Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Typical strategies of surface engineering for the corrosion and wear resistance of metallic materials focus on the development of coatings, surface modification, and the exploration of matrix compositions, microstructures, and reinforcements. This Special Issue will include reviews, investigations, and innovations of the mechanical, corrosion, and wear properties of metallic materials (steels, aluminum, titanium, magnesium, etc.) or coatings. Studies in advanced surface processing (additive manufacturing processes, plasma electrolytic oxidation, laser and plasma processing, thermal spray, PVD, CVD, etc.) and characterization techniques (electron backscattered diffraction, transmission electron microscope, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, electrochemical measurements, etc.), corrosion and wear theories, mathematical model and simulation, and the relationship between processing, microstructures, and properties are highly encouraged. Research related to durability in demanding environmental conditions required by current applications ranging from marine, aerospace, automobile, energy and chemical industries to biomedical technologies is also welcome.

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.
