Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to the excellent mechanical properties of metal materials such as high strength and high hardness, they are now widely used in various research fields. At present, in order to make metal materials better adapt to a variety of complex and extreme environments (such as high temperature, oxidation erosion, and hot salt mixture corrosion) in the metallurgical process, make up for the current technical shortcomings and main needs, and formulate feasible strategies to improve the wear resistance, the oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance of metal materials are necessary.
This Special Issue is devoted to research on the surface properties of metal materials, the oxidation mechanism and oxidation behavior of metal surface coatings, the principles and methods of damage protection of metal materials in complex extreme environments, and the more advanced processing and manufacturing technology and the theory and application of surface interface performance control.
We welcome advanced techniques that help improve the surface properties of metallic materials, as well as articles which explore the factors that affect surface properties.

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.
