Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent theoretical and experimental developments in heat and surface treatments of alloys are among the most highly-exploited research systems in the field of science and engineering. Increasing demands for durability, reliability, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance by current applications ranging from aerospace, medical, automotive to chemical industries cause the necessity of modifying already existing technologies as well as the development of new ones in the field of surface, heat, and thermochemical treatment of alloys. Driven by the current state of knowledge, the need to maintain structural material integrity and reliability assets under hard working conditions requires a ceaseless effort in experimental, theoretical, and modeling areas.
This Special Issue will serve as a forum for papers in the following concepts:
- Theoretical and experimental research, knowledge, and new ideas in surface and heat treatment of ferrous and nonferrous alloys;
- Recent developments in surface treatments of alloys;
- Surface treatments by different processes, including but not limited to additive manufacturing processes, thermal spray, laser and plasma processing, CVD, plating, etc.;
- Understanding the degradation mechanisms of surface layers created by heat and surface treatments of alloys through friction, wear, and corrosion;
- Computer modeling and simulation to predict surface layer and coating properties and aid technological processes.
Dr. Bartlomiej Januszewicz
Guest Editors
In particular, the topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Protective coatings against wear;
- Thermochemical treatments of alloys (boriding, carburizing, nitriding);
- Mechanical surface treatments (shot peening);
- Proces control and computer-aided process design, parameter control, characterization of surface-treated coatings and layers;
- Modeling layers on all leves (macro, micro, atomic).
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.
