Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues
High-entropy alloys (HEAs) are multi-component systems based on the novel alloy design strategy of configurational entropy maximization. They are defined as single-phase or multiphase alloys consisting of at least five principal elements with their components in the range of 5~35 at. %. Over the past decade, they have been one of the hottest research topics in metallic materials. They exhibit superior mechanical properties, such as high strength, outstanding thermal stability, excellent resistances to wear, corrosion, and oxidation, and sometimes good ductility. Driven by the current state of knowledge of HEAs and their applications in the industrial requirements, there is still a tremendous demand for experimental, theoretical, and prediction research.
The scope of this Special Issue will serve as a forum for papers in the following branches:
- The alloying behaviors of various elements, including principal elements and trace elements.
- Recent advances on the understanding the deform mechanisms, especially the mechanisms responsible for the high strength of the alloys, good/poor ductility.
- The predication phase composition and the thermodynamics analysis of the HEAs.
- The design theory of novel HEAs.
- The performance of wear, corrosion, and oxidation, hot corrosion of the HEAs, and the underlying mechanisms responsible for the performance.
- The potential applications of the HEAs as structural materials, composite materials, and coatings.

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.
