Studies on Electrochemical Corrosion and Protection in Metals and Alloys

Dear Colleagues,

In everyday life, metals are used extensively in infrastructure, transportation, household appliances, and electronic devices. However, these metals and alloys are often exposed to moisture, salt, and pollutants, which can accelerate corrosion. The understanding of electrochemical processes and the implementation of protective measures are essential for extending the service life of metals and alloys in various environments. Electrochemical methods play a crucial role in helping us to understand, monitor, and control corrosion processes. Based on this, scientists can predict corrosion rates, identify areas at risk, and develop effective protection strategies. Techniques such as electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, potentiodynamic polarization, and open-circuit potential measurements are often used to investigate corrosion mechanisms and evaluate protective coatings or inhibitors. Therefore, this Special Issue focuses on scientific papers on the electrochemical corrosion of metals and alloys in different environments, electrochemical methods for monitoring the corrosion rate of metallic materials, and the application of different methods for corrosion protection in aggressive environments.

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. 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.
