Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Green manufacturing is one of the hot issues in the manufacturing industry. Steel manufacturing inherently produces carbon emissions; in order to achieve "green steel", it is a reasonable means to improve the service performance of steel and reduce production. This Microstructure regulation has been proven to be an effective method to realize high service life of steel. Accordingly, we are launching this new Special Issue of Coatings that will collect original research articles and review papers. Contributions will focus on the microstructure and property control of steel, as well as service properties. It will emphasize the potential of the covered subject in addressing these important societal challenges.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Microstructure of steels.
- Fatigue properties of steels.
- Wear properties of steels.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Xiaoyan Long

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.
