Abstract: Fluid handling equipment such as propellers, impellers, pumps, and pumps in warships and submarines all suffer from flow-based erosion-corrosion concerns. While numerous coating materials are available to counteract erosion corrosion damage in the aforesaid components, iron-based amorphous coatings are thought to be more effective. This paper concentrates on the selection of the coating material for AISI 304L SS. In this investigation, WC-10Co-4Cr coating was deposited on stainless steel substrate using MCDM techniques to select the best alternative. Fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) is the technique applied to calculate the weights of criteria, and preference ranking organisation method for enrichment evaluation (PROMETHEE II) is utilised for ranking the alternatives.

Keywords: corrosion; fuzzy analytic hierarchy process; analytic hierarchy process; AHP; MCDM; PROMETHEE; erosion; criteria weight; AISI 304L SS; corrosion; coating material; alternatives.
