Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Corrosion is a pervasive issue that significantly impacts both daily life and industrial production. It leads to material degradation, compromising safety and performance while incurring substantial economic costs. Addressing corrosion challenges is vital for the sustainability and reliability of various technologies and infrastructure.
This Special Issue aims to explore the corrosion damage behavior and mechanisms of advanced functional metallic materials, addressing a critical area of research with significant implications for various industries. As technological advancements lead to the development of innovative materials, understanding their corrosion resistance and degradation mechanisms becomes essential for ensuring reliability and longevity.
We invite contributions that cover a broad spectrum of topics, including traditional metallic materials, grid materials used in energy transmission, and energy storage materials. Articles may focus on the characterization of corrosion processes, the effects of environmental factors, and the development of protective coatings or treatments. Furthermore, the interplay between microstructure and corrosion behavior, as well as the application of advanced analytical techniques to study corrosion phenomena, will be emphasized.
By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, this Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of current research trends and future directions in the field of corrosion science. We encourage researchers and practitioners to share their findings, insights, and innovative approaches, contributing to the advancement of knowledge in corrosion mechanisms and damage behavior of metallic materials in diverse 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. Metals 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.
