Main achievements

Achievements in scientific research

Zhang Shourong took part in the recovery of production in Anshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., carried out the blast furnace top adjustment method and the smelting of low manganese steel, so that the production efficiency of Anshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. took the lead in China; Zhang Shourong took part in the first phase project construction of Wuhan Iron and Steel Group Co., Ltd., so that the first large blast furnace with more than 1000 cubic meters in China was put into operation smoothly; Zhang Shourong successfully developed and built 2516 cubic meters four blast furnaces with 1513 cubic meters of equipment and put them into operation The general plan for technological progress of ironmaking system is put forward. After the 1.7 meter rolling mill developed by Zhang Shourong is put into operation, new technology digestion and old plant technological transformation of previous process (including four synchronous overhaul) are organized, and new technologies and new products such as converter combined blowing and full continuous casting are developed. In the 1960s and 1970s, Zhang Shourong put forward the correct operation policy of improving the blast kinetic energy and adjusting the upper and lower phases, ensured the normal operation of the blast furnace under low temperature strength, and made great efforts to promote the iron and steel production of WISCO. Zhang Shourong organized and carried out a series of technical research, and completed the gas sampling and temperature measurement at the tuyere of blast furnace, gas sampling at the top of blast furnace, charging and charging model test, tuyere spray A large number of innovative and significant achievements have been made in the experiment and research of asphalt blowing, especially in the research on the "abnormal distribution" phenomenon of blast furnace, which was quite controversial in the ironmaking circles at home and abroad at that time. It is correctly revealed that its root lies in the existence of such problems as small average particle size, high powder content and small stack angle of sinter, and objectively clarified the special "abnormal distribution" law of WISCO's blast furnace, It solved the production problems and promoted the development of WISCO's production technology. Since the early 1970s, aiming at the problems of high alumina content and low qualified rate of pig iron in WISCO's blast furnace slag, Zhang Shourong presided over and organized the research on smelting high magnesia slag, and determined the appropriate blast furnace slag system on this basis. in the late 1970s, combined with many problems in the production process of blast furnace, Zhang Shourong organized technical personnel to screen sinter under the material trough of No.3 and No.4 blast furnace, which greatly improved the air permeability of material column in the furnace, promoted a large number of upper operation system of heavy and positive sub charging blast furnace, and significantly improved the utilization coefficient and coke ratio of blast furnace. Since the 1980s, Zhang Shourong began to study the technology of long campaign life of blast furnace. The problem of long campaign life of blast furnace has always been one of the important problems perplexing the production of blast furnace. The problem of long campaign life of blast furnace in WISCO is particularly prominent. The specific performance is that the hearth and bottom of blast furnace are seriously eroded, the production safety is poor, and the campaign life is short. The blast furnace needs to be repaired every three or four years Shourong has organized a number of damage investigations on large and medium-sized repair of blast furnace. According to the conclusions of damage research on lining and cooling stave, the design of blast furnace has been improved, and the idea of developing ductile iron cooling stave and high-quality blast furnace refractories has been put forward, which has played a promoting role in prolonging the service life of blast furnace. in order to meet the production needs of "one meter seven" rolling mill system, Zhang Shourong first carried out large-scale transformation aiming at the backward technology of the old factory in the previous process of the ironmaking plant, including the transformation of weak magnetic and strong magnetic technology in the mine system, the addition of bedding material in the sintering overhaul, the addition of sintering ore screening in the blast furnace overhaul, and the addition of ore leveling facilities in the stockyard, which improved the level of blast furnace concentrate and technical economy After the "one meter seven" system plants were put into operation, combined with the actual problems in production and the weak links in technology, Zhang Shourong strengthened the digestion and absorption of imported technology, and carried out innovation and tackling key problems. In 1991, Zhang Shourong led the construction of WISCO's 3200 m3 blast furnace. according to the official website of Chinese Academy of Engineering in March 2020, Zhang Shourong published more than 90 academic papers.

personnel training

As of March 2009, Zhang Shourong still has seven doctoral students. On October 25, 1996, at the invitation of Huangshi science and Technology Association, Zhang Shourong delivered an academic report entitled "new technology of iron and steel industry at the turn of the century" to more than 300 scientific and technological personnel and management cadres from all metallurgical industries in Huangshi Metallurgical Steel Group Co., Ltd.

Honorary recognition

Social service

Zhang Shourong served as deputy to the sixth and Seventh People's Congress of Hubei Province (June 1983 March 1993), chairman of the Fifth International Conference on ironmaking science and technology, distinguished professor of Wuhan University of technology, vice chairman of Hubei science and Technology Association, vice chairman of China Society for materials research, vice chairman of China Association for quality management, etc.

Personal life

When academician Zhang Shourong attended the academic conference, in order to save precious time, he almost did not go to any "sightseeing" arranged after the academic conference. This has become a habit of academician Zhang Shourong for many years. Li Tielin, his secretary, complained a little: "as long as you go out with Mr. Zhang, no matter where you go to attend academic conferences, you don't want to take the opportunity to go out and play." on the eve of the founding of the people's Republic of China, a hundred wastes are waiting for prosperity. As soon as Zhang Shourong walked out of Tianjin Beiyang University, he was assigned to Angang. He and his colleagues gnawed at Wowotou, with boiled water, day and night to experiment, groping. On the ruins left by the Japanese, they began the reconstruction of Angang. After Angang started, Zhang Shourong went south to Wuhan with a large number of technicians. as the chief engineer of WISCO, the first major event presided over by Zhang Shourong was to digest and innovate the introduced 1.7 m system project. I do not know how many days and nights, he ate in the factory, lived in the factory, late at night the telephone often called him from the hot blanket to the work site. When he was young, Zhang Shourong liked to read original English novels and listen to Peking Opera. "Now that he can't read technical books, how can he have time for such entertainment?" unlike other academicians working in universities and scientific research institutes, Zhang Shourong, who has come out from the production line of enterprises, often goes to the production line of enterprises to understand the situation and solve practical problems. Therefore, his scientific research time is relatively tight. after going to work in the factory in the morning, Zhang Shourong usually goes home for lunch at noon. Afternoon and evening are his precious study and research time. Xiao Li said that every day he would decline many invitation to "ask academicians to show up". "If you don't turn down these offers, you can't guarantee your academic time," Zhang said Therefore, most of the people invited him to dinner, but he did not go; even if he participated in academic activities outside, he only ate buffet, never ate table dinner, let alone attend banquets. In Zhang Shourong's view, too much social intercourse and social activities among scientists is a major obstacle to current scientific research. As an academician, he believes that 60% of the rest time should be spent on academic research, otherwise, it will be difficult to make any achievements. in order to keep his precious scientific research time, even if he is no longer the chief engineer, Zhang Shourong almost does not participate in activities unrelated to his own academic research, especially those meetings where he sits on the rostrum for embellishment. He said: "academicians don't know everything. A person's scope of knowledge is limited. Don't go where you don't know, let alone talk nonsense."
