I am a great scientist

Chapter 188 Ti-Based Alloys

In the virtual laboratory, with the assistance of Zhou Xiaozhi, Zhou Xing designed the direction joint of the robot joint.

To make the robot's movements "soft", it is not enough to rely on the support of the drive system of the "smart chip", and it is necessary to start with the hardware and redesign the robot's structure.

The flexibility of human hands and feet is the result of the cooperation of joints, ligaments and muscles. Robots need to rely on gear nodes, universal joints, hydraulics, support levers,...,, and other components to work together precisely, with smart chips to drive the body , to make the robot's movements flexible, the universal joint is a very important part.

Zhou Xing and Zhou Xiaozhi stood aside, carefully observing the experimental test of the robot of the same model as Baisha.

The movement of the robot walking and pouring water was much smoother than before, but Zhou Xing was still not very satisfied.

The bulky body of the robot makes its body always stiff when it moves, resulting in uncoordinated movements.

Seeing Zhou Xing shaking his head, Zhou Xing Xiaozhi who was standing aside hurriedly said: "Boss, it is recommended to replace the universal joint with a lighter metal material. If it can be replaced together with the rotating shaft, otherwise, this situation will always exist. .”

"The rotating shaft is an important part of the robot, directly bearing 45% of the robot's weight, and the universal joint is an important part connecting the rotating shaft. The weight of the universal joint made of metal is too large, which directly affects the high-speed and high-dynamic performance of the robot; However, the universal joint made of light flying metal material will inevitably reduce the torque and acceleration of the robot due to the light weight of the material and other problems, which will affect its high-speed and high-dynamic performance. Therefore, Xiaozhi thinks that a suitable new metal should be replaced. materials to make the rotating shaft and universal joint of the robot." Zhou Xiaozhi suggested to Zhou Xing.

Zhou Xing frowned. The metal materials commonly used to manufacture robots include: stainless steel, aluminum alloy, alloy cast iron, sheet metal, etc. There are also many non-metal materials and composite materials. Loading materials, control materials, ..., etc., there are countless categories.

The rotating shaft and universal joint are the core components of the robot. If the use of new materials can solve the problem of rigid robot movements, it is worth trying to develop.

After thinking it over, Zhou Xing asked, "Xiaozhi, what materials do you recommend for the rotating shaft and universal joint?"

"Boss, it is recommended to develop Ti alloys. The multiphase nanoscale layered structure makes Ti-based alloys have superior development potential. A Ti-based alloy with strength, high elasticity, light weight, and processability can be developed. It is suitable for Make rotating shafts and universal joints." Zhou Xiaozhi suggested to Zhou Xing.

Hearing this, Zhou Xing frowned, and asked with a wry smile: "Is there no ready-made Ti-based alloy to use? Want to develop new materials?"

Materials have always been the core of human beings to manufacture various machines, components and equipment, and are the cornerstone and milestone of human civilization. There are currently 50 kinds of materials in the world, more than 800 million kinds of artificially synthesized compounds, and each new material The discovery, development and utilization of all are signs of the progress of human civilization and have a huge influence.

However, even if there is a microparticle environmental reaction chamber that is almost cheating, it is not so simple to develop a new material. Even if the development formula of the Ti-based alloy material is successfully found out, the next step is to develop the production process of the Ti-based alloy. Vacuum melting environment, Ti-based alloy production process, and equipment, etc., etc., after a complete set of projects, it is an extremely time-consuming project.

"Boss, Xiaozhi has screened it! There are several Ti-based alloys that are suitable for making rotating shafts, but according to your requirements for the number of joints of the universal joint, Xiaozhi can't find a suitable Ti-based alloy." Zhou Xiaozhi frowned. The face replied Zhou Xingdao.

The number of nodes in the robot's gimbal is related to the fineness of the robot's actions. The fewer the nodes, the more rigid the robot's actions will be, and the manufacturing difficulty and cost will also be reduced linearly. However, Zhou Xing is very concerned about the Things have always been striving for perfection, and if there is a slight direction for improvement, he will definitely find ways to overcome him. This is a habit he has developed unconsciously after becoming a scientific researcher.

Zhou Xing regained his composure and ordered Zhou Xiaozhi, "Xiaozhi, screen out the formula for developing a new Ti-based alloy, and I'll take it to the reaction room for testing."

"Okay, boss!" Zhou Xiaozhi happily replied.

Even if the research is a monotonous and boring thing, it is a very happy thing for Zhou Xiaozhi, because with the new research project, the longer Zhou Xing will stay in the laboratory and accompany him for a long time .

Soon, two waterfall-like streams of data flew past Zhou Xiaozhi's jet-black eyes, and the changes in the combinations of tens of thousands of Ti-based alloy elements were continuously simulated and calculated to select a suitable formula for the development of Ti-based alloys.

Peking University, Department of Computer Management, Room 318 of the girls' dormitory building, the girls' laughter and wailing begging for mercy were heard continuously.

"Okay, okay, I agree, you let me go! I promised, but it's not enough! Don't forgive me, 5555..." Under the six 'claws', Tang Xin begged for mercy.

At this moment, Room 318 was divided into two camps. Tang Xin was "fighting alone" and was unable to resist the "three female bandits".

"You little goblin, you took advantage of our unpreparedness, and you actually obeyed him so quickly, causing us to worry about you all the time. Be honest and tell the truth. Isn't it a step past now?" Guan Xiaoyu rode on Tang Xin's lap. On the belly, he pressed her hand with both hands and asked.

"That's right! You were taken down so quickly! You are too useless. Men don't pay much attention to things that you get too easily. If you are dumped by him in the future, you will cry." Liu Zihui squeezed Tang Xin's cheeks were persuasive as if he had been there.

"Yes! Xiaoxin, Zhou Xing's status is extraordinary. He is handsome and rich. He controls a big company. There must be a cloud of beauties around him. You have to be careful, so you don't lose money when the time comes!" Zhang Xiaofei said with a worried look on her face. Persuade.

"You guys..., it's not what you think, we just held hands." Tang Xin blushed pretty and argued, shaking her head.

"Hmph, just hold hands? Then why didn't you come home last night? You held hands all night! Do you think I'm a child?" Guan Xiaoyu stared at Tang Xin with rounded eyes.

"I didn't see him last night. It's because my dad came to the capital! I went to pick up my dad, it's true." Tang Xin said with a wry smile.

"Hmm! Really?" Guan Xiaoyu looked at Tang Xin's face and asked suspiciously.

"Uncle is coming to BJ! Why don't you bring him to the school for a stroll?" Zhang Xiaohui asked, believing Tang Xin's words.

"My dad came up to handle errands, and he'll come over when he's done," Tang Xin replied hastily.

"After a long time of trouble, it turned out to be an oolong!" Liu Zihui immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"If you don't make it clear in advance, we will be worried all night." A trace of embarrassment flashed across Guan Xiaoyu's face, and he quickly changed the subject, saying, "When will that kid come over? Abducted all our class flowers, don't invite us It's too unreasonable to have a meal to make up for it!"

"Come down first, I'll ask later." Tang Xin glanced at Guan Xiaoyu in embarrassment, and begged.

"Hey!" Guan Xiaoyu chuckled, turned over and got off Tang Xin.
