Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In manufacturing, it has been observed that lots of problems are associated with the wear and corrosion of parts, which becomes the main reason for the failure of the complete product. The manufacturing industry needs the attention of researchers to focus on the development of functionally graded materials which can sustain high temperatures and high wear and corrosion. The design of material leads to the modification of their local properties according to their engineering application. Coating is one of the suitable techniques to improve the wear, corrosion and overall life of the component. In addition to it, the methods such as additive layer coatings, friction stir coating, friction stir layer deposition and functionally graded materials are some alternative options to overcome the defects such as high wear and corrosion of the mating parts of the automobile and to improve the mechanical and microstructural properties. Plastic deformation techniques such as severe plastic deformation (SPD) and friction stir processing (FSP) are some key parameters to enhance the overall performance of the material against the wear, tear and corrosion behaviour of the material. The dynamic recrystelization process and lattice dislocation phenomenon of the SPD and FSP process refine the grains and increases the larger number of grain boundaries, hence improving the hardness and strength also. This Special Issue of Coatings is focused on such coating techniques and their microstructural, mechanical, wear, corrosion and thermal characterization.
Therefore, we are inviting the submission of full-length original articles and reviews for this Special Issue of Coatings, titled “Research Progress of Metals and Alloys by thermal layering and deposition”, aiming to cover the scientific knowledge in this area and discuss topics of interest to readers.
In particular, the topics of interest includes but are not limited to:
- Coating Materials;
- Wear- and corrosion-resistant coating;
- Friction stir coatings;
- Composite coating;
- Friction stir deposition;
- Nano-structured coatings;
- Micro-structured coatings;
