Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Corrosion of metals is one of the most important problems in different industries, such as automotive, naval, chemical, biomedical, aerospace, construction, and electronics. The amount lost for corrosion in the USA is around USD 250 billion. For that reason, it is important to understand the corrosion mechanism of different alloys and how protection methods play an important role in reducing the corrosion rate and increasing the lifetime of materials.
The correct protection method is vital to increasing materials’ performance in different environments. The environment plays an essential role in selecting protection methods, with protection methods varying from passivation, anodizing, corrosion inhibitors, cathodic protection, current methods, advanced coatings, and HVOF or plasma. The correct selection of coating equates to significant savings for different industries, so it is essential to determine if protection should be organic, inorganic, metallic, ceramic, or hybrid. Moreover, understanding the corrosion mechanism that acts in different protection methods is helpful.
This Special Issue, "Corrosion Processes of Metals: Mechanisms and Protection Methods", outlines different trends in corrosion science, electrochemicals, engineering, simulation, and technology, presenting a multidisciplinary perspective to abord the problem better. Topics related to corrosion and material protection are 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. Processes 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 2400 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.
