Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The corrosion of metals and alloys remains one of the most persistent challenges affecting a wide range of sectors, including infrastructure, energy, transportation, and manufacturing. The degradation of metallic materials leads not only to significant economic losses but also to safety hazards and environmental concerns. Understanding corrosion mechanisms and developing efficient, sustainable protection strategies is therefore essential for advancing modern technologies and ensuring the long-term reliability of engineered systems.
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue on “Corrosion Mitigation and Protection of Metals and Alloys,” which seeks to showcase the latest research developments and innovative solutions in this critical field.
This Special Issue aims to highlight recent advances in corrosion science, mitigation strategies, and protective technologies that enhance the performance and durability of metallic materials. It aligns with the scope of Materials, which covers the design, characterization, processing, and application of advanced materials. Contributions exploring corrosion mechanisms, electrochemical behavior, advanced coatings, inhibitors, modeling, and environmentally friendly protection methods are particularly encouraged. The Special Issue seeks to bridge fundamental understanding with practical engineering solutions to support sustainable material design and long-term performance.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and review papers are welcome. Research areas may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Corrosion mechanisms and electrochemical analysis;
- Protective coatings and surface engineering;
- Green and sustainable corrosion inhibitors;
- Nanomaterials for corrosion protection;
- High-temperature or marine corrosion;
- Modeling, simulation, and predictive approaches;
- Smart/self-healing protective systems;
- Corrosion behavior in harsh or industrial environments.
We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions.
Dr. Nadia Arrousse

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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
