Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Marine engineering equipment is a "heavy weapon" in the process of cognizing, exploiting, utilizing, and protecting the ocean, as well as the "backbone" supporting various ocean-related endeavors such as ocean scientific research, resource development, and safety assurance. However, seawater is a good conductor of electricity, high in salt and oxygen, which leads to a very high corrosion rate of metal-based marine engineering equipment and facilities. At the same time, low-frequency alternating stress and the impact force generated by waves, currents, and tides, as well as marine organisms and their metabolic products, all have a direct or indirect accelerating effect on the corrosion damage process. High-performance protective materials are key to ensuring the manufacturing, development, and long-term high-reliability operation of high-end marine engineering equipment.
This special Issue aims to provide an overview of the latest innovations related to metal corrosion and protective materials in the marine environment. This Special Issue focuses on experimental, numerical, and analytical studies on the metal corrosion mechanism, advanced corrosion resistance materials, and their applications.

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. 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.
