Xia Wei was born in September 1928 in Yantai, Shandong Province. As a teenager, he lived in Korea, returned to China after the victory of the Anti Japanese war in 1945, and took part in revolutionary work in Anton (now Dandong City).

Life figures

In 1948, he studied in Anton Institute of science and technology. In 1949, he was admitted to the Mechanical Department of Shenyang Institute of Technology (later Northeast Institute of technology, now Northeast University). After graduation in 1952, he was assigned to work in Harbin aluminum processing plant (known as 101 plant, later northeast light alloy processing plant, now Northeast Light Alloy Co., Ltd.), and soon served as the deputy chief of design department. He joined the Communist Party of China in July 1952. From 1954 to 1956, we organized general practitioners to participate in the design and construction of the first aluminum processing plant in China - 101 plant, which was aided by the former Soviet Union, until the first phase of the project, aluminum plate, tube, bar and profile, was completed and put into operation. In 1957, Xia Wei transferred to Shenyang Aluminum Magnesium Design Institute, and still served as the general design director of phase II project of 101 plant. He organized the technical personnel of the Institute and plant to complete the construction drawing design of molding and aluminum magnesium powder workshop. The project was completed and put into operation in 1960, contributing to the successful construction of China's first non-ferrous metal processing material production base. Soon after, the task of aluminum processing design was transferred from Shenyang Aluminum and Magnesium Design Institute to Beijing Nonferrous Metallurgy Design Institute. Xia Wei was transferred to Beijing as the general design director, and presided over the design of the second large aluminum processing plant in China, 112 plant (formerly known as Honggucheng aluminum, magnesium and titanium processing plant, later Southwest Aluminum processing plant, and now Southwest Aluminum Group Co., Ltd.). In order to meet the needs of national economic development for non-ferrous metal processing materials, in 1964, the state established a professional processing and design unit Luoyang non ferrous metal processing and Design Institute (hereinafter referred to as Luoyang Institute). He was transferred to Luoyang and continued to be the general director of engineering design of the plant. Under his leadership, after more than ten years of hard work and fruitful work, he overcame the difficulties brought about by the former Soviet Union's tearing up the agreement, withdrawing experts, interrupting aid and the "Cultural Revolution". He successfully completed the pre design, preliminary design preparation, construction drawing design, on-site construction and installation services, until the factory was completed and put into operation in the early 1970s, and qualified products were obtained. The factory is the first self-designed and built aluminum production base in China, and it is also the largest aluminum production base in China. Its successful construction has greatly promoted the rapid development of various departments of China's national economy, especially the national defense industry. In 1978, Xia Wei was the deputy chief engineer of Luoyang Institute, and in 1982, he was the chief engineer of Luoyang Institute. He was in charge of the design of new aluminum processing and technological transformation projects undertaken by the Institute, including the processing projects of aluminum plate, strip and foil, aluminum profile, doors and windows, as well as the deep processing projects of mint, beverage can, PS plate for printing, aluminum tube sheet evaporator, solar collector and food packaging bag. During this period, he also organized and led the technical transformation of strip system in 101 plant and the design of Bohai aluminum processing plant. He made many overseas visits and exchanges to understand the current situation and development trend of the world's aluminum processing industry, and put forward many valuable suggestions for the leaders' decision-making. In 1981, the one-step project of Southwest Aluminum processing plant designed by him won the national excellent design award. In 1987, the technological transformation project of 101 plant won the National Excellent Design Gold Award and the second prize of national science and technology progress award. Xia Wei is the main winner. in recognition of Xia Wei's outstanding achievements in the field of non-ferrous metal processing and design and his important contribution to socialist construction, he was one of the first batch to enjoy special government subsidies and won the title of "China Engineering Design Master" by the Ministry of construction. He was a model worker in Henan Province in 1989. He has strived for decades for the development of China's aluminum processing industry and contributed all his wisdom and strength.

