Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We invite you to submit details from your recent research work to our Special Issue, “Trends and Advances in Anti-Wear Materials and Coatings”. New anti-wear materials and coatings with superior mechanical properties are in high demand in modern industries. Many critical components for industrial application are prepared using anti-wear materials, including crusher hammers, brake disks, engine cylinder sleeves, friction sheaves, grinding rollers, and liner plates for ball mills. Although various anti-wear materials have been developed, the contradiction between wear resistance, strength, ductility, and toughness remains a significant problem. Therefore, pursuing advanced anti-wear materials and related methods for their processing has become a critical issue.

This Special Issue will focus on recent advancements in the fabrication and processing of anti-wear materials by soliciting submissions covering a wide range of themes. Manuscripts on calculation studies, simulation, and experimental works are welcome, and the topics of interest include but are not limited to:

  • Development of advanced anti-wear.
  • Deposition of hard coatings (e.g., PVD, CVD, etc.).
  • Solidification or fabrication of metal matrix composites.
  • Computer simulations for designing novel high-performance anti-wear materials.
  • Development of ceramic-particle-dispersed superhard alloys.
  • Unprecedented properties of metallic anti-wear materials.
  • Evolution and control of microstructure during fabrication and processing.
  • Strengthening and toughening design of ceramic materials and relevant control of wear resistance.

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. Coatings 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 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.

The study examined the corrosion and wear characteristics of hot-dip galvanized steel in complex soil environments. The results showed that hot-dip galvanized steel exhibited improved corrosion resistance characteristics. Additionally, the sliding speed was observed to influence both the coefficient of friction (COF) and the state of the worn surface. Moreover, the corrosion resistance of hot-dip galvanized steel declined as the immersion period increased. Following the incorporation of friction behavior, the galvanized layer is prone to accelerated degradation. The wear of the galvanized layer resulted in the failure of its electrochemical protection, creating a pathway for corrosion to occur on the substrate as a result of the coupling effect of corrosion and wear. The use of hot-dip galvanized steel presents challenges when exposed to a tribocorrosion environment for a prolonged period. This study lays the groundwork for future research on the maintenance cycle of industrial structures constructed primarily with hot-dip galvanized steel. Full article

Tilting pad bearings are core components of rotating machinery. Due to factors such as manufacturing, installation and operation, there may be a mismatch between the bearing pad surface and the shaft diameter, leading to issues like high bearing temperature and rotor system vibration. In engineering practice, surface grinding is often used to resolve these problems. This paper analyzed the mechanism of surface grinding, systematically studies the impact of individual or combined surface grinding on the static and dynamic characteristics of tilting pad bearings and summarizes reasonable pre-load adjustment schemes. The results show that the principle of pad surface grinding is to change the pre-load coefficient of the bearings. The grinding of the oil inlet and outlet sides of the pad surface changes the clearance of the pad, increases the pre-load coefficient, reduces the working temperature of the bearing, increases the thickness of the oil film, and increases power consumption; the grinding of the middle parting surface of the pad changes the clearance of the bearing, increases the pre-load coefficient, and increases the main stiffness and damping coefficient of the bearing. Using these results, a fault diagnosis was performed on a turbine unit with excessive vibration during an on-site operation, leading to effective control. The research provides technical references for the condition monitoring of turbine tilting pad bearing vibrations and the safe operation of units, offering significant engineering implications.
