Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Among the latest research achievements in multifunctional coatings is the study of wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant coatings, which are one of the most valuable coatings research directions in the field of materials, science, and engineering. Current applications range from cutting tools, machining technology, automotive, and aerospace. Under harsh environmental conditions, the theory, experimentation, and application of wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant coatings are in great demand.

We would like to invite you to submit your latest research results to this Special Issue entitled “Wear-Resistance and Corrosion-Resistance Coatings, 2nd Edition”. The properties of a surface are determined by the material used to prepare the coating and the method and technique used to treat it; therefore, coating technology can be considered an advanced surface treatment. The topics of interest for this Special Issue are advanced surface treatment technologies and green coating materials. We hope that the studies contributing to this Special Issue will evaluate not only the effects of surface coating technology on the physical and mechanical properties of coatings but also the effects of friction mechanisms and environmental friendliness.

As a part of this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

  • Coating material and preparation technology;
  • The forming mechanism of coatings;
  • Tribological behavior;
  • The effect of surface treatment on wear resistance;
  • The effect of surface treatment on corrosion resistance;
  • The effect of surface treatment on hardness;
  • Green paint technology.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

To address the performance degradation of conventional rare-earth silicate environmental barrier coatings (EBCs) in high-temperature water-oxygen environments, this study developed a novel high-entropy EBC system. The coating with a composition of (Yb1/5Y1/5Lu1/5Er1/5Ho1/5)2Si2O7/Si/SiC was prepared via atmospheric plasma spraying. Thermal cycling corrosion tests were conducted at 1400 °C under a 90% H2O–10% O2 atmosphere. Results show that after heat treatment, the monosilicate phase content decreased, and the structure stabilized. The coating surface exhibited a ridge-like morphology with pits and microcracks after corrosion. A porous corrosion layer formed at the edges, and the SiO2 layer thickness increased parabolically from 2.75 μm after 100 cycles to 5.65 μm after 300 cycles. The coating demonstrated excellent corrosion resistance, with degradation initiated by surface thermochemical corrosion, leading to corrosion layer formation and SiO2 accumulation. This study provides important insights for developing long-life EBCs for aero-engine applications. Full article
