Since joining the workforce, Gong Bin has been deeply rooted in the production frontlines of rare earth permanent magnet materials. With a strong sense of responsibility and mission, he has dedicated himself wholeheartedly to his work, leveraging his professional expertise, innovative vision, and commitment to safeguard the stable operations of the enterprise.
**Strengthening Party Building and Fulfilling Party Member Duties** As the Party branch secretary of the Operations Management Department (Safety and Environmental Protection Department) at China Northern Rare Earth Magnetic Materials Company, Gong Bin has consistently centered his Party-building efforts on "grounding theory in practice and translating Party requirements into actionable measures." Recognizing that political theory learning must align with practical work, he utilizes weekly morning meetings to deliver lectures on Party innovation theories, integrating case studies of workshop process optimization and exemplary Party member deeds to make theoretical learning tangible and relatable.
To enhance the Party branch’s role as a stronghold, Gong spearheaded improvements to the branch’s learning mechanisms, encouraging members to connect their individual work with industrial development and national needs. In tackling urgent production challenges, he promptly forms "task forces," demonstrating the mission-driven spirit of Party members in the new era by leading from the front.
**Driving Production Optimization and Industry Innovation** Gong Bin has achieved multiple breakthroughs in production optimization and core technical indicators. To refine columnar crystal spacing (fine crystallization), he conducted over 100 experiments in three months, delving into the impact of casting parameters on crystallization. His efforts successfully identified the optimal combination of casting temperature, speed, and alloy flow, while introducing advanced laser polishing and automated surface treatment for copper rollers, significantly improving product microstructure quality.
In yield enhancement, he systematically analyzed the entire production process, adjusting smelting power curves and optimizing crucible usage and slag removal methods to boost alloy product yields. Addressing leakage rate issues, he led his team in identifying structural flaws in furnace equipment and proposing solutions. Additionally, he developed five new smelting processes tailored to customer needs and product characteristics, expanding the company’s product portfolio and market competitiveness.
**Leading Innovation and Technological Breakthroughs** Gong Bin remains at the forefront of industry innovation. He actively participates in research projects such as the "Digital and Intelligent Application in NdFeB Rapid-Solidification Alloy Production," driving the sector toward smart manufacturing. In an industry where automation rates are typically low, he collaborated across teams to develop China’s first automated batching line for NdFeB production after six months of R&D, achieving a leap from 10% to 90% automation. This reduced labor intensity by over 70% and improved efficiency by 200%, revolutionizing traditional manual batching practices.
For copper roller surface treatment—a critical production step—he pioneered laser technology through close collaboration with specialized manufacturers. Continuous parameter optimization has significantly enhanced surface uniformity and roughness control, with ongoing refinements to the technology.
**Mentoring the Next Generation of Talent** As a chief skills master, Gong Bin plays a pivotal role in team development and talent cultivation. His master studio brings together 16 multidisciplinary experts, including senior engineers and technicians, to resolve over 50 production bottlenecks through regular workshops and technical exchanges. In 2024, he designed a comprehensive training program, creating high-quality course materials covering production processes, equipment operation, and quality control to upskill employees.
Through mentorship initiatives, he tailors individualized training plans, combining theory, hands-on practice, and case studies to accelerate protégés’ growth. Moving forward, Gong aims to further industry innovation by advancing NdFeB production digitization and establishing laser-treated copper rollers as an industry standard. His master studio will continue incubating core technological achievements, contributing to high-quality industrial development.
