Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The present time brings ever-increasing demands for quality and functionality of components also in industry. Surface integrity is a broad term that includes a wide range of material properties (such as stress states, microstructure, surface quality, surface resistance, mechanical properties of a material, etc.). Thorough knowledge of the mentioned properties of materials and their surfaces after manufacturing is one of the important prerequisites for guaranteeing the quality of the product. Quality requirements are justified for each product, but especially where there are increased demands on functional properties, e.g., automotive, aerospace, bearing industries, and medical, too. Based on these facts and also efforts for continuous progress, it is necessary to look for such methods of evaluation and analysis of materials that will quickly and effectively determine the current state of materials and surfaces of components after production.
The focus of this Special Issue is therefore primarily on (but not limited to) non-destructive methods for the evaluation and analysis of materials, their surfaces and functional and utility properties using the various technologies used in the manufacturing process.
We will be honoured if you contribute to this issue with your contribution and thus contribute to new approaches to improving production processes, materials and quality of products for quality devices and constructions.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
