The torch of the Beijing Winter Olympics "flies", and Hunan engineers help research and development: the most glorious task

The Beijing Winter Olympics have attracted the world's attention, and the handheld torch used in this Winter Olympics - "Flying" has also attracted the attention of the world, which uses hydrogen as fuel, is the world's first set of high-pressure hydrogen storage torches, and achieves zero carbon emissions of the torch in the history of the Winter Olympics. The torch "Flying" is mainly divided into three parts: the outer streamer, the inner streamer and the hydrogen combustion device, the material of the high temperature coating part of the inner streamer replaces the German and Japanese high temperature coating materials, and this material is jointly developed by Shen Zaijun, deputy general manager and chief engineer of Foshan Special Porcelain New Material Co., Ltd., and Foshan Xi Porcelain New Material Co., Ltd.

Shen Zaijun is a native of Shaoyang, Hunan Province, on February 13, Xiaoxiang Morning News reporter got in touch with Shen Zaijun, mentioning this experience, he is still very excited, "from receiving the task last June, to last September to hand over all the materials, has been very nervous, until the opening ceremony to see the torch relay, I feel very at ease, but also very excited." ”

Shen Zaijun introduced that the high-temperature coating of the Olympic torch has a very important requirement in terms of function: there is no flame pattern. Since the combustion material used for the first time in this Olympic torch is hydrogen, as a shell high-temperature coating material, it is necessary to ensure that the material is stable and not deformed at a high temperature above 800 °C, "The high temperature coating of the Olympic torch has used high temperature coatings from Germany and Japan, but it is impossible to solve the problem of the flame pattern affecting the appearance effect after the flame combustion of the super 800 °C. Shen Zaijun said, "The high-temperature-resistant part of the Olympic torch is made of phase change energy storage ceramic-based nanomaterials as the main material, which is developed by two units of Foshan Xi Porcelain and Foshan Special Porcelain New Material Co., Ltd. after years of research and development, and we have adjusted the formula many times for this project." ”

On the evening of February 4, the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics made a stunning appearance, and on February 5, Shen Zaijun wrote in the circle of friends: "I have the honor to be one of the material suppliers for making torches and a participant in material research and development, which should be the most glorious task I have received in my life, and it is also the most beautiful and best gift given to our company by the great motherland." ”
