Erosion remains one of the most persistent failure mechanisms in aerospace, energy, flow control and wider industrial applications. From solid particle impact in slurry systems to water droplet erosion on turbine blades, material loss can develop gradually before resulting in reduced efficiency, leakage or unplanned maintenance. An Engineer’s Guide to Erosion outlines the different forms erosion can take, the components most at risk and the underlying mechanisms engineers need to understand when specifying materials and surface treatments .
The guide also examines the limitations of commonly used protective coatings and explains the characteristics required to withstand erosive environments over the long term. It is intended as a practical technical overview for engineers evaluating coating performance, durability and sustainability in demanding service conditions. Download the guide to gain a clearer understanding of erosion mechanisms and the considerations involved in selecting effective surface protection.
