Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
High-entropy alloy/funtional coatings have been widely utilized to protect component substrate in extreme conditions such as high pressure, high temperature, and strong corrosion, etc. The mechanical and thermal physical properties of high-entropy alloy/funtional coatings could be affected by the coating microstructure, which determines coating tribology characteristics and the component service life. Therefore, it is necessary to illustrate the relationship of coating microsture to physical properties, tribological properties and experimental results. This relationship could guide the design of functional coating. This Special Issue aims to solicit research/review papers on the design and application of new high-entropy alloy/functional coatings in scientific research or industry.

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.
