Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metallic materials are those materials most used on a daily basis and at the engineering level due to their versatility, resistance, and easy recyclability. One of the examples that shows these characteristics is steel, mainly used in various applications and environments to withstand extreme conditions such as weight support and temperature. Likewise, most industrial processes involve materials making contact with different types of fluids. This is how the parts exposed to the action of these fluids can present oxidation, thus rapidly reducing the usefulness of the pieces. Due to the relative movement of a corrosive fluid in contact with the metallic surface, the iron rust added to mechanical effects accelerates the corrosion rate of the metal. Additionally, if the fluid contains solids and suspended particles, the degradation effects on the material increase. As such, in recent years, advancements worldwide have made it possible to generate coatings that improve the properties of metals or maintain the integrity of the material under the effects of an aggressive medium that causes corrosion. This allows coatings to become the solution to this problem that impacts great economic losses worldwide.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
