China Vitae

Biography

Pan Jiluan, male, Han nationality, is a native of Ruichang, Jiangxi Province. He graduated from Tsinghua University in 1948 and is considered a welding engineering expert.

Pan is noted for his participation in the founding of the first batch of a welding specialty among China's colleges and universities. In the 1950s, he developed plate electroslag welding and heavy hammer forging module build-up welding. The next decade, he demonstrated how argon arc welding could be applied to nuclear reactor manufacturing. He then completed the welding works of the first set of nuclear reactors independently built in the country.

After this accomplishment, Pan developed the first electronic beam welder and continued studies of the mechanism of the heat crack of jointing. In the 1970s, he examined electric arc sensors and established dynamic and static physical and mathematical model of electric arc sensors. He also successfully developed the QH-ARC welding electric arc control method. Pan later took the lead in proposing the concept about power source's multi-fold eternal characteristics, abrupt ascending external characteristics, and exploring new channels for controlling welding electric arcs and welding automation.

In 1980, he was elected as an academician to the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
