As a leading enterprise in Dazhou, Dagang has developed from a small steel mill with an annual output of 30,000 tons to a large comprehensive enterprise with 6,543,800 tons of steelmaking, rolling and ironmaking, 6,543,800 tons of coking, 6,543,800 tons of coal chemical products and 2 million meters of new composite pipes after more than 50 years of development.

Years change, and life grows old. For the elderly in big cities, Dagang is a scenery that cannot be ignored. For Dagang people, it has become a part of life. In particular, the old people who participated in the early days of Dagang construction recalled the year, and their memories were fresh and full of emotions.

Jian kang Bei mo Jian steel mill

Dagang is located in the former Wangjiabang in the west of Dacheng City, adjacent to the western countryside in the east, with original leather factory, nitrogen fertilizer factory and regional silk factory in the west, Zhouhe in the south and railway station in the north. Relevant information shows that on June 26th, 1958, "Hongqi Iron and Steel Plant in Daxian County, Sichuan Province" was established, and ground was broken on August 3rd of the same year. At that time, more than 3,000 design, survey and construction teams from Beijing, An, Wu, Cheng, Chongqing, Nanchong and Daxian County dug a mountain and built a factory building in a barren mountain with poor accommodation and few construction machinery. After a year's efforts, the main and auxiliary production facilities with an annual output of 30,000 tons and 25,000 tons of steel were basically completed in May 1960, and the first batch of steel was rolled out (steel ingots were supplied by Wanxin Iron Works), and the first batch of steel was refined in mid-May. However, at that time, due to poor conditions, lack of macro planning, unreasonable layout, unsuitable equipment, poor construction quality, incomplete capital construction, and the project was put into production without acceptance, resulting in abnormal production. In March 1962 and 16, we were forced to suspend production, streamline the organization and decentralize personnel, leaving only more than 70 people in the whole factory.

Until April 1965, Dagang resumed production, and the first batch of qualified steel products meeting the standards issued by the Ministry was smelted on June 4.

Production workshop and auxiliary workshop

197 1 May, according to the instructions of Sichuan Revolutionary Committee and Daxian Land Reform Committee at that time, the regional labor bureau issued 700 recruitment targets to Dagang, recruiting rural educated youth and demobilized soldiers in Dazhu, Daxian, Pyeongchang and Xuanhan, and enriching the production line. The main production workshops are steelmaking, steel rolling and refractory workshops, and the auxiliary workshops are power, machine maintenance, oxygen production, rollers, maintenance workshops and automobile teams. The steelmaking workshop is divided into smelting class, demoulding class, steel pouring class, bottom plate class, furnace lining class, after-furnace heating class and walking electric tongs class. The main work is to turn pig iron into molten iron and then convert it into steel by converter, and then cast it into ingots in the steel rolling workshop for steel rolling.

There are workshops for steel rolling, including first rolling, second rolling and third rolling. The first rolling is to heat the ingot and roll it into billet and rolled material, and the second rolling and the third rolling are to roll the billet into steel. Steel products include square steel, round steel, rebar, small flat steel and light rail steel. The workshop has classes such as heating, rolling, finishing, driving, roller loading, accessories, operation and electrical fitter.

Refractory workshop is to process refractory materials into bricks and fire them in the brick kiln of steelmaking workshop for steelmaking. There are nearly 20 kinds of refractory bricks, such as leaky head brick, column tube brick, 1 No.2, No.3, No.4 runner brick, No.2 ladle brick, universal arc lining brick and standard brick. There are three stages: crushing, forming and firing. In a word, the work of other auxiliary workshops is centered on serving steelmaking and rolling.

Dagang products sell well all over the country.

After Dagang resumed production, the production rhythm was accelerated. 1June 1985, 6 tons of pure oxygen top-blown converter was put into production, and the quality of each production workshop was strictly controlled. Because of the good quality of steel, it sells well all over the country. Exported to Yunnan, Guizhou, Hubei, Guangdong, Guangxi, Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, Gansu, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Liaoning, Heilongjiang and other provinces and cities. Dazhou local construction steel is basically Dagang steel. 1970 also provides much-needed bridge bearing steel castings for the construction of Hunan-Chongqing railway; 1985, providing some steel for electrified railway construction; It also provided much-needed cut-to-length round steel for Zhong Sheng Reservoir in Sichuan. 1983 A major flood occurred in Ankang, Shaanxi Province, and Dagang quickly provided steel to support the flood-fighting in the disaster area.

Steel rolling workers are tired and hard.

Uncle Shao, who used to work in the steelmaking workshop, said that he went to the countryside in March 1969 and jumped the queue as an educated youth in the former Torch Commune (now Betel nut Township). Because he performed well on May 25th, 197 1 was transferred to Dagang. When he received the admission notice, he was almost ecstatic. That night, he invited several educated youth friends to play the harmonica together.

