Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metrology and measuring technology find applications in many industries areas, especially in the ongoing Industrial 4.0 revolution. The intensive development of production methods of metals and alloys requires the development of increasingly accurate measurement methods. These methods may concern the assessment of the structure and properties of metals and alloys, as well as the assessment of the quality of products manufactured based on these materials and its features. This, in particular, involves the study of metrological, mechanical, and tribological properties as well as functional characteristics. An important sub-topic is interdisciplinary research related to techniques and measurement problems of metals and alloys. It may concern the assessment of measurement accuracy, and measurement uncertainty of research infrastructure in terms of production of functional products with modern technologies (machining, 3D/4D printing etc.). This Special Issue is also devoted to the analysis and improvement of modern production processes and metrological analysis of metals and alloys.
It is our pleasure to invite you to submit original research papers, short communications or state-of-the-art reviews which are within the scope of this Special Issue.
The present Special Issue is aimed at the publication of the results of both theoretical and experimental research including, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Metrology;
- Coatings;
- Coatings in casting;
- Precision measurement;
- Metals and alloys materials;
- Manufacturing metrology;
- Surface metrology;
- Form error;
- Additive manufacturing;
- 3D/4D printing;
- Biomaterials;
- Conventional and unconventional manufacturing;
- Quality;
- Mechanical properties;
- Wear/tribological processes.
This Special Issue was created in connection with research financed by the National Centre for Research and Developments in Poland - Lider XI project, number LIDER/44/0146/L-11/19/NCBR/2020, under the title "An analysis of application possibilities of the additive technologies to rapid fabrication of casting patterns”. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with the results of the project and to contact the guest editors.

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
