Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hydrogen embrittles a wide range of metal alloys, including modern materials used in advanced applications. This topic has become increasingly popular in recent decades under the global push for clean energy and with the emergence of new research domains such as additive manufacturing, high-entropy alloys, and quantum mechanics. With exciting advances in probing and predictive approaches, new solutions are being found at an accelerated pace. These new opportunities have driven the pressing call for our Special Issue, providing a platform for fresh insights into hydrogen embrittlement.
In this Special Issue, we welcome submissions regarding both fundamental and applied research centered around hydrogen embrittlement in metal alloys, especially those with vital engineering applications or exhibiting significant potential. We encourage contributions on new mechanisms, characterization techniques, materials, and models. Research topics should fall within the scope of this Special Issue but may overlap with other research areas where hydrogen’s effects are significant, such as environmental-assisted cracking. New mechanisms in emerging and/or cutting-edge domains are also of special interest. Review papers are also welcome, particularly those that summarize the forefront of hydrogen embrittlement research from a new perspective.

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. Corrosion and Materials Degradation 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 1000 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.
