Lin Fan had only been working at the factory for an hour when the workshop director came over.
"Lin Fan, what are you busy with?" the director said.
Lin Fan turned around and saw the workshop director, and said hello: "It's the director, what can I do?"
Then I saw someone beside the director, and I was a little confused.
The director said: "You have been promoted to the fifth level of fitter, and you can also take care of apprentices. This is Chen Tao, the son of the old man of the eighth workshop, Chen Tou, who came to take over his shift today. You are the only workshop that has not taken on apprentices yet. Today, I will give you a job."
You brought it over."
There are temporary workers, apprentices and regular workers working in the workshop.
Temporary workers generally do odd jobs, with the lowest wages, and their work is very scattered. They can be replaced by the factory at any time.
Apprentices are generally hired by family elders or couples and workers arranged by the street. They become regular workers in three years. Apprentices learn from workers above level four.
After becoming regular workers, they take part in the assessment and are graded. This type of workers is the main source of factory workers.
Formal workers are apprentices who become full-time workers, but there are also high-quality talents recruited from society because their families have made outstanding contributions to the workers.
There are also not many people who die after a work-related injury and someone from the family comes to take over.
Chen Tao succeeded him and came to the factory to become an apprentice. After three years, he could become a full-time employee as long as he made no mistakes.
"Okay, no problem, don't worry, director." Lin Fan looked at Chen Tao and said to the director.
All fitters above level 4 in the workshop have apprentices, and he is no exception. High-level workers are valuable in the factory.
The leaders of the factory are eager to have more high-level workers in the workshop. For a factory, the task completion rate will be very high.
Most factories now carry out semi-manual operations, the machines are very good, and talent is the top priority.
"Okay, Chen Tao, starting today, Lin Fan will be your master. I have told you about Master Lin's skills before. Follow him and learn from him. Don't lose your father's face as a fifth-level fitter. Do you understand?"
The director gave an explanation to Chen Tao and said, "Okay, Lin Fan, Chen Tao will leave it to you."
After saying that, the director patted Chen Tao on the shoulder and went out.
"Chen Tao, right? Come here, I will explain something to you." Lin Fan said.
In fact, the work in the workshop can be said to be simple or difficult, as long as it relies on craftsmanship.
Simply put, the production process of a steel rolling mill is to turn steel ingots and billets into steel products.
The cross-sectional shapes of the steel produced are mainly divided into three categories:
Steel plates, steel pipes, and steel sections (including wire rods).
The entire workshop has three types of machines: blanking machine, plate and strip rolling mill, and steel profile machine.
There is no steel pipe rolling mill or rolling mill...
The types of work include not only fitters, but also blacksmiths, etc.
Domestic industrialization started too late, and many of them are still antiques that were passed down from the Republic of China period to the present.
There are not many steel rolling mills like foreign high-end machines.
Since relations with the furry bear country next door deteriorated, their technical directors have left one after another, and support to the industry has also stopped.
There is no way, many domestic factories have reused the previous machines.
For example, what Lin Fan is using now is a very old machine, a 60-inch two-roller (gun) plate mill surrounded by a four-roller double frame. It is simply called an S-type four-roller plate mill.
.
In the past, such machines were used to produce steel plates for tank armor, but they are too old.
Although it is still in use, the thickness of the steel plate can no longer meet the demand, and it is basically semi-obsolete.
But there is no way, there is no other machine that can be used, this kind of machine can only be used as it is.
Even so, such machines can only be used by level five workers or above.
"Lin Tao, come here, take a look first, and pass me some information by the way." Lin Fan ordered Chen Tao.
Lin Fan didn't intend to hide anything from Lin Tao, he would reach level 8 sooner or later.
Moreover, he also knew Mr. Chen from Workshop No. 9. He was an honest man. Judging from the director's attitude, he knew that Chen Tao's personality should be the same as Mr. Chen's.
Although there is a saying that the disciples of the church starve to death of the master.
Lin Fan doesn't have this worry. He is a senior worker. If the apprentices he trains can also become senior workers, then the factory will pay more attention to him.
Although Chen Tao didn't know what Lin Fan was doing, his father said at home that he would do whatever the master said.
Although there is no apprenticeship ceremony in the factory, the older generation attaches great importance to the status of master and apprentice.
