Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Although the phenomenon has existed ever since machines started being used, tribocorrosion, as a field of systematic research, has only seen rapid growth since the early 1990s. One of the most important and fundamental subjects in tribocorrosion is the synergistic effect, where it is commonly observed that the material loss rate under the joint mechanical and chemical actions is different from, and usually higher than, the simple addition of loss rates due to each process acting separately.
Tribocorrosion synergy has huge economic implications to many industries as a result of decreased efficiency, lost productions, and/or risks of safety. Some examples of such sectors include oil and gas, mining and mineral processing, energy/power generation, and chemical and metallurgical engineering. While we have to admit that tribocorrosion mechanisms are still not well understood, the currently accumulated body of knowledge can be applied to help industry reduce production costs by selecting the right material and/or right process parameters for a given application. Some examples of substantial improvement have been achieved in recent years, such as biomedical implants and chemo-mechanical polishing in the silicon industry. Nevertheless, tribocorrosion has, thus far, largely been limited to the academic community; its actual meanings are still unfamiliar or unknown to most industrial practitioners.
It is, thus, one of the main aims of this Special Issue to stimulate application-orientated tribocorrosion studies, including bio-tribocorrosion, and the applications of tribocorrosion knowledge for mitigating practical issues through the exchange of information between academia and industrial researchers/engineers. Contributions are solicited from fundamental studies, behaviors of materials under different working conditions, methodologies/technologies that help material selections, to case studies on particular industrial issues.

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. Lubricants 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.
