CTOnews.com, December 18, according to the official website of University of Science and Technology Beijing, Zhang Shouhua, a famous metal materials scientist, metallurgical educator and one of the founders of metal materials and heat treatment in China, died in Beijing on December 17 at the age of 106.

It is reported that Zhang Shouhua was born in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province on October 26, 1917. He was admitted to the Department of Mining and Metallurgy of Tangshan Institute of Technology of Jiaotong University in 1935, and later worked in Sichuan Dadukou Iron and Steel Plant and Qijiang Electrochemical smelter. He went to study at Carnegie Institute of Technology in 1944 and then worked at Westinghouse Electric Manufacturing Company and the Metal Research Laboratory of Carnegie Institute of Technology. In 1948, Zhang Shouhua returned home to teach at Tangshan Institute of Technology of Jiaotong University. In 1952, Zhang Shouhua was appointed as a member of the preparatory committee for the establishment of the Beijing Institute of Iron and Steel (now Beijing University of Science and Technology). Later, he served as a professor and dean of the school's metallographic heat treatment department, technology department and metal science department (later the material science and engineering department). He was hired as the country's first batch of doctoral supervisor in 1981 and retired gloriously in 1995.

According to the obituary, Zhang Shouhua presided over the establishment of China's first metallographic heat treatment major, which has trained a large number of scientific and technical personnel for our country. He edited the first textbook of Alloy Steel in China, and then renamed and revised the Science of Iron and Steel, which won the first prize in the textbook of ministerial colleges and universities, the second prize and medal of the National Teaching Achievement Award. The research results on the action law and composition design of elements in steel obtained under the leadership of Zhang Shouhua have played an important role in the successful development of low alloy ultra-high strength steel for the rocket shell of China's first man-made satellite "Dongfanghong-1".

CTOnews.com learned that GE Changchun, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, once commented on Zhang Shouhua: "although he is not an academician, he has trained a number of academicians, including academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Zou Shichang and Chen Guoliang, and academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering Yin Ruiyu, Zhou Bangxin, Ke Wei, and Tu Mingyi."
