Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
You are invited to contribute to a Special Issue on “High-Temperature Corrosion and Protection”. High temperatures are known to favor the kinetics of corrosion processes, including oxidation with gases or interaction with liquid phases (water, molten salts…). In this Special Issue, we will focus on how strategic materials can be protected from damage due to corrosion at high temperatures. The applications can be (without being restricted to):
- Energy conversion systems, including nuclear technologies
- Thermal shields for aerospatial applications
- Combustion chambers, including furnaces and reactors
The protection against corrosion covers various strategies. One way would be to establish an anticorrosive coating through various elaboration techniques (chemical vapor deposition, chemical treatments of the surface…). Another way would be to increase the heat dissipation from the surface in order to reduce its temperature of exposure (using active cooling technology, surface texturing in order to enhance radiative losses…). We are open to any technology that aims at reducing the degradation of materials in a corrosive environment.
You are more than welcome to share your work and the solutions you are proposing to significantly reduce the damage a material undergoes in these corrosive environments.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Corrosion and Materials Degradation is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1200 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- Reprint: MDPI Books provides the opportunity to republish successful Special Issues in book format, both online and in print.
