Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Corrosion is a critical factor that affects the service performance of materials, particularly in the fields of aerospace, biomedicine, marine engineering, and energy equipment. The corrosion behavior of advanced materials such as magnesium, titanium, and high-entropy alloys directly impacts the structural safety and service life of components. Although these alloys possess excellent mechanical properties and functional characteristics, their corrosion mechanisms in complex environments (e.g., marine atmosphere, high-temperature/pressure conditions, biological fluids) are associated with numerous challenges. Thus, a thorough understanding of corrosion processes and efficient corrosion protection technologies is vital for enhancing the reliability of materials, extending their service life, reducing operational costs, and preventing catastrophic events caused by corrosion.
This Special Issue aims to consolidate recent findings related to the corrosion behavior and mechanisms of advanced alloy materials (e.g., magnesium alloys, titanium alloys, high-entropy alloys), highlight novel protection strategies (e.g., surface modification, corrosion inhibitors, coating technologies), and provide a platform for the dissemination of recent research findings. We welcome the submission of original papers and critical reviews.
The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Fundamental corrosion theories;
- Localized corrosion mechanisms;
- Multi-scale interfacial reactions;
- Material–environment interaction;
- Advanced characterization techniques;
- Cutting-edge protection technologies;
- Computational modeling and data-driven research.

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.