My master looks very young, but this just shows how powerful he is.
You can become a fifth-level worker at such a young age, and I heard from the director that the master was praised by the factory some time ago.
He's a very powerful person.
If you study behind such a person, you will have a bright future.
Lin Tao brought up a steel ingot and handed it over respectfully.
Lin Fan took the materials, stuffed them into the feed port, looked at the machine that was running normally, and then turned to Chen Tao and said, "Look, the rolling of medium-thick plates is divided into three stages."
"What I'm doing now is the first stage, forming rolling."
"Forming rolling is also called shaping rolling, which is to roll medium-thick slabs along the length direction (i.e. longitudinally) for 1-4 passes."
"The purpose of forming rolling is to eliminate the influence of irregular shapes on the surface of the slab caused by cleaning."
“Achieve accurate billet thickness for the second stage of widening rolling, and end scalloping to reduce barreling during cross rolling.”
"To ensure the flatness of the steel plate, in addition to taking various necessary measures to ensure the shape of the plate, each steel plate with a thickness of less than 40mm needs to be heat straightened..."
"To put it simply, this is the reason why the quality and yield rate of the final steel plate are very high."
After explaining the first step, Lin Fan smiled and continued: "Chen Tao, how are you? Do you understand me?"
Chen Tao scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Something is not clear."
Lin Fan smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, it's just your first contact. I will explain it to you slowly in the future. Today I will give you an overview. Remember to study hard, okay?"
"Master Lin, I understand."
Lin Fan continued: "The operation of steel rolling is no joke. When operating in the future, you must always pay attention to whether the machine is running normally. You must check the machine every time you operate it. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, it will be difficult to ensure safety. Our factory is not without faults due to machine operation.
Some people were injured due to mistakes, and some even had accidents due to operating errors.”
Every step of the manual operation is very important and cannot be done at the expense of small things, otherwise danger may easily occur.
Due to the lack of machinery, most operations are performed manually, so accidents are inevitable.
The rules and regulations in the factory are very clear, and every worker must ensure his or her own safety when performing operations.
Machines are important, but workers' lives are more important.
Jia Dongxu of the Jia family in the courtyard was caught in the machine due to improper operation and lost his life.
"I remember, Master Lin."
"Just remember. I'll tell you about the next two stages. You don't need to remember too much. Today is the first day. It's mainly about getting familiar with the main work content of our fitters. I'll bring my notes over tomorrow.
, you remember to memorize it carefully after you copy it all down, and I will teach you other things after you memorize it all."
"Thank you, Master Lin, thank you, Master Lin."
Chen Tao kept bowing to Lin Fan and kept saying words of thanks.
There are too few masters like Lin Fan. Chen Tao still remembers what his father told him last night, that the master will do whatever he says.
When Lao Chentou was working with his master, he spent the first year doing odd jobs and didn't learn any skills. It was only in the second year that his master began to teach him techniques.
I studied with my master for several years before reaching level two.
Therefore, Chen Tao was very moved by Lin Fan's teachings.
"Okay, I am your master, and these are what I should do. As long as you study hard, I believe you will soon reach the level of a first-level fitter." Lin Fan patted Chen Tao on the shoulder, and then continued to teach.
After Lin Fan finished speaking, he felt a little thirsty. This was his first time taking care of a disciple, so he couldn't help but talk too much.
"Chen Tao, go to my work station and bring me my cup."
Chen Tao responded and handed over an enamel jar: "Master Lin, here it is."
After taking a sip of water, he felt much better. After a pause, Lin Fan continued.
"What I just talked about is the second stage, and the third stage is the finishing rolling stage."
"Finish rolling is to turn the slab 90 degrees after widening rolling."
"Stop rolling along the longitudinal direction of the slab until a regular medium thickness is rolled..."
"The tasks at this stage are quality control and rolling extension."
"Then we can obtain medium-thick plates with high plate thickness accuracy, small differences between the same plates, good flatness and good comprehensiveness."
"These are our usual work contents."
"You watch what I do next."
"Remember, read more, listen more, learn more, think more, and do more."
"What you have to do in the future: think of it when you see it, do it when you think of it, then you can start teaching."
Next, the two of them were busy teaching and learning with all their heart.
