Coat of Armour
Official Question Material
Prep: 30-40 Seconds

Typically, the outer layer erodes during operation and the inner layers can become detached. Although the lifespan of a turbine is theoretically 25 years, current medium sized systems typically require extensive maintenance at about 10 years due to blade deterioration.
