2016年11月15日周二下午3:00，中南大学材料学院青年科协联合院研究生会举办的青年学术沙龙第189场在化学楼210顺利举行，本次学术沙龙的主讲人为Prof. Hua-Tay Lin，材料科学与工程学院梁叔全、郑峰教授等师生到场参加。

报告会题目为“Mechanical Reliability Assessment of Silicon Nitride Components”。Hua-Tay Lin教授首先谈到结构陶瓷通过控制微观结构和组成，可以用来设计克服自身固有的脆性。先进的氮化硅陶瓷则能够推进电力和运输系统的高效涡轮系统，包括燃气涡轮和微型燃气轮机。然后，介绍了自己带领的广东创新和创业研究团队的主要研究项目，包括氮化硅电力电子基板（现在处于商业化的发展阶段），氮化硅喷嘴，氮化硅陶瓷切割工具等。最后，总结了氮化硅陶瓷的应用领域，包括喷嘴，刀具，轴承球，而在在LED组件中，可以替代氧化铝和氮化铝，使器件达到高亮度、稳定、寿命长的要求，在人体关节材质中，未来可以替代氧化锆等。报告会最后，Hua-Tay Lin教授与在场师生进行了热切的交流讨论，细心回答了大家提出的问题，并且结合自身经验，对大家如何撰写科研论文和投稿给予宝贵的建议，全场掌声热裂，气氛十分活跃。
