Advanced Sensor Technologies for Corrosion Monitoring

Dear Colleagues,

Corrosion is the main reason for the performance degradation of metal components in natural environments; this can affect the durability of component structures and shorten their service life. Severe cases can lead to component failure and cause safety accidents. Early detection and diagnosis alongside effective prevention and control measures are important components of corrosion protection for metal components. Corrosion monitoring technology can provide a basis from which to evaluate the rationality of material selection, the effectiveness of protective measures, and environmental conditions.

Corrosion monitoring technology can provide corrosion information at any time without manual testing, ensuring the consistency and reliability of test results. Installing sensors and monitoring instruments on key structures to monitor the entire process of corrosion in key parts/structures of equipment is beneficial for the real-time prevention and control of corrosion, and can also provide more data support for equipment life extension.

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. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
