Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The progressive wear of moving parts and components under operation conditions results in a decline in performance, efficiency, and functions. Damaged components need to be repaired or replaced with new ones, which requires temporarily shutting down the machine or the entire technological process.
Meanwhile, global industry is constantly seeking to improve the efficiency of technological processes and tools. The drive to increase efficiency across most industrial sectors contributes to ever more challenging material functionality. For example, in aero engines, the path to increased performance requires turbines to operate at higher temperatures, and the blades need to be able to withstand extreme conditions at the physical limits of conventional applied materials for that to be so. Therefore, there is a growing need to identify new and advanced structural and tool material options, as well as methods of their production and processing.
In this Special Issue of Metals, we welcome articles that focus on the relationships between the process, structure, properties, and tribological performance of metal-based coatings developed by various surface engineering processes. Your contribution to this Special Issue is highly valued and appreciated.
Dr. Sima A. Alidokht

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.
