Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on the corrosion behavior of metals and alloys in diverse service environments (e.g., marine, industrial, atmospheric, and high-temperature conditions) and explores advanced protection strategies. Corrosion remains a critical challenge, leading to material degradation, economic losses, and safety risks. We invite contributions addressing mechanisms, monitoring techniques, predictive modeling, and innovative protection methods (e.g., coatings, inhibitors, cathodic protection, and material design).
Topics of Interest include the following themes:
- Corrosion mechanisms under harsh or dynamic conditions;
- Novel anti-corrosion materials and surface treatments;
- In situ monitoring and AI-driven corrosion prediction;
- Case studies on corrosion failure and mitigation in industries;
- Sustainable and eco-friendly protection technologies.

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. Metals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
