Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Solid-phase processing to make coatings, engineer surfaces, and additively manufacture bulk materials has garnered increasing attention for the production of next-generation transformative materials. Solid-state processes include a variety of techniques ranging from friction-stir-based or friction-extrusion-based processes to cold spray coatings, surface and bulk severe plastic deformation processes, and mechanical alloying. Solid-state processes can circumvent metallurgical challenges associated with melt-based processing approaches and in many circumstances lead to enhanced mechanical and tribological properties. Driving forces for the material flow, bonding, welding, and mixing in solid-state approaches are often provided by a thermo-mechanical coupling effect at extreme shear, pressure, and impact conditions. This Special Issue is intended to cover a broad scope of fundamental and applied topics related to solid phase processing, including processing science, deformation mechanisms, microstructural evolution, as well as mechanical and functional properties. Full-length articles, short communications, review papers, and opinion papers are solicited to cover emerging processing approaches, characterization, theory and modeling, as well as novel experimental approaches in the broad area of solid-state processing, coatings, and additive manufacturing. In particular, the topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Process–microstructure–property relationships in solid-state processes
- Solid-state additive approaches: from coatings to bulk materials;
- Cold spray, kinetic deposition, aerosol deposition;
- Surface and bulk severe plastic deformation processes;
- Friction stir processing/welding, shear-assisted processing and extrusion, friction extrusion;
- Thermomechanical modeling of solid-phase processing;
- Deformation mechanisms and microstructural evolution during solid-phase processing;
- Modeling of severe deformation across length scales;
- Mechanical and tribological properties of solid phase processed materials.

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.
