Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Thermal barrier coating (TBC) systems are widely used in gas turbine engines, among others, to protect the hot parts of the system. TBC systems are composed of a TBC, underlying substrates (super alloy), a BC (bond coat connecting the TBC and super alloy) and TGO (thermally grown oxide produced at the interface between the TBC and BC). The life cycle of TBCs is relatively short due to TGO growth, the thermal expansion ratio mismatch between the different layers and cycling mechanical and thermal loads. Therefore, fatigue and fracture analysis for TBC systems significantly improves their life cycle. Thus, an updated collection of methods in this field is critical.
This Special Issue’s scope includes: (1) application of film coating; (2) application of fatigue and fracture analysis technology; (3) experimental technology to confirm fatigue and fracture; and (4) optimization method for compensating for fatigue and fracture.
We believe that the methods collected in this Special Issue could have further applications in other fields and advance the current state of research in the area of TBCs.
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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
