Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metal spraying technologies have been developed as bulk protective barriers against corrosive, abrasive, mechanical and thermal attacks. In the recent past, many advances have been presented in the literature on the development of metal spraying technologies, especially in the field of thermal spray coatings. Their importance is constantly increasing because coatings allow to combine the stiffness and strength structural demands with the unique surfaces properties such as corrosion and wear resistance, electrical and thermal isolation, catalytic functions, decorative effect, etc. In addition, many of these technologies have been devoted to components repair becoming an important field in Additive manufacturing applications. This Special Issue is devoted to present a discussion forum on the last research findings in the broad field of metallization and thermal spray applications.
I look forward to receive your contribution to this project.
Dr. Pasquale Cavaliere

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.
