Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will focus on erosion–corrosion damage in metals, a critical area in materials science and engineering. Erosion–corrosion is a complex surface degradation process resulting from the interaction of mechanical wear (including cavitation erosion, solid particle erosion, slurry erosion, and liquid droplet erosion) and electrochemical corrosion. It significantly affects the durability and performance of metals in various industrial environments, including the marine, chemical, oil and gas, and power generation sectors.
The issue will examine the fundamental mechanisms underlying erosion–corrosion, with a particular focus on the interplay between these two processes. It will also address recent advancements in testing methodologies and explores innovative mitigation strategies, including the selection of suitable materials, the application of surface treatments, and the use of protective coatings. Additionally, the issue will feature contributions on the latest developments in modelling and simulation, which aid in predicting the service life of materials and supporting improved design practices.

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.
