Mapping liquid impact of materials in laboratory simulated wind turbine conditions. - MS4

Description The object of this work is to investigate how erosion-corrosion can affect the performance of steel and GRPE in raindrop erosion conditions.   The application is to wind turbine conditions.  Microscopy will be used to characterize the worn surfaces.  Erosion maps will be used to characterize the surfaces following exposure.  Key Objectives

  1. Erosion-corrosion maps2. A design tool for steel exposed to erosion-corrosion in rain drop erosion conditions.
