Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Corrosion is a typical surface degradation mode, and it brings great threats to the safe service of metal structural components, as a result of the electrochemical corrosion, oxidation effect, and even the synergistic effect between corrosion and mechanical attack. Corrosion mechanisms and protection measures of various metallic materials have consistently been a major focus of research. However, traditional corrosion theories and protection technologies are not directly applicable to the metallic materials exposed to those harsh and multi-factor coupled environments, including the deep sea (with high pressure, low temperature, high salinity, microbial activity, and even severe erosion, sepecially in mining), the subsurface (with high temperature, high pressure, geological fluid corrosion), and the new energy field (hydrogen energy, energy storage batteries), etc.
This Special Issue, "Future Challenges in Electrochemical Corrosion and Protection of Metallic Materials” aims to attact original research exploring electrochemical corrosion mechanisms in harsh and multi-factor coupled environments, advanced characterization techniques, and novel alloys, coatings and advanced manufacturing methods (such as additive manufacturing) of metallic materials.
We look forward to your contribution including, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Corrosion behavior and mechanism of metallic materials in deep sea mining, dredging engineering and new energy field, etc;
- Flow-induced and erosion-corrosion in extreme environments (mining, dredging);
- Novel corrosion-resistant materials and coatings;
- Advanced manufacturing methods (additive manufacturing) and surface engineering methods for corrosion resistance enhancement.

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.
