Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Component damage is a common phenomenon in mechanical system failures, primarily caused by wear, fatigue, deformation, and corrosion. These factors, acting individually or in combination, can lead to degradation of material properties, dimensional changes, or structural damage, ultimately impairing equipment functionality. Among these, wear and corrosion are the most predominant forms. Advanced surface engineering technologies refer to a category of techniques that enhance material properties through physical, chemical, mechanical, or other means of surface treatment or modification. This type of technology goes beyond simply applying a layer; it delves into the microstructure of the material's surface, altering its composition, structure, or properties, enabling the material to operate stably even in extreme environments or demanding scenarios.
We believe that the issue will provide a wonderful chance for authors to promote their latest scientific research achievements and update the knowledge base of this research field.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. Lubricants 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.
