Advanced Materials and Technologies for Thermal Sprayed Coatings

Dear Colleagues,

In this Special Issue, we aim to publish scientific contributions on thermal spraying deposition methods addressing such aspects as feedstock manufacturing, coating deposition, post-treatment of sprayed coatings, microstructure characterization, and evaluation of properties.

We encourage the submission of research such that we can, through publication, disseminate original and innovative findings in the field of surface engineering related to thermal spraying methods covering the following topics:

• Advanced materials manufacturing as feedstock for thermal spraying;
• New and modern thermal spraying processes;
• Problems associated with thermal sprayed coatings;
• Thermal spraying process simulation;
• Characterization and evaluation of thermal spraying properties.

Scientific papers, engineering articles, communications, and reviews are all welcome for submission and potential publication in this Special Issue “Advanced Materials and Technologies for Thermal Sprayed Coatings”.

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.
