Geo-coat aims to develop specialised corrosion- and erosion- resistant coatings optimized for operation in aggressive Geothermal environments. High Entropy Alloys (HEAs) and Ceramic/Metal mixtures (Cermets), to be applied through thermal powder coating techniques (primarily high velocity forms of HVOF / Laser cladding) are specially developed to provide the required bond strength, hardness and density for the challenging geothermal applications. It aims to design the new high performance coatings to resist each of the specified threats or combinations of threat, as experimentally derived at key failure points within geothermal runs, and to apply them only to the affected components. This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme. Grant agreement 764086.
