There is huge loss due to erosive wear of components like turbine blades and underwater components. It is a challenge to combat the erosion of steels and other materials. Erosion behavior of the following materials can be measured in this lab by weight loss measurement after regular interval of time

1. Coated surface

2. Surface modified materials

3. Heat treated materials
