#### **1. Introduction and Scope**

From an engineering standpoint, the corrosion of metallic materials is a challenging phenomenon, responsible for huge costs and serious failures. This situation has driven the quest for increasing scientific initiatives to improve the current knowledge on corrosion mechanisms and mitigation strategies in different areas. Hence, intense research activity is dedicated to develop new alloy compositions, protection methods, and to investigate corrosion mechanisms in depth.

As part of this scenario, this Special Issue was conceived to gather new, innovative contributions towards a deeper understanding of corrosion processes in a variety of applications.
