Material Leaders And Private Business Owners Are Very Sympathetic: We Can'T Make Carbon Fiber And We Are Ashamed Of Our Country.

One is the leader of the domestic material industry, the other is a private entrepreneur who keeps fighting on the road of entrepreneurship.

。

But soon afterwards, they were

And acquaintance, and in the next ten years.

In order to make the country more urgent,

China's carbon fiber research has not achieved a key breakthrough since 1970s, when it was tackled from the "7511 project" to 2000 for nearly 30 years.

Around the beginning of 2000, he was determined to promote the development of China's carbon fiber by the more than 80 year old teacher who has long been engaged in metal materials research.

He made it clear that if China's carbon fiber does not go, it will affect the development of national defense science and technology and high technology, and will affect national security.

China's materials science and technology workers have solved thousands of new materials for national defense needs, but if carbon fiber technology can not be broken, it will be a major mistake for materials science and technology workers.

He said, "after 80 years old, I could manage less, but my heart was unwilling, and I still wanted to catch it."

。

If China's carbon fiber is not going to go, there will be no guarantee of national security. I will die. "

Shi Changxu went to Weihai to inspect the production line of the Guang Wei (front row left 2 for Shi Changxu, left 3 for Chen Guangwei).

Coincidentally, at that stage, a Shandong man who was nearly a year old Chen Guangwei was groping for the same thing in the coastal town of Weihai at the eastern end of the Jiaodong Peninsula - developing carbon fiber.

At that time, he founded Guang Wei group because of fishing rod production need to import carbon fiber, but tasted the pain of being blocked by Japan, he said to his staff: "I must make carbon fiber in my lifetime."

(February 3, 1942 - April 22, 2017), founder of Guang Wei Group, China modern fishing tackle.

Leaders, pioneers of the localization of carbon fibers, and pioneers of domestic carbon fibers in aviation applications.

"Pick up carbon fiber"

Chen Guangwei started working on carbon fiber in 1999 years. At that time, he had successfully imported a carbon fiber prepreg production line from Japan. It is worth mentioning that this is the first wide range of carbon fiber prepreg production equipment introduced by China.

At that time, such equipment was controlled by the export of developed countries, and many Chinese enterprises and institutions tried to import, but none of them succeeded.

Guang Wei Group, a private enterprise, was in the fishing pole business at that time, and even involved in prepreg production, all of which were used to produce fishing rods. This has become an important reason for the approval of the production equipment for the introduction of carbon fiber prepreg.

In other words, the small fishing rod has contributed to the introduction of high-end equipment.

If a worker wants to do good, he must first use his tools.

The imported carbon fiber prepreg production line soon played a role, and led to the rapid increase of fishing rod output in Guang Wei group.

But then, an annoying new problem surfaced: the main raw material for producing prepreg carbon fiber was in trouble when it imported.

Carbon fiber belongs to the category of strategic materials. China's imported carbon fiber has been strictly controlled by developed countries such as Japan and the United States, and the licensing management system for end-user examination and guarantee has been implemented.

At that time, every import carbon fiber and every signed contract must be handled by an end-user commitment letter, and the document should also be endorsed by the Ministry of Commerce of China. The process is complex and time-consuming.

In addition, as the preparation and industrialization technology of carbon fiber is mastered by a few developed countries, with the expansion of the market, a seller's market in short supply is rapidly formed.

At that time, the situation was described as "notice price increase and reward supply", that is to say, to buy carbon fiber, the price is not negotiable, and the quantity is not much.

It is in such a serious "choke" situation, Chen Guangwei decided to develop carbon fiber.

However, as a successful entrepreneur who has achieved considerable success in the field of global fishing rods, he is cautious about making major decisions.

At that time, he said to everyone, "let's try out 100 million dollars first. If we succeed, we will continue to work. If we can't stop, we will stop paying the money."

At that time, he was 60 years old.

After making the decision to develop carbon fiber, the difficulty of technology comes to Chen Guangwei.

You know, the developed countries have been strictly blocking carbon fiber technology, so it was impossible for the group to take the technology introduction. At that time, China's actual situation was that few people were doing research in this area, so it was impossible to learn from China's own mature technology.

