Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Material failure usually begins on the surface of the material, e.g., wear, corrosion, and fatigue. The investigation of the influence of surface roughness on material failure is important for the selection of the materials and the development of surface strengthening techniques in the industry. Evidently, surface morphology can determine the contact status and area between the medium or coupling element and the material surface. This is therefore interesting to comprehend the sensitivity of material failure to surface roughness.
The goal of this Special Issue is to establish the relationship between material failure (for instance, wear, fatigue, and corrosion) and the surface roughness of the material (such as metals and alloys). The latest recent research achievements concerning the present topic based on experiments or simulations are invited for submission. Literature review articles are also welcome.

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.
