Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The study of corrosion and the electrochemical behavior of metals and alloys continues to advance rapidly, driven by the demand for innovative materials, durable protective systems, and a deeper understanding of degradation processes. These developments have broadened our fundamental knowledge and strengthened the link between scientific discovery and engineering practice.
While the influence of inorganic components on corrosion is well established, the role of organic substances and microorganisms is often underestimated. Although microbiologically influenced corrosion is recognized, it still does not receive sufficient scientific attention. This Special Issue aims to highlight research in these important yet frequently overlooked areas. We welcome contributions exploring the corrosion behavior of metallic materials in the presence of microorganisms, as well as studies on the effects of organic compounds on corrosion mechanisms.
Rapid progress in the fabrication of metallic materials—particularly through advanced technologies such as Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM), Selective Laser Melting (SLM), and Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP)—has increased the need to understand the corrosion performance of these novel materials. Studies providing new insights into their corrosion processes in various environments are highly encouraged.
At the same time, the demand for effective corrosion inhibitors and protective coatings remains essential. Ensuring the long-term durability of conventional and advanced metallic materials requires continuous innovation in corrosion prevention. Accordingly, submissions addressing the design, mechanisms, and application of corrosion inhibitors, as well as the corrosion behavior of protective coatings, are strongly invited.
We look forward to your contributions and to assembling this Special Issue.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