There is only one way left before Chen Guangwei: his research and development.

Luckily, Chen Guangwei met Chen Guangda, who was 1 years older than him.

Professor Chen Guangda is a senior engineer at the professorship level. He served as the chief engineer of PetroChina Co Ltd Jilin Petrochemical Co Research Institute. He has been engaged in the research and development of carbon fiber since 1975, and has been awarded a national reward based on the successful preparation of one-step carbon fiber.

After his retirement, Chen Guangda was hired by Guang Wei Group in 2000 and became a technology leader in R & D carbon fiber research and development.

In this way, Chen Guangwei was the head of the project, and Professor Chen Guangda served as the leader of technology. They worked together in the small town of Shandong, Weihai, and worked up the carbon fiber day after day.

At this stage, Shi Changxu is taking the task of "Research on the development of PAN based carbon fiber" as the starting point in Beijing, personally organizing research and summarizing experience, trying to find out the reasons why China's carbon fiber is not going to go.

On this basis, Shi Changxu chaired and guided the completion of the "Pan Based Carbon Fiber Development Strategy Research Report", "China's carbon fiber and raw silk development, production units Overview" and other related reports.

After enough preparation, in 2001 1, Shi Changxu wrote a request report to Jiang Zemin, the then general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, on accelerating the development of high-performance carbon fiber.

After the report was given instructions, Shi Changxu personally conducted related research on carbon fiber.

In September 25, 2001, the hi tech development and industrialization division of the Ministry of science and technology held the PAN Seminar on the development and development of high performance carbon fiber in Beijing.

At the meeting, Shi Changxu put forward very specific guidance and strategic adjustment proposals.

Since then, in a very short time, the Ministry of science and technology has decided to set up a carbon fiber special project and set up an expert group, headed by Xu Jian, a Chemical Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and vice chairman of Beijing University of Chemical Technology, Xu Lianghua.

At that time, Guangwei group, due to the close cooperation between Chen Guangwei and Chen Guangda, made good progress in carbon fiber research and development.

At that time, Chen Guangwei mobilized the resources of all aspects of the company to provide resources and platforms for Chen Guangda.

At that time, the state of work was during the day, Professor Chen Guangda put forward the equipment to improve the place. In the evening, Chen Guangwei himself organized the machinery factory related personnel, worked overtime all night, often worked all night, on the second day in the morning, Professor Chen Guangda changed his job before he went to work, so as to ensure that the trial work continued without interruption.

It is through their hard work together and tackling difficulties. They spent only about 1 years or so, and spent 1 million dollars on the budget. The group completed the commissioning of the carbon fiber test line, and produced high-strength carbon fiber samples. During this period, the Weihai Wei Technology Group also received strong support from the group. Especially after the samples came out, comrade Sun Yuzhong, who was the chief of the research management section, led professor Chen Guangda to participate in the carbon fiber research and development conference held at the Institute of chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and demonstrated the samples of high-strength carbon fiber at the meeting.

Acquaintance "863"

Since they embarked on the road to "carbon fiber only", their later acquaintance and deep friendship had been like "doomed".

Because of carbon fiber, Shi Changxu, who is determined to "get carbon fiber up", has heard something about Chen Guang Wei, who wants to get out of carbon fiber.

At that time, though they had not met yet, Shi Changxu had already made some initial impression of Chen Guangwei in his heart.

Before their acquaintance, on February 2002 26, the Ministry of science and technology held a "863 Plan" and "fifteen" ventilation meeting.

At the meeting, Mr. Shi proposed that the key to R & D of domestic carbon fiber projects should be clear objectives. Two, the organizational form should be innovating. We must promote joint and not have "sectarianism". We must support the establishment of a fair and just "third party evaluation system for on-site sampling."

The core of the system is the 3 words "on-site acquisition". It is no exaggeration to say that without these 3 words, the situation of China's carbon fiber might not have achieved today.

The specific practice is that the sampling expert group will randomly sample from the production line at the scene, take the samples taken from different units back to Beijing, carry out a unified numbering, and then send them to the units undertaking the test task (third party) to conduct the test under the same conditions.

