"Deep Sea Monster" made of titanium rhenium alloy

"Deep Sea Monster" made of titanium rhenium alloy

(Summary description)On April 22, 1978, the Severodvinsk Shipyard in the port city of Arkhangelsk Oblast, located in the northern part of Russia and Europe, began to build a mysterious new M-class strategic attack nuclear submarine. The boat adopts a double-layer shell structure design, and creatively adds the rarefied and refractory metal “rhenium” to the “space metal” titanium alloy to make the submarine shell. The emergence of the K278 strategic nuclear submarine once again demonstrated to the world the manufacturing capabilities of the "battle nation" in the military industry. At that time, in order to produce the world's strongest strategic nuclear submarine, the former Soviet Union did not hesitate to pay for it. It is important to know that the global annual output of metal rhenium was only one to twenty tons.

"Deep Sea Monster" (K278) PS image

The boat adopts a double-layer shell structure design, and creatively adds the rarefied and refractory metal “rhenium” to the “space metal” titanium alloy to make the submarine shell. The emergence of the K278 strategic nuclear submarine once again demonstrated to the world the manufacturing capabilities of the "battle nation" in the military industry. At that time, in order to produce the world's strongest strategic nuclear submarine, the former Soviet Union did not hesitate to pay for it. It is important to know that the global annual output of metal rhenium was only one to twenty tons.

 

The "deep sea monster" ready to launch

This nuclear submarine can resist the huge pressure of sea water at a depth of more than 1,000 meters, which is equivalent to more than 100 standard atmospheres. The maximum maximum diving depth is an astonishing 1250 meters, while the US military deep-water torpedo at the time was only 800 meters deep.

 

"Deep Sea Monster" after service

It is conceivable that such a super weapon has extremely high survivability in the deep sea. However, on April 7, 1989, after nearly 6 years of service, the submarine "Komsomol" sank due to a fire accident. The Balun Sea of the Arctic Ocean is an icy seabed of 1685 meters at 73°40ˊ north latitude and 13°30ˊ east longitude. The accident resulted in the death of 42 crew members including Captain Vanin, and 27 people were rescued. It is a pity that such a deep-sea monster has only produced one, but the world record for the deepest dive of a strategic attack nuclear submarine created by it remains to this day.

The underwater robot detects the sinking "deep sea monster"

The extreme service environment of the "deep sea monster" puts forward harsh limit requirements on many materials, among which the creative application of titanium rhenium alloy provides inspiration for future materials science experts. The light weight, high strength, and corrosion resistance of the metal "titanium", and the super strengthening effect of the battle metal "rhenium" added to the alloy, the term "like a tiger with wings" to describe this new material cannot be more beautiful. It is believed that in many other fields of science and technology in the future, such as low-altitude aircraft, super high-speed rail, aviation, aerospace, deep-sea exploration, etc., titanium rhenium alloy will receive more and more attention and development and application.

Overview of Vacuum Coating Materials And Technologies
Overview of Vacuum Coating Materials And Technologies
Vacuum sputter coating. It refers to the technique of using ions generated by an ion source, which are accelerated and gathered in a vacuum to form a high ion beams, to bombard the surface of the target (coating material), where kinetic energy is exchanged between the ions and the atoms on the surface of the target, causing the atoms on the surface of the target to leave and be deposited on the surface of the substrate material. The object bombarded with ions is the raw material for the deposition of thin film materials by the vacuum sputtering method and is called a sputtering target.

Application and preparation method of spherical powder
Application and preparation method of spherical powder
Spherical powders have been widely used in many fields because of their good fluidity and high density. In the field of thermal spraying, the spherical powder makes the coating more uniform and dense because of its good fluidity, so the coating has better wear resistance; In the field of powder metallurgy, the forming parts prepared by spherical powder have high density and uniform shrinkage in the sintering process, so the products obtained have high precision and good performance. It has obvious advantages in the application of advanced powder metallurgy forming technology such as injection molding, gel injection molding and additive manufacturing (such as 3D printing technology).

CT machine X-ray tube anode rotating target
CT machine X-ray tube anode rotating target
When the CT tube is working, the anode target produces X-rays under the bombardment of high-energy electron beams, but the energy conversion efficiency is very low. Only about 1% of the energy is converted into X-ray energy, and the remaining 99% of the energy is converted into heat energy. The local temperature can be as high as 2600°C. Therefore, the rotating anode target needs to have the characteristics of high high temperature strength, good thermal shock resistance, and fast heat dissipation. Therefore, the density of the target material, the content of alloy impurity elements, and the brazing bonding strength of graphite and molybdenum alloys affect the service life of the target. Key factor.
