Corrosion and Surface Treatment of Metallic Aviation Materials in Marine and Low-Altitude Environments

Dear Colleagues,

Corrosion in marine and low-altitude environments poses a significant challenge in enhancing the reliability and service life of aerospace materials. To address this issue, the high-quality surface modification of aerospace equipment and the meticulous design of its internal microstructure are imperative. This involves employing corrosion-resistant materials, adding inhibitors, metal surface modifications, protective coatings, electrochemical protection, alloy design, and microstructural control, among other methods. In this Special Issue, we focus on introducing corrosion prevention mechanisms to aerospace materials, as well as on the prospects and development trends of their surface treatment technologies, supported by advanced surface modification techniques, service life assessment, corrosion simulation, electrochemistry, and high-resolution microstructural characterization methods.

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.
