Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metal coatings provide an efficient strategy to modify and optimize the properties of metallic substrates. Their purposes can be found in a large variety of applications from thermal management to corrosion resistance enhancement and from functionally graded materials to wear resistance amelioration. Consequently, metal coatings come in a variety of formulations that is as large as the number of methods available for producing them.
The importance of this field of material science has encouraged us to organize a Special Issue in Metals that focuses on the wear properties of metallic coatings. Therefore, we are inviting manuscripts that reflect the state-of-the-art in metal coatings development and utilization to minimize wear. Should you feel that you could participate in our endeavour by submitting an original summary of your research along this topic, please contact us with the details of your manuscript.

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.
