Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Corrosion is one of the severe problems to affect many industries. It leads to plant and equipment breakdown in industrial sectors, such as energy power plants, chemical and petrochemical plants, automotive, marine, oil and gas, as well as aerospace, causing significant economic losses. More importantly, corrosion endangers individual safety and brings irrecoverable environmental consequences. Successive efforts towards using more complex environments and synergistic effects between corrosion and other modes of failure, such as wear and fatigue, make it essential to develop novel corrosion control methods and techniques. Although it is impossible to eliminate corrosion, the deployment of suitable corrosion control strategies bears promise to mitigate its impact significantly. The need for cost-effective protection, and the challenge of ensuring its adequacy, grows exponentially, particularly in the industry context, where long-term and sustainable approaches are highly demanding.
The scope of this Special Issue will serve as a forum for papers in the following concepts:
- Theoretical and experimental research, knowledge and new ideas for corrosion protection using protective coatings in small, medium and large industrial scales;
- Multi-functional coatings manufactured via different processes, e.g., additive manufacturing, thermal spraying, laser and plasma processing, PVD, CVD, and plating;
- Development of protective coatings used in low- and high-temperature environments typical of industrial applications;
- Understanding corrosion and failure mechanisms of coatings;
- Computational modeling and simulation to predict coating properties, performance, durability and reliability in service environments.

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.
