Abstract

Power take-off rods of steel are key components in wave energy converters. In harsh marine environments, they need to be protected from corrosion, biofouling, and wear. Protective coatings are sought for, and test and validation protocols for these coatings are needed. In this study, metallic coatings applied by laser cladding have been used as a case study for evaluation of corrosion test methods. Moreover, a biofouling strategy by scraping at different intervals has been performed at field test sites in Portugal and Sweden. The result of this project highlights the importance of well-designed protocols for testing and validation.
