Materials for Corrosion Protection

Dear Colleagues,

Corrosion has been and remains a challenge in industrial processes. The cost of corrosion, linked to prevention and repair of damage, is estimated at around 3.4% of the global GDP, but around 15% to 35% of this cost could be spared via mitigation methods.

The main avenue for improving corrosion resistance is the protection of materials, either through the selection of intrinsically corrosion-resistant materials or the modification of their surface properties with various treatments and coatings.

We are inviting submissions to a topic related to materials for corrosion protection, to present cutting-edge materials and surface treatments aiming at reducing corrosion in various environments and applications.

Topics of interest for publication are:

• Corrosion-resistant metals and alloys
• Metal substitutes for highly corrosive environments
• Conversion coatings and anodization
• Barrier coatings (metallic or non-metallic)
• Sacrificial coatings
• Self-healing coatings
• Sol–gel coatings, polymer coatings, and paints
• Corrosion-inhibitor-containing coatings
• Complex coating systems
• Atmospheric-corrosion-resistant materials
• High-temperature oxidation-resistant materials
