Abstract

In response to the increasing importance of sustainable engineering solutions, this review focuses on evaluating the sustainability of diferent coating materials to solve erosion problems on the fan blades of a cooling tower and wind turbine. This review focuses on the types of erosion wear namely on the leading edge of cooling towers and wind turbines (LECT/WT) which will prioritise on the leading edge protection (LEP) on the fan blades used in various applications. This review will highlight recent works done on the design and development of high-efciency cooling towers. The investigation on erosion resistant coating materials will also be reviewed since there are numerous claims made that certain coating material happen to provide enhanced resistance to erosion wear on LECT/WT. We reviewed all possible aspects of coating material on LECT/WT using diferent chemical composition namely to provide an optimum wear resistance to cast iron. In summary, there is no any specifc coating material than can provide an infnite life span of a fan blade used in cooling towers or wind turbines. Lastly, we highlighted crucial future research on the aforesaid topic which may open new research pathways in the future. The ‘hunt’ for the so called ‘ultimate’ coating material to cast iron used in the LECT/WT is yet to be discovered.