Subsequently, the test results were handed over to the expert group and announced by the expert group.

According to the performance data of each product, the expert group sorted the participating units on the spot.

After the result of this procedure, everyone was convinced.

Since then, it is also a new evaluation model that has been actively promoted by Shi Chang Xu. With the excellent performance of products, Guang Wei group can be ranked as the leader of the "863 Plan" carbon fiber special project, and the Weihai development Fiber Co., Ltd. will be able to undertake 4 related carbon fiber research and development projects, and Chen Guangwei can lead the world's final entry into the national team.

About 2004 4 months, Shi Changxu and Chen Guangwei met for the first time, and reached the "two points" consensus of "industrialization" and "use up".

In 2005, Shi Changxu wrote in his own words: "carry forward the spirit of Weihai and create a Chinese carbon fiber base".

In this way, when China's carbon fiber technology and industrialization progress, Mr. Shi immediately put the domestic carbon fiber application on the agenda.

Under the guidance of Shi Changxu, the "863 Plan" project of the Ministry of science and Technology launched the "carbon fiber stabilization and continuous operation project". The development of fiber was the responsibility of the project. In less than 1 years, the first 10 t carbon fiber engineering production line was built in China.

In November 8, 2005, the national "863 Plan" project "CCF- 1 grade PAN carbon fiber precursor test" and "technical research on the key technologies of stabilization and continuous production" were held in Guang Wei group. This is the first acceptance meeting of the "863 Plan" project undertaken by private enterprises in China. At that time, Shi Changxu, who was over the age of 80, came to Weihai personally and presided over the meeting.

Chen Guangwei did not take part in the second half of this review meeting. After attending the production site, Chen Guang Wei told Mr. Shi: "you continue the meeting, I will stay in the workshop to implement the work of equipment improvement."

On the same day, 2 projects were successfully passed.

The expert group agreed that China's carbon fiber technology has made significant breakthroughs. The CCF300 carbon fiber developed by Weihai development Fiber Co., Ltd. has reached the world's advanced level of similar products, and has achieved engineering. Through the acceptance of the "863 Plan" project, it has filled the gap in China.

On that day, Shi Changxu was very happy. He thought he saw the dawn of breakthroughs in China's carbon fiber. In the meantime, he pointed to the direction of Liu Gong island and said very excitedly, "we are not afraid of you at all in Japan."

"Shoulder to shoulder" to serve the country

As the master of material circles, Shi Changxu knows that it is the absolute principle to use carbon fiber as the new material.

On the second day after the completion of the technical appraisal meeting, the first working conference of "domestic carbon fiber aeronautical engineering application" was held in Weihai (now known as the "119 meeting").

At that time, Guo Dianman, vice general manager of Shenyang aircraft manufacturing company, Feng Ziming, deputy general manager of Shenyang Aircraft Design Institute, Zhang Yining, researcher Zhu Shan and Wei Jinlong of the Institute of aircraft design and research, attended the meeting.

It is this "119 meeting" which signifies the "joining the army" of the Guang Wei group. It also indicates that Chen Guangwei has embarked on a road of "serving the army" in the face of the needs of the country.

Since then, Chen Guangwei has led the development of "Guang Wei" carbon fiber and embarked on the direction of "military products".

Since then, he has adjusted the development idea of Guang Wei carbon fiber, and applied the verification work of general workers to the first place on the agenda of the work, and put forward the idea of "giving priority to military products and supporting the army with the people".

Through the "119 meeting", the "119" project team was formally established, the project was named "domestic carbon fiber aviation application engineering verification".

At first, the state did not approve the project.

The "119" project team decided to conduct a thorough test after surveying the wholly owned subsidiary of Limited by Share Ltd, Weihai, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Guang Wei composite material, which is to conduct multiple batches of sampling tests on existing production lines, followed by product stability assessment.

At the same time, the project team requested that the expansion of fiber carbon fiber production capacity as soon as possible to expand to 40 t/a or above, otherwise the 10 t line validation and no application value.

