Advances of Ceramic and Alloy Coatings, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

With the development of modern technology, advanced ceramics, alloys and their coatings have gradually become important parts of new materials, as well as key materials in the development of many high-tech fields. They have received a great deal of attention from researchers in various industrially developed countries. Advanced ceramics and alloys, which have specific fine structures and many excellent properties (e.g., high strength, high hardness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, etc.), are widely used in various fields, such as national defense, chemical industry, metallurgy, electronics, machinery, aviation, aerospace, biomedicines, etc.

This Special Issue will serve as a forum compiling papers in the following areas:

1. Theoretical and experimental research, knowledge, and new ideas related to corrosion-protective and -preventive coating mechanisms of ceramic and alloy coatings;
2. Ion beam modification of metal material surfaces;
3. Coatings produced through different processes, including, but not limited to, additive manufacturing processeing, laser and plasma processing, thermal spray, CVD, electrodeposition, etc.;
4. Thermal barrier coating materials, coating preparation and high-temperature corrosion resistance mechanisms;
5. Applications in high-temperature engineering and corrosion-resistant materials.

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. Coatings 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.
