Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metal corrosion is the destruction of metal materials caused by chemical or electrochemical reaction between a metal and the environment. Metal corrosion is a common phenomenon in both manufacturing and daily life. Serious corrosion not only causes material failure, but may also cause unexpected disasters, resulting in economic losses and security incidents. In the 1870s, the British government assessed the impact of metal corrosion and protection on the national economy. The result showed that the annual cost of repairing damaged metal structures accounted for 3% of the annual GDP. In 2013, according to the National Association of Corrosion Engineering (NACE) survey, the cost of restoration reached 3.4% of the US annual GDP. In China, the total cost of metal corrosion in 2014 calculated by the Uhlig methods was USD 313 billion, accounting for 3.34% of annual GDP. Metal corrosion thus has a massive economic impact. In order to solve the problem of metal corrosion, a variety of advanced intelligent coatings with self-repairing function, efficient bio-based corrosion inhibitors and photoelectric anti-corrosion materials and technology have been developed. In addition, in recent years, special application scenarios have increasingly challenged the performance of metal materials. Therefore, the corrosion mechanisms of metal and anti-corrosion materials and technologies in special environments are emerging research fields.
Electrochemistry is an important science for the study of metal corrosion and anti-corrosion. In recent years, micro-area electrochemical technologies such as scanning probe technology, scanning electrochemical microscopy, in situ electrochemical technology, and the combination of electrochemistry and spectroscopy (X-ray spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, etc.) have made great progress.
This Special Issue of Metals focuses on new electrochemical research methods for the study of metal corrosion and anti-corrosion. The papers presented in this Special Issue will give an account of the scientific and technical status of new electrochemical analysis and research methods targeting the corrosion of special metals, metal corrosion in special environments, and advanced anti-corrosion materials (see the keywords/topics below). Your contribution to this Issue would be highly valuable and appreciated, and we therefore invite you to contribute your research.

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.
