Surface treatment technologies present an effective way of combating degradation of materials. The causes of degradation can be phenomenon such as wear, corrosion and oxidation. Surface treatment offers a method of protecting the base material without sacrificing its bulk properties. Among various surface modifications technologies, thermal spraying has emerged as an important tool for achieving tailor made engineering surfaces by depositing coatings on surfaces. In the present investigation, substrates prepared from mild steel are coated with TiO2 by plasma spraying and evaluated for resistance to slurry erosion. TiO2 powders with particle size of about 50µm was used and uniform coatings of thicknesses 100μm was obtained. Slurry erosive wear tests were conducted in 3.5% NaCl solution with sand as erodent. The resistance of coated specimen for slurry erosion were found to be higher than the uncoated substrates for identical test conditions.
