Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As an “inevitable” process, the corrosion of metallic materials causes severe damage to the function of serving metals and the surrounding environment. The world average corrosion loss accounts for 3.4% of the global gross national product (GNP). Corrosion damage is common for materials severed in marine, soil, oil and gas exploitation, and in oral environments. Various techniques, such as coatings, anodic/cathodic protection, corrosion inhibitors, material design, etc., have been developed for corrosion protection. However, in-depth research on corrosion mechanisms and corrosion-protective techniques for special environments is still desirable. For example, the development of sustainable and eco-friendly corrosion inhibitors is urgently required in many industries. For this Special Issue of Metals, we welcome reviews and research articles in the areas of corrosion mechanism, corrosion inhibitor development, microbiologically influenced corrosion (inhibition), the development of protective coatings, and the design of novel alloys with antibacterial or corrosion inhibition effects.

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.
