Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The oxidation and corrosion behaviour of alloys limits the performance and lives of engineering components and will remain crucial in the selection of alloys for applications where these properties are pivotal. Apart from well-established applications and platforms, new technologies that require the use of alloys in harsher environments are being developed by the day. An example is in fuel cell systems where metallic components are exposed to very aggressive dual-atmosphere conditions, yet these alloys must perform optimally and meet the required service lives. This calls for more advanced and detailed research works into the oxidation and corrosion of alloys as it is imperative to further the understanding of the degradation behaviour of alloys and their coatings to be able to predict the lives of metallic components and develop unique solutions well-suited for their use in different applications.
This Special Issue welcomes the submission of research and review articles on the oxidation and corrosion behaviour of alloys. The topics of interest include:
- High-temperature oxidation;
- Atmospheric corrosion;
- Dual-atmosphere corrosion;
- Breakaway corrosion;
- Corrosion protection treatments and coatings;
- Effect of deformation and stress on oxidation and corrosion.

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. Crystals 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.
