Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid evolution of electric vehicles (EVs) and high-efficiency electric motors has pushed the scientific interest in mechanical and corrosion performances of advanced structural and functional materials. Aluminium alloys are widely used for battery housings, lightweight structural components; in parallel, magnetic materials, including soft magnetic alloys and permanent magnets, represent the core of the traction motors and power-electronic components.
In the EV environments, these materials are exposed to mechanical stresses, cyclic loadings, humidity and corrosive agents, temperature variations. Understanding their mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and degradation mechanisms is essential to guarantee long-term efficiency.
This Special Issue is focused on mechanical properties, corrosion behaviours, surface behaviours and interfacial interactions of aluminium alloys and/or magnetic materials behaviour, used in electric mobility. Studies involving the materials behaviours of aluminium alloys and magnetic alloys alone or during their interactions are welcome, focusing on microstructural analysis, mechanical properties, magnetic properties or environmental testing.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Mechanical properties and fracture behaviour of aluminium alloys and magnetic materials;
- Corrosion mechanisms and environmental degradation;
- Degradation of magnetic materials;
- Microstructural evolutions and effects on mechanical or corrosion performances;
- Compatibility and performances of aluminium and magnetic components;
- Magnetic Characterizations of Magnetic Materials;
- Effect of magnetic field on Aluminium alloys;
- Coatings on Magnetic Materials.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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. Coatings is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2600 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.
