Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aim of this Special Issue is to compile a collection of high-impact works related to the tribological evaluation and characterization of cutting-edge materials and coatings. This includes the use of novel processing routes to achieve higher wear resistance properties or specific friction behaviors. This Special Issue aims to stimulate researchers’ interest in sharing their results regarding wear problems using new materials and novel technologies. The following topics are encouraged for submission in this Special Issue:
- The creation of innovative wear and corrosion-resistant alloys using various methods, such as additive manufacturing processes (3D printing), thermal spray, and laser cladding, among others.
- Exploration of the wear resistance behavior of novel alloys that could exhibit higher wear resistance than conventional alloys.
- Experimental research or theoretical investigations into new materials that demonstrate exceptional friction behavior or wear resistance under diverse testing scenarios.
- We also encourage case studies that demonstrate the application of new alloys or technologies to address real-world challenges associated with wear.
- Review articles on recent trends and development of wear resistant materials and coatings for industrial applications.

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.
