Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Tribology is the science of friction, wear, and lubrication. It is a multidisciplinary science that studies the relationships between two surfaces subjected to a relative motion. Its study allows the improvement of the efficiency, performance, and durability of the involved parts.
The need to launch this special issue is due to the continuous evolution of current research trends on the study and tribological behavior of two or more surfaces, where at least one is metallic. Therefore, the issue objective is to collect the advances in the studies of tribological properties, in the different types of wear and in the improvements in lubrication. The special issue also focuses on the theoretical aspects of tribology.
Original works are invited on any aspect related to the tribological study of metals, coatings, heat treatments, bio-tribology, etc. Articles and reviews on fundamentals or applications are accepted.

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.
