Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I would like invite you to submit your latest research results to this Special Issue on “Wear and Corrosion Behavior of Ceramics and Ceramic-Metal Composites”. It is known that the losses resulting from wear and corrosion in life-cycle costs of equipment may be tremendous. According to recent studies, losses due to friction and wear comprise 1.4% (K. Holmberg, A. Erdemir, Influence of tribology on global energy consumption, costs and emissions. Friction, 5, (2017), 263-284) and due to corrosion 3.4% (Assessment of the global cost of corrosion: http://impact.nace.org/economic-impact.aspx) of the world’s GDP. In some industries, such as metallurgy, mining, building materials production etc., and recycling of wear parts and consumables, comprise a marked part of life-cycle costs. Therefore, the challenge is to develop reliable and cost-effective wear- and/or corrosion-resistant ceramics, ceramic–metal composites, thick hardfacings and thin coatings on the basis of advanced technologies.
The scope of this Special Issue includes the latest developments in the field of wear- and/or corrosion-resistant hardfacings, thin coatings, ceramics, and ceramic–metal composites for industrial applications.
In particular, the topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Composite hardfacings;
- Fe- based composite hardfacings;
- Thin coating in wear and corrosion applications
- Ceramics for tribological (wear) applications;
- Ceramic–metal composites for tribological applications;
- Ceramic–metal composites with alternative binders;
- Hardfacings and composites from recycled materials;
- Wear behavior of hardfacings, ceramics, and ceramic–metal composites;
- Corrosion behavior of hardfacings, ceramics and ceramic–metal composites.

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.
