Slurry erosion of hydro-turbine parts in water driven power plants is an extreme issue everywhere. As the water stream from slopes, stone and sand particles are conveyed alongside it and there is unexpected increment in strong molecule fixation in water during the rainstorm season which can notwithstanding bring hydro power plants to stop, prompting huge financial misfortunes. Alumina coating was deposited by using flame spraying process. The behaviour of the coating was determined by conducting a slurry erosion testing. The weight reduction of the coatings was analysed and further failure modes were analysed using SEM-EDS. The alumina coatings showed a better performance in resisting the slurry erosion.
