Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Our main motivation for developing this Special Issue is the rapid evolution that surface engineering is currently experiencing, continuously expanding its field of technological applications. Such remarkable progress inevitably unlocks novel possibilities for achieving enhanced surface properties, precisely tailored to meet the rigorous requirements of advanced components. This advancement is particularly evident in metallic coatings, whether they consist of ferrous or non-ferrous alloys. The functional purposes encompass, but are not limited to, the improvement of corrosion resistance, enhancing wear behavior, and extending component service life.

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. Surfaces is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1600 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.