After arriving at Steel, Uncle Deng was arranged to rest with other new workers in a warehouse in a fire-resistant workshop near Zhouhe. In the evening, everyone gave out a straw mat and arranged it on the ground. After a week's training, he was assigned to the smelting class in the steelmaking workshop as a general worker, with a monthly salary of 28 yuan and a weight of more than 40 kilograms. I saw the same batch of workers entering the factory, some of whom were assigned as apprentices, some drove cars, and some worked as turners or auxiliary workshops. On the first day of work, I put on my brand-new work clothes, work hat and gloves, stood beside my master and watched the dazzling sparks in the steelmaking converter. I was really happy. I also ask him questions from time to time. Soon, when the slag fell from the converter, the heat wave came on my face, scaring my uncle back straight. "Oh my god, it's scary to watch, especially when I see the master hanging a slag pot in the furnace pit. If you are not careful, you will fall into the red slag pot with a high temperature of 1000. The master also said that I made a demonstration two days ago, and I will hang it myself in a few days. " Uncle Shao said that he regretted seeing this scene. Knowing that the smelter is hot, tired and dangerous, he shouldn't enter Dagang, so he often goes to the factory infirmary to leave a note for sick leave. Later, the monitor saw that he was small and thin, and he was really incompetent. With the consent of the workshop leader, he was transferred to the inspection room to draw steel numbers. Uncle Deng said that although this job is not very dangerous, it is necessary to write the steel number on the red ingot with a brush dipped in paint, and the whole body is burning and sweating all day.

"The workers in the lining class of steelmaking furnace work in the converter, which is not only hot, but also has a particularly strong tar smell and is very unpleasant." The 64-year-old uncle Hu described his face as dark when he got off work, and he could only see two eyeballs turning. The current general manager of Dagang used to be a worker in the lining class. Heating after furnace is a heavy physical labor. It completely relies on manpower to send iron blocks weighing 40-50 kg to the evolution iron furnace to become molten iron, and then it is poured into the converter with a ladle and blown into steel. I'm tired from work every day, so I don't want to get up when I'm full. "When I think about it, being a worker is not easier than being a farmer. However, workers have a fixed amount, and it is good to be full that year. " Uncle Hu is emotional.

Uncle Xiao, who has worked in the steel rolling workshop for more than 20 years, said that Peng Zhijian, the former blowing worker of the smelting class in the steelmaking workshop, lost his life because of converter slag. However, the risk of steel rolling workers is not small. All steel rollers are manually operated, and tens of meters of red steel bars shuttle like snakes. If you are not careful, you will be worn through and entangled by steel bars. "There is an 8-level old worker in our workshop. When a steel bar passed through his leg, the old man was experienced and stood still until the steel bar was completely worn out. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable. " Grandpa said that another educated youth named Zang Houhua was not so lucky. When adjusting the rolling mill, he was caught by the rolling mill sleeve and "dismissed" on the spot. Up to now, my uncle is still deeply saddened by this incident. "At that time, the work of our' steel second brother' was really too bitter, too tired and too dangerous. Now Dagang is fully automated, and most employees are sitting in the control room, which is clean, comfortable and not dangerous. "

It's hard to fall in love with a bad job.

At that time, some women workers in the factory privately called the grinders "second-class citizens" and the refractory workers were named "experts" in brick burning. "Second-class citizens" and "experts" are hard to find because of hard work. Uncle Gao, who lives at the intersection of Daba, said that since he was 24 years old, his parents had arranged for him to meet five girlfriends, and three of them heard that he was from the steel-making workshop and said that they would never see him again. A girlfriend who works in the sales department is his junior high school classmate, and they get along very well. But after more than a year of contact, I still can't beat Yuanyang. It was not until Uncle got married at the age of 27 that his parents transferred him to another unit in the city and formed a family with a teacher the next year. Grandpa said, "At that time, I baked a lot of red pimples on my face. Which' second-class citizen' thinks highly of us? Fortunately, my wife didn't abandon her. She is the best woman in the world and I will treat her well all my life. "

Uncle Wu, who burns bricks in a fire-resistant workshop, said that his mother is a primary school teacher in rural areas and his father is a doctor in a town hospital. His family is not bad. I have been in contact with a female worker in the machine shop of our factory for more than two years. When he proposed to get married, his girlfriend said that her parents wanted him to stop being an "expert", otherwise there was no discussion. From then on, Uncle Wu vowed not to fall in love for three years, so anxious that his parents and family found relatives and friends and introduced several objects. Grandpa refused to meet, so angry that his parents and grandparents said he was a "stubborn cow" and only married a female worker in a street enterprise at the age of 29. Up to now, the nickname "stubborn cow" is often teased by his wife. Grandpa said Dagang is a heavy industrial enterprise with few female workers and high vision. Usually they get married outside, so it is quite difficult for male compatriots to fall in love in this factory. "The lathe operator is tight, the fitter is loose and the hanger is an electrician." If these jobs are involved, it will be easier to find a girlfriend.