With Chen Tao's help, Lin Fan no longer has to do the heavy work of moving steel plates and billets, and the work becomes much easier.
Chen Tao can also perform some simple tasks. With Lin Fan's guidance, Chen Tao is also smart and can learn quickly.
Before I knew it, the day had passed and it was almost time to get off work.
After looking at his watch, Lin Fan wiped his sweat and said, "Okay, let's pack up and get ready to get off work."
"Chen Tao, your talent is very good. I believe you don't have to wait until you have completed your three-year apprenticeship to become a regular worker."
"Once you learn how to be a fitter, you will still be able to pass the test as a junior fitter."
"And you still take your father's position. I will talk to the director then. Although it cannot be graded, there should be no problem in increasing your salary by one or two yuan every month."
"Good seedlings should be well cultivated. I believe the director will support them."
Chen Tao said gratefully: "Master, I really don't know how to thank you. It's a great thing to learn your skills. And I don't have a partner yet. I don't need to do anything at home, and my current salary can support myself."
Already."
"Okay, I am your master, so there is no need to say thank you."
Lin Fan said: "After dinner, go back and have a good rest. How can anyone still dislike the low salary? Steel rolling is a manual job, and we will continue to do it tomorrow."
"Master, why don't you come to my house for dinner tonight? I'll ask my mother to make a good meal for you and have a nice drink."
Chen Tao was very grateful to Lin Fan for his impartial teaching.
When a man meets a master of this caliber, he must show his filial piety and establish a relationship with him.
You must know that the masters of this era are not comparable to the cats and dogs in future generations who can be called "teachers".
The current master can really be said to be a teacher once and a father forever.
If the land wants to learn something, it must be respectful and work diligently.
It can’t just be a three-minute job, work for nothing for a year or two, get no wages, or don’t teach you and let you learn on your own.
If the master likes you, he will teach you a few tricks, and you should be grateful.
If you dare to be lazy and refuse to work, the master will drive you away in a few days.
Apprentices generally have the obligation to provide for their masters until they die, and they really treat them like their fathers.
Of course, there are also some masters with bad conduct who treat their apprentices like animals and refuse to teach them any real skills for several years in a row. There are also many who turn against each other and become enemies.
Lin Fan came through time, and he didn't have to rely on this craft for the rest of his life, so he would do his best to teach people.
This was only done after knowing Chen Tao. If he met someone who didn't understand him or was a white-eyed wolf, Lin Fan wouldn't have the kindness to do so.
"You're drinking, you're spending money, how much is your salary now? It's just your first day at work."
Lin Fan directly rejected Chen Tao's proposal: "You, just learn my skills by then. I don't want to do this here."
"Oh, by the way, you don't have a partner, and you don't have anywhere to spend your money. Do you want me to introduce you to someone? Look at Liu Yuhua from our workshop. He has a good figure. He is good at raising children."
Chen Tao was stunned. He remembered that his master had no one, so he was thinking of introducing him to him, and he suddenly talked about introducing someone to him.
"Master, who is Liu Yuhua?"
As soon as Lin Fan heard the nature of the introduction, it turned out that he felt like this when introducing someone to someone. Oops, not bad. He smiled and said: "Hey, didn't you see it today? The one across the aisle from your master is us.
The daughter of Fatty Liu from the workshop."
"Both father and daughter are workers in our workshop, and their monthly salary is more than 70 yuan. Moreover, Liu Yuhua is an only child. If you marry her, your life will not be easy."
A figure immediately appeared in Chen Tao's mind, with narrow eyes and a tall figure, weighing almost two hundred pounds.
He didn't expect the salary to be so high. If there were two workers in a family, their lives would be very easy.
But when he thought of Liu Yuhua's appearance, he shuddered and said, "Master, forget it, forget it, I just went to work, so I don't have this idea for the time being."
After saying that, he quickly took his things and slipped away.
Lin Fa looked at Chen Tao's embarrassed back in a funny way, with a 'fatherly' smile on his face, and said in a low voice: "You said that this child clearly showed interest and was also shy. Don't worry, my
Good disciple, I will leave all this to the master. I will definitely help you marry Liu Yuhua home when the time comes. I never thought that I, Lin Fan, would still be one month old."
