Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Of all the corrosion phenomena that occur during the service life of materials and components, corrosion fatigue is certainly one of the most critical as it leads to premature and unexpected failures that can occur thanks to the synergistic action between loading and the environment. In recent decades, much effort has been dedicated to understanding, modelling, and simulating the fatigue and corrosion fatigue of metals and alloys. However, several critical points still need to be investigated such as new materials and heat treatments, innovative joining technologies (friction stir welding, lasers, etc.), and additive technologies, which have raised new concerns in terms of the fatigue and corrosion fatigue behaviour of both traditional and more innovative alloys. This opens new questions in terms of material qualification with respect to the specific operating conditions of materials and products needed to achieve the high levels of safety required for specific applications in industrial sectors characterized by strong standardization such as aerospace, automotive, energy, and oil and gas. All papers dealing with the fatigue behaviour of metals and alloys in aggressive environments are welcome, including modelling, prediction, simulation, testing, assessment, materials qualification, and product certification.

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.
