NRDC's Melanie Kuhn Key Speaker at Ceramics Expo 2017

 

06/01/2017 - Melanie Kuhn, research group leader for Saint-Gobain High-Performance Refractories, was a key speaker at the Ceramics Expo recently at the I-X Center in Cleveland, Ohio.

Melanie presented her team's research on functional coatings for high-performance ceramics. The research goal is to achieve significant performance improvements for sintered silicon carbide ceramics under elevated temperature and humidity. These conditions are known to rapidly decay the performance of the otherwise stable material. Melanie’s team is centered at Saint-Gobain’s R&D facility at Northboro, Massachusetts, where they utilize the state-of-the-art labs to develop functional coatings for ceramics to be used in automotive, metallurgy, and energy applications.
