Microstructure, Mechanical and Tribological Properties of Alloys
This special issue belongs to the section “Corrosion, Wear and Erosion“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The microstructure of a material is the key to its mechanical and wear properties. The goal of this Special Issue on Microstructure, Mechanical and Tribological Properties of Alloys is to bring together information on the latest advances, new technologies and comprehensive mechanism analysis of microstructure characterization and alloys, seeking to provide guidance and reference for further research in related fields.
Topics exploring the use of zirconium for nuclear power, composites, intermetallic compounds and functional materials will be included. Additionally, topics related to the design of advanced metals and alloys, additive/subtractive manufacturing, surface modification, material simulation and calculation, finite element modeling, machine learning, simulation and experiments of mechanical properties characterization are also included. Full papers, short communication and reviews are welcome.
We look forward to receiving your contributions!

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.
