The wear of the flow components in the turbine,such as the turbine blades,is one of the important factors affecting the performance and life of the turbine.In order to overcome the cavitation and erosion wear damage of turbine blades in the working process,solve the problems of low efficiency and short life caused by the loss of metal on the surface of turbine blades,and improve the wear resistance of turbine blades,research-ers have adopted different methods,including surface coating technology.In this paper,the wear mechanism of turbine blades and the related research of diamond coating are re-viewed,and the application of diamond coating on turbine blades is prospected.
