Nov. 24,2004, Prof. Ke Jun received Hsun Lee Achievement Award (2003), and Shi Changxu received Hsun Lee Achievement Award (2004).
Prof. Ke Jun has been devoted to the research of phase variation in alloy for several decades. His original discovery of bainite shear mechanisms in steel, still holds as the primary theory of bainite formation mechanisms among the scholars of the , the , , and . In the 1950s, he was the first to observe blocking action on the growth of atomic cluster martensite by matrix deformation in the formation of martensite of steel. Ke Jun has systematically studied the formation of butterfly-shaped martensite resulting from atomic clusters of Fe-Ni-V-C steel. He developed martensite phase variation dynamics, and directed the research of the action mechanisms of trace boron in steel. He led and participated in the research of the archaeological metallurgical history of . Ke Jun introduced the idea that the invention and development of ~s pig iron technology contributed to the technological advancement of and the world~s civilization.
Prof. Shi Changxu is regarded as a pioneer in the field of supper-alloys in . He led the development of the first generation of cast hollow turbine blades. Shi presided over the creation of a national science and technology development planning for the country concerning metallurgical material, material science, and other new materials. He has served as a researcher and honorary director of the and was a specially invited advisor of the National Natural Science Fund Committee. He was also vice-president of the China Academy of Engineering and was elected as an academician to that academy in 1994. The following year in 1995, he became an academician of the Third World Academy of Science.