Technical achievements

Before the founding of the people's Republic of China, there was almost no aluminum processing industry in China. In 1919, a workshop style aluminum products factory was established in Shanghai, which rolled small pieces of aluminum with imported aluminum to make some small aluminum utensils. In 1932, foreigners set up Hualu steel refining plant, which made China's aluminum processing enter the ranks of industrial production. At that time, China's aluminum processing design was a blank; after the founding of new China, especially in the war to resist US aggression and aid Korea, in the face of imperialist bombardment, our people deeply realized the importance of strengthening national defense construction and improving the level of national defense modernization to safeguard national sovereignty and national dignity. In China's first five year plan for national economic and social development (hereinafter referred to as "the first five year plan"), of the 156 key projects designed and supplied by the former Soviet Union with complete sets of equipment, the first batch of 101 plants which mainly provide materials for military industry are listed. They plan to produce aluminum and aluminum alloy plates, tubes, rods, profiles and die forgings, and then add aluminum magnesium powder and radiator for atomic energy reactor The special tube. After two years of intensive preparation, the first phase of the project was started in 1954. Xia Wei and a group of young people who just graduated were the first to come into contact with the design of large aluminum processing enterprises in the process of preparing and building plant 101. In the process of civil construction and installation of equipment and pipelines, he learned with an open mind how the Soviet experts solved the design technical problems in the process of construction and installation, and invited experts to give lectures to master the design knowledge of the system. In 1956, the first phase project of plant 101 was completed and put into operation, producing qualified aluminum strip and tube bar profiles, providing much-needed raw materials for the national defense industry. By participating in the construction and commissioning of phase I project, Xia Wei initially mastered the engineering design knowledge of aluminum processing enterprise, including general layout, process flow, equipment performance, plane configuration, inspection, machine repair, water, electricity, wind, steam and other auxiliary production and power supply for aluminum processing production services, which laid a solid foundation for him to preside over the design of the second large aluminum processing enterprise in the future Basics. In 1957, according to the preliminary design of the Soviet side, Xia Wei organized the scientific and technological personnel of the Institute and factory to carry out the construction drawing design of die forging, aluminum magnesium powder and other projects of the second phase project, which was completed and put into operation in 1960, and produced qualified products to provide materials for the development of China's aviation industry. During the "Five Year Plan" period, the national defense industry and various departments of the national economy put forward newer and higher requirements for the material industry, requiring to provide longer, wider and larger materials. In order to meet these needs, the central government decided to build a comprehensive large-scale aluminum magnesium titanium processing plant with more varieties, specifications and scale. In February 1959, China signed an agreement with the former Soviet government to entrust the Soviet side to design and provide complete sets of equipment. Soon after, the Soviet side tore up the agreement, withdrew experts and interrupted the construction assistance, which made the progress of the project in trouble. At this critical moment, the central government decided to be independent and self reliant, to design and manufacture its own equipment, and to build its own Southwest Aluminum processing plant. After repeated research, it is determined that the construction of this large-scale aluminum magnesium titanium material processing plant will be divided into two phases. The first phase is divided into two steps. The first step is to design and build a processing plant with four sets of large-scale equipment - 2800 mm hot rolling mill and cold rolling mill, 12500 tons horizontal extrusion press and 30000 tons die forging hydraulic press as the main machine, to produce large-scale aluminum materials for the use of national defense, military industry and national economic departments In addition to the five sets needed by other metallurgical construction projects at that time, the nine major equipment developed by China itself were formed. The Central Committee decided that the former Ministry of metallurgical industry (hereinafter referred to as the Ministry of metallurgical industry) and the former first Ministry of machinery industry (hereinafter referred to as the first Ministry of machinery, other similar departments) should be in charge of the work, and a joint leading group should be set up to lead the work. Xia Wei was appointed to preside over the glorious and arduous task of designing the Southwest Aluminum processing plant. He bravely shouldered the heavy burden and made progress in the face of difficulties. In accordance with the policy of "striving for strength, self-reliance, ensuring quality and striving for time" put forward by the Central Committee, he organized all the designers, followed the principle of defying difficulties strategically, winning glory for the country, resolutely completing tasks and attaching importance to difficulties tactically, and conscientiously carried out the design work in accordance with the scientific procedures of basic construction and the principle of doing every step of the work in a down-to-earth manner It's a job. draw up the product plan, determine the process flow and select the main production equipment. As the chief designer, Xia Wei deeply understood that cooperating with the manufacturing plant in equipment design is an important part of building a good factory. Therefore, after accepting the task, he first organized the designers to carry out product and process technology research, and studied and discussed with the Ministry of metallurgy, the first machinery department, the third machinery department and other relevant departments for many times. On this basis, he carefully completed this work. When the four sets of large-scale equipment were selected, Xia Wei organized process designers to put forward the equipment design specification twice in October 1960 and June 1961, and the large-scale review meeting with the participation of manufacturers and equipment manufacturers, design and scientific research institutions and colleges and universities was held jointly by the Ministry of metallurgy and the first machinery. Subsequently, the equipment design and manufacturing plants completed the design scheme according to the approved design specification. According to statistics, the two departments have organized 11 review meetings on equipment design specification and design, and the main process parameters and equipment structure are determined on the basis of brainstorming. After careful production by the manufacturer, the high quality of the equipment is guaranteed. Three sets of equipment won the national quality product award in the late 1970s. select plant site, collect basic design data, sign agreement and implement external design conditions. Xia Wei organized designers of general layout, civil engineering, water, electricity and other disciplines to select sites according to the requirements of industrial layout. He surveyed 48 sites in Sichuan, Shaanxi, Guizhou and other provinces. After comprehensive technical and economic comparison, he determined that the site was located in Xipeng area of Chongqing. He also invited railway, water transportation, water supply and drainage and other professional design units to jointly plan the industrial area, residential area, water source area, wharf, railway junction point, garbage dump and construction land at the site of the plant. Xia Wei organized the designers to work together in preparation for the project
