She, only has a secondary school education, but she is recognized as a "small expert" in electrical; she, not tall, but not small, is known as the "Mulan" of the carbon front.
On November 24, 2020, when she stood on the podium of the National Labor Model and Advanced Worker Commendation Conference, she undoubtedly reached a peak of her life and opened a new milestone.
There have been growing pains, tears and suffering, more joy of success, 28 years of perseverance and dedication, Zhang Pingxiang has left a string of workers' shining footprints behind him, winning a round of applause.
Zhang Pingxiang went deep into the workshop to check the safe operation of the equipment
Diligent study and hard work, technical positions have emerged
In 1992, Zhang Pingxiang graduated from Gansu Metallurgical Industrial School, majoring in electrification of metallurgical enterprises. She originally had the opportunity to be assigned to work in a town government, but eventually gave up, choosing to come to Lanzhou Carbon Factory, the predecessor of Fangda Carbon, and wanted to apply her major to corporate practice.
Zhang Pingxiang was assigned to a processing plant to work as an electrician and technician. When he first arrived at the unit, Zhang Pingxiang felt a little confused, facing many advanced and complex imported equipment imported from the United States and Japan, which was under pressure for a technical secondary school student who had just graduated. But at that time, she was not intimidated, but inspired the fighting spirit, she secretly cheered herself up, must master these equipment, must be in the operation and maintenance management of equipment to do something.
As a result, she lay down next to the equipment every day, eager to learn and study. However, the knowledge learned in secondary school seemed a little stretched in the face of imported equipment, so she decided to recharge herself and chewed up the electrical textbooks of the university undergraduate like a hunger.
Kung Fu pays off, after 4 years of time, she has read more than a dozen university textbooks such as "Electric Drag Automatic Control System", "Electrical Control Technology and PLC Application", "Microcomputer Control Technology", etc., and in five or six years, Zhang Pingxiang gradually mastered all the imported equipment of the processing plant, and emerged in the field of enterprise electrical equipment, becoming a well-known electrical expert.

Discerning and talented, "soil experts" became famous in the first world war
In 2006, Fangda Carbon was restructured, the development of enterprises entered the fast lane, and various major technological transformation projects began one after another, which brought opportunities for Zhang Pingxiang, who was eager to do something, to show his talents.
At that time, the company introduced the world's most advanced 4,000-ton electrode extruder from Japan. The introduction of this equipment is an extremely important step in the strategic development of Fangda Carbon. However, after the foreign experts left, what was left behind was a "mess", especially the full automation of the batching system and the mixed-nile system was not fully debugged successfully, and it was almost paralyzed. To this end, Fangda Carbon specializes in recruiting professionals for the society to solve the urgent need. There are many people who come to apply, but in the end, because the 4000T-2500T system is too large and the program is too complicated, they have retreated.
What to do? Are you watching tens of millions of dollars worth of equipment become a decoration? At the critical moment, Zhang Pingxiang stepped forward and took the initiative to ask for help, asking for a try, which caused a wave of doubt. Fortunately, the company's leaders had the insight to agree to her request, giving her great spiritual encouragement, and the "Maxima" finally had a place to play. In the eyes of everyone's expectation, Zhang Pingxiang stepped onto the position of equipment supervisor of the third workshop of the press molding factory, when she was 35 years old.
The decisive battle began, Zhang Pingxiang plunged into the programming work, forgot the day and night, forgot the husband and children, and led the technical team to tackle the problem. With a "English-Chinese Dictionary", with the fighting spirit of not accepting defeat, she successfully entered the program, successfully completed the automation debugging of the A, B, C, D, E, F system, and finally realized the fully automated production, and the whole company was relieved.
In the process of trial production of 4,000 tons of hydraulic press, "foreign equipment" continues to appear in the situation, Zhang Pingxiang led the team to dare to give foreign equipment "surgery", has completed 25 equipment transformation projects, 81 technological innovations, more than 130 items of repair and waste, equipment failure rate remained below 1.2 ‰, the output of 4,000 tons of electrode extruder from the beginning of production of more than 60 tons per day, rapidly increased to 175 tons per day, Φ800mm and other large-scale, ultra-high power electrode products successfully off the line, Successfully filled one gap after another in the national carbon industry.
Zhang Pingxiang became famous in one battle and has since gained the reputation of "small expert" in electrical.

Break through the bottleneck and promote the localization of foreign spare parts
As a world-class carbon industry strong enterprise, Fangda Carbon has a very prominent equipment advantage in the industry, and many of the main equipment are imported equipment. However, there is also a problem that is also very prominent, that is, once the equipment fails, the timely supply of spare parts has a great impact on ensuring the smooth completion of the maintenance work. The procurement cycle of imported equipment is long, and the price is high, and the matter of foreign equipment spare parts card neck occurs again and again, which has become a major bottleneck restricting production.
We must not let people get stuck in their necks, and the initiative of equipment management must be in their own hands! Time is running out, just do it! Zhang Pingxiang and her team are fully engaged in this work, constantly exploring the road that no one has ever walked before. The first example completed by Zhang Pingxiang and her team is the solid-state contactor, the realization of the localization of spare parts not only ensures the maintenance and production needs, but also saves more than 200,000 yuan in material costs for the enterprise every year. After tasting the sweetness, Zhang Pingxiang was out of control in the localization of imported spare parts and spare parts, imported hydraulic press main pump module, Siemens DC adjuster, heating silo busbar imported insulation... Over the past few years, all the vulnerable parts on foreign equipment have basically achieved localization, and Zhang Pingxiang's hard sweat has finally been richly rewarded.
Because of his outstanding performance, Zhang Pingxiang won the title of Outstanding Communist Party Member of Lanzhou City, and was honored to be elected as a deputy to the 17th People's Congress of Honggu District, and was successively awarded the Gansu Provincial Labor Model and the National Labor Model. The team she led has been rated as the "Pioneer of Workers" in Gansu Province and the "Li Bin-style Team" of the National Machinery Metallurgical Building Materials Workers' Union. But she still maintains a dedication and love for the enterprise, interprets the spirit of craftsmanship with life, polishes the background of labor with sweat, and adheres to greatness in the ordinary.