After knowing this requirement, Chen Guangwei did not hesitate to make capacity enlargement immediately.

At that time, the development of fibers was mainly aimed at enlarging the raw silk equipment (third times), with the goal of producing 130 t 3K per year.

At the beginning of 2007, under the concern of Shi Changxu, the /50 ton carbon / production line of 130 tons of raw silk was passed through the acceptance check, which is the first in China.

。

The line achieved significant results at the end of the 2008 year end. At that time, the aviation industry group and the air assembly jointly held the assembly review conference.

During the meeting, Mr. Shi Changxu and Chen Guangwei, two gentlemen, showed a gratifying smile from time to time.

In 2012 6, the project of "domestic carbon fiber aeronautical application engineering" was painted a full stop.

At that time, China aviation industry group and the air force equipment department of the Chinese people's Liberation Army held a large technical appraisal meeting again, which fully summed up the experience of application verification and played a great role in promoting the application of domestic carbon fiber in the aviation field.

During this period, the development of fiber has gained the construction project of the National Engineering Laboratory. Under this laboratory, 5 R & D departments were set up, the main leaders were from the research institutes in China, and the chairman of the Committee of experts was Shi Changxu himself.

This national platform has played a crucial role in the process of promoting the industrialization of Guang Wei carbon fiber, making the research and development mode of production, learning, research and application more efficient. Meanwhile, it also played an important role in promoting the verification of the military application of Guang Wei carbon fiber.

Since stepping on the road of military carbon fiber production, Chen Guangwei has been struggling until the last moment before his hospitalization.

The biggest regret of Chen Guangwei's life was that he did not join the army. Now, there is still a picture of him wearing a military uniform on his wall. He was shot when he was elected political commissar of the reserve service, so he was actually dressed as a reserve officer.

But he thinks this is "joining the army", and the soldier should contribute to the country and national defense.

In November 2014, Shi Changxu passed away.

In less than 3 years, Chen Guangwei died in 2017 4.

In the process of R & D and application of carbon fiber, the two of them are far sighted, fair and fair at the strategic level, one is down-to-earth and insistent at the tactical level; the just and fair can provide opportunities; they insist on going ahead and are always ready to seize opportunities; opportunities are always left to those who are prepared.

Nowadays, GQ3522 carbon fiber products, which expand fiber production, have been widely applied in China's aerospace industry, which has completely reversed the needs of China in these fields.

In the passive situation of "being controlled by others", China's ability of "Self-protection" in these areas has been greatly improved.

Just imagine that without the efforts of two gentlemen over the past decade or so, the production of various models of China's aerospace industry may also face the situation of "being stuck" like the "Zhongxing incident".

The wind of a gentleman is very high.

On the occasion of the centenary of Shi Changxu's birthday, we miss him deeply and miss Chen Guangwei.

Not only have they achieved their respective goals, they have promoted carbon fiber and made carbon fiber, and have widely applied carbon fiber to the field of national defense and military industry, and created a new prospect of deep research and wide application of carbon fiber.

In addition, they left many valuable assets to their posterity.

For example, the method of site sampling and public evaluation promoted by Mr. Shi has been widely adopted in the management of materials research and development projects. Chen Guangwei advocated the idea of "waiting for the job and doing it first", which provided a basis for the "post subsidy" mode of scientific research projects at the national level thereafter.

Chen Guangwei, Li Shu Xiang, etc., take photos with Mr. Shi Changxu.

Today, China is now striving for the realization of the "strong army dream" and realizing the dream of "carbon fiber power" is an important support for the realization of the "strong army dream" and is also the dream of Shi Chang Xu in his later years.

Although Shi Changxu and Chen Guangwei have "driven the crane to the west", those of us who continue to struggle on the breakthroughs in the domestic breakthroughs of carbon fiber technology and equipment still need to firmly inherit their legacy. After breaking the blockade and solving the problem of domestic carbon fiber from scratch, they continue to make the domestic carbon fiber from "usable" to "easy to use" and shorten it.

The gap between industrialization level and international advanced level is unremitting efforts for China's carbon fiber industry to stand in the forest of world development.
