. Although it is not able to be pierced with a knife, it is far from the standard that can be used as armor.

    As for whether the strength of corrosion-resistant plastic can be increased to the hardness that can be used as tank armor, this is naturally possible, but the cost and time investment in research and development are not worth it, and it cannot meet the current battlefield needs.  .

    At this time, it is not about trying to be as perfect as possible in the laboratory, but about trying to come up with usable things to meet the needs of the battlefield. As for subsequent improvements, they can all be done slowly.

    This is why when we look at the military equipment from the Second World War now, the early models are all messy and full of experimental gadgets, while the equipment produced in the later period obviously has a more optimized design and is more adaptable to changes in the battlefield.

    So instead of thinking of ways to improve the performance of plastics, it¡¯s better to think of more practical ways.

    In fact, the armor of modern tanks is no longer made of a single material. The composite armor used by modern tanks is to superimpose multiple layers of materials with different properties to obtain the properties of multiple materials. A thin layer of armor is equivalent to  The effect of heavy mean armor in the past.

    Therefore, Chen Xin wants to improve the outer armor of tanks and Titans, and using composite armor is the simplest and most effective method.

    All he has to do is develop a new type of composite armor.

    But this is not that easy.

    In addition to plastics, corrosion-resistant materials also include ceramics, and ceramic composite armor has long been used in the military field.

    But on the battlefield, even tanks equipped with ceramic composite armor are still difficult to resist the high-temperature corrosion vesicles of alien creatures.

    The reason is largely because ceramic composite armor is designed to resist armor-piercing bullets, not to resist corrosion.

    The principle of firing the ceramic layer is different. In addition to the thickness of the ceramic layer itself, after the high-hardness alloy steel on the surface of the armor is corroded, the ceramic layer filled with glass fiber reinforced resin filled with ceramic balls cannot resist the erosion of high-temperature corrosive liquids.  So that the bottom layer of high-toughness alloy steel will also be corroded.

    Therefore, in order to resist the attack of the corrosive vesicles of alien organisms, the corrosive liquid must be isolated in the outermost layer.

    "The outermost layer uses a corrosion-resistant plastic coating, and the middle is supported by a high-hardness ceramic sandwich. The bottom layer is still made of high-toughness alloy steel. Do you think this design can withstand the corrosion vesicle attacks of alien organisms?"  In the makeshift laboratory, Chen Xin drew schematic diagrams on the whiteboard while asking other researchers in the laboratory.

    Several researchers frowned, listening to Chen Xin's explanation, but kept shaking their heads.

    "The idea is great, but for plastic, no matter how hard it is, it is difficult to match the performance of steel. And even if the performance can meet the requirements, the production cost will be very high under this situation!" A researcher said somewhat  Throwing cold water on it, but he was obviously considering it from a practical point of view.

    At this time, another researcher also interjected: "And the key is that even if we develop new armor, we must replace all the tanks currently equipped by the military. In this case, the investment will be too great, and even if the country  Agreeing to this plan, it will take a lot of time to replace all the tanks with new armor."

    "It's easy to change the armor. The worst thing is to use armor plates to attach armor. Although the effect is not as good, it can still have a defensive effect. The key now is how to design new armor." Another researcher also joined the discussion and raised a question  His opinion: "Academician, your design is actually to create an isolation layer on the existing armor surface to isolate corrosion."In order to isolate the corrosion vesicles thrown by alien creatures, if this is the case, we can directly coat the existing tank armor with a special protective coating on the surface, will it have the same effect?  "

    "Protective coating? Coating?" As soon as Chen Xin heard what the researcher said, he immediately understood what he meant.

    This is indeed more practical than replacing new armor. At the same time, both the cost and investment are much smaller, and it can meet the needs of the battlefield faster.

    ??And it is easier to develop a new type of paint and paint and coat the tank than to develop a new type of armor and completely replace the tank.

    "If this is the case, then our research and development direction will be on making protective coatings!" Chen Xin also quickly adjusted his thinking and determined a new research and development direction, but he still emphasized: "But even if we are now developing new  The development of protective coatings and new protective armor cannot be postponed. We should develop a new type of material or armor that can resist alien biological attacks. This can be used as a technical reserve and applied to the next generation of Titans."

    There is nothing wrong with what Chen Xin said. The R&D idea of ??Yanguo Military Industry has always been to develop one generation, reserve one generation, and use one generation.

    The new coating can be immediately applied to the battlefield, while the new armor can be used as a technical reserve for the next generation of equipment.

    It¡¯s just that this idea is undoubtedly based on the fact that this war will last for a long time. After all, the only ones who can use corrosive liquids as attacks are alien creatures.

    Normal wars between humans will still focus on penetration rather than corrosion of armor.

    Therefore, whether it is anti-corrosion paint or corrosion-resistant armor, they are only used to deal with alien creatures. If the alien creatures can be eliminated in a short time, these things will be of no use.

    "Academician, do you think this war will last for a long time?" A researcher asked his question.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
