Li Guoping of TISCO Wins Distinguished Engineer Encouragement Award
OREANDA-NEWS. November 12, 2014. The award ceremony of the China top engineer award ---the first Distinguished Engineer Award---was held in CCTV, Beijing. Li Guoping, a professor level senior engineer in stainless steel research office of TISCO Technology Center, won the Distinguished Engineer Encouragement Award. This the second time for him to win the national honor after he won the 12th Science & Technology Award for Chinese Youth in 2011.
The Distinguished Engineer Award of China was set up at the initiatives of 29 Chinese scientists including Ding Shisun, Zhu Guangya, Shi Changxu and 25 foreign scientists including Chen-Ning Franklin Yang, Shiing-shen Chern and Samuel Chao Chung Ting, and approved by the Ministry of Science and Technology and the National Office of Science and Technology Awardsin order to commend and award the engineers and technicians who made outstanding contributions in the production and construction throughout the country. The winners of the award are selected every two years, among it, the winners of the Distinguished Engineer Award is no more than 30 at a time, the winners of the Distinguished Engineer Encouragement Award is no more than 70 at a time.
After 5-month reviews and evaluations by the jury consisted of the experts of China industry associations, academicians of Chinese Academy of Science and Chinese Academy of Engineering, the first 30 winners of the Distinguished Engineer Award and the 68 winners of the Distinguished Engineer Encouragement Award were finally selected.
In recent years, Li Guoping is devoted in the process development and the popularization and application of the metal composite material, duplex stainless steel, heat resistant stainless steel and high nitrogen stainless steel and made many breakthroughs. The metal composite material developed by him met the demand for the projects of the Three Gorges, vacuum salt production, petrochemical, oil refining and rail transit. In the aspect of duplex stainless steel, TISCO takes the lead in forming the duplex stainless steel product series with different alloy contents and different properties in China, their properties reaches the international advanced level and fills the gaps in this field in China. The products are certified by many classification societies and widely used in the building of 10000-ton class chemical tankers, used in the manufacturing the important structure members of AP 1000 nuclear power units in batches.
They have been certified by internationally renowned companies such as Shell, Mobil, BP etc., entered into the international market and largely used in the natural gas gathering pipes in Middle East. At the same time, they have been successfully used in the rail transit, building curtain wall and sea water desalination projects and won the Metallurgical Market Developing Award. The high alloy heat resistant stainless steel and high performance lean nickel heat resistant stainless steel containing rare earth developed in the charge of Li Guoping changed the situation of long-term dependence on imports.
He headed the development of the national standard for the heat resistant stainless steel. He was also responsible for the development of the high nitrogen stainless steel long and flat products and first made them into industrial production in the world. The products of high nitrogen stainless steel have been used in the armored vehicles, wear-proof screen mesh of coal mine and bridge diagonal guys. He won the national and provincial awards on Science and Technology Progress eight times, is the science and technology leader of Shanxi Province, the excellent science and technology worker of Shanxi Province and the winner of Taiyuan Young Scientific Talent Award.
