Chapter 7 Hinge Manufacturing
Li Shuguang said calmly: "This is not necessary. I just hope to work with everyone to solve the problem so that our J-8 aircraft can be delivered smoothly and can better reduce manufacturing costs. More importantly, I think our process and technology level must be comprehensively improved to prepare for the development and production of third-generation fighter jets in the future."
Hearing this, the few people present remained silent. Indeed, they also knew that Shenfei's technology level is too low now, which is seriously dragging him down. If he wants to build a third-generation machine, there is no door now. After all, the manufacturing process of that third-generation machine is not comparable to the second-generation function.
Huang Yao looked at Li Shuguang with bright eyes and said, "Comrade, you are right. We also want to work hard to improve our technology, but we are just like watching the sky from a well. We have never seen advanced manufacturing technology abroad. In fact, I want to tell you in detail about this hinge problem, and there is no problem."
Next, this beautiful female technician told Li Shuguang in detail about the manufacturing of horizontal tail hinges of the J-8 I fighter.
Not to mention, after hearing this, Li Shuguang felt that he had found the crux of the problem.
Nowadays, the fixtures for processing hinges are not designed specifically for J-8I, but are still modified with the fixtures for processing hinges for J-7 fighter jets. No wonder there are serious problems in the quality of processing and manufacturing.
This was also what Li Shuguang only knew after seeing someone in the aviation magazine writing a paper on the manufacturing process of another J-8 fighter jet in his previous life.
The problem of hinges is similar to what is written in the paper, because there is no specially designed fixture.
Why is it not used? On the one hand, it may be because the process technicians are not well designed, and on the other hand, it may be because it saves costs. After all, the J-7 has been used before, and it can be used again if it is changed. If it is thrown away directly, it would be a waste.
It is probably because of the subsequent reasons that there is no special fixture designed, so after listening to it, Li Shuguang asked: "Why don't we design special fixtures?"
Huang Yao was stunned and said, "This, Huang said it is unnecessary. The fixtures we used when we produced the J-7 will be used the same. Is it because of this that leads to the processing quality?"
Li Shuguang nodded and said, "I think it's because of this reason. Our J-8 I fighter is not simply enlarged by the J-7 fighter, so using the original fixture is not the best way to transform it. If a fixture can be specially designed for processing, I think the problem may be solved."
Of course Huang Zeming was a little dissatisfied. After all, how could this young man know more about technology than him? He is just guessing, right?
Why can't the fixtures used by J-7 be modified and utilized? It would be too complicated to redesign a new one. Not only does it take time and effort, but you also have to ask the superiors for instructions. In short, it is too complicated, and doing this yourself will also help the factory save a lot of costs.
Thinking of this, Huang Zeming retorted: "Impossible, what's your name? Which design room is it? Do your leaders know that you are here?"
Li Shuguang straightened his chest and said confidently: "I am Li Shuguang from the structural room. What's wrong? Do I still need the approval of my leader when I come here? I just reported some work problems to Chief Teacher Gu yesterday. He supports our young designers, goes deep into the workshop and works with the process technicians to solve problems together."
Reporting to Chief Teacher Gu? How is this possible for a little designer?
In Huang Zeming's opinion, this is completely impossible. Unless Li Shuguang has a deep background, how could the model chief engineer meet him alone and report on his work? After all, a small designer is several levels across the chief engineer.
Just like Huang Zeming, although he is a senior craftsman, he cannot report his work directly to the chief craftsman of Shenfei Factory.
Have a background? Huang Zeming now knows that if he offended this guy, he would be afraid there would be no benefit. If he pleased him, something might happen.
Next, Huang Zeming smiled as if he had changed his body, saying, "So that's the case, Xiao Li, you see the suggestion you put forward, I think there is some reason, but the design of special fixtures is not that simple. Can you complete this design work with us?"
Seeing Huang Zeming changing his face so quickly, Huang Yao looked down on him a little. Of course she could tell why Huang Zeming changed his face.
Could it be that he was really appreciated by Chief Teacher Gu? Or because his background is not simple, Huang Yao would rather believe that it was Li Shuguang's outstanding personal ability and quality that made Chief Teacher Gu look at him.
She felt that Li Shuguang was definitely not simple, and she might become a person like Chief Teacher Gu in the future.
Although Li Shuguang does not have the ability to design special fixtures, he boldly proposed some design concepts, which made Huang Zeming admire this young man from the bottom of his heart.
If the problem of hinge manufacturing can be solved this time, the factory leaders will definitely be very satisfied.
Li Shuguang didn't think about this. He just hoped that the J-8 series of fighters would not have any serious quality problems after they were put into service. After all, this happened in the history of Shenyang Aircraft Factory. For example, a batch of J-6 fighters in the early days were returned by the Air Force because of their serious quality problems.
In fact, there are many problems with the J-8 series fighter jets. The Air Force is not satisfied with it, but it is just that there is no way to get a small amount of equipment.
In Li Shuguang's view, perhaps the later fluttering problem of J-8 II fighter may be partly due to the horizontal tail hinge, of course this is just a guess.
Sometimes the tail of the J-8 II fighter is burned out due to the high temperature. It is not ruled out that the hinge is not of good quality, which leads to deformation and fluttering under high temperature working conditions.
Especially during the J-8 supersonic flight, the aerodynamic load is quite large, and the hinges of the horizontal tail wing are related to structural stability and structural strength.
If it is a little more serious, it is possible to fly the horizontal tail wing away during supersonic flights, or even destroy the tail structure.
If there is no horizontal tail, the plane will lose control.
The plan to redesign a special fixture was soon launched by Huang Zeming Pao.
Li Shuguang has been staying in the workshop these two days, solving problems with Huang Zeming and others.
Not to mention, special fixtures were manufactured soon, and it depends on the actual effect.
Although everyone is still a little worried about whether this can solve the fundamental problem, it feels that the direction is still right.
