Design, Materials and Processing for the Summer Olympic Torches

Abstract:

Olympic torches are the fantastic combination of successful design, appropriate materials and optimum processing which are the basic concept concepts in the major of Materials science and engineering. London Olympic torch was designed to be a three-sided pyramidal in shape, reflecting the features of the Olympic host country and the implication of designers. The material of Olympic torch selected aluminum alloys with a lightweight, high-strength, low thermal conductivity and environmentally friendly recycle; if low weight and high strength are key criteria for the torch, perhaps we can look forward to the incorporation of grapheme in the 2016 Olympic Games torch. The processing of Olympic torch involved laser cutting for 8000 holes and physical vapor deposition for gold-colored titanium nitride film on the surface of the aluminum plates, which embodied the best manufacturing route and the host country's technological capabilities.
