High Temperature Corrosion of the Structural Materials and Degradation of Coatings in Harsh Conditions

Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to inform you that MDPI’s Materials journal is announcing a Special Issue related to high temperature corrosion of the structural materials and degradation of coatings in harsh conditions. The problem of high temperature corrosion has been well known for years. There is no development of society without high temperature, as high temperature means better efficiency and higher performance; however, materials based on Fe, Ni, TiAl metal matrix fabricated in a standard way or by 3D technology possesses limitations. Therefore, it is extremely important to validate steels and alloys against high temperature applications. In order to prevent corrosion degradation and oxidation processes most frequently, protective coatings are needed to serve an extended lifetime for structural materials. I am inviting you to submit the very latest work on the subject, where high temperature corrosion steels alloy is a key subject of the research.

This Special Issue offers a timely and authoritative opportunity to present recent progress in the field of high temperature corrosion of the structural materials and degradation of coatings in harsh conditions. Furthermore, the Special Issue is expected to highlight exciting challenges and future applications of the new coating systems and 3D materials resistance against high temperature exposures in different atmospheres.

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.
