| Summary: | In the milestone of straggling to make water hydraulics more advantageous, the choice of coating polymer for water hydraulics valves plays an essential role in alleviating the impact of cavitation erosion and corrosion, and this is a critical task for designers. Fulfilling the appropriate selection, we conflicted properties that are vital for erosion and corrosion inhibitors, as well as the tribology in the sense of coefficient of friction. This article aimed to choose the best alternative polymer for coating on the selected substrate, that is, Cr<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>, Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>, T<sub>i2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>. By applying PROMETHEE (Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluations), the best polymer obtained with an analyzed performance attribute is Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) that comes up with higher outranking (0.5932052). A Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulation was conducted to identify the stronger bonding with the regards of the better cleave plane between Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and the selected substrate. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)/Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> cleaved in (010) plane was observed to be the strongest bond in terms of binding energy (3188 kJ/mol) suitable for further studies.
