Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cryogenic treatment has become an important process in recent years, helping to tailor the microstructure and modify the final properties of materials; this includes the corrosion resistance, tribocorrosion resistance, wear resistance, fatigue resistance and surface properties. Cryogenic treatment is a treatment that affects both the surface and the bulk of the material at the same time, which is an advantage over other conventional treatments. By changing the microstructure and final properties of materials, cryogenic treatment can not only extend their life, but also the final component or tool, resulting in lower maintenance and processing costs. The application of cryogenic treatment can be found in medicine and implants, in the music industry for enhancing the sound of stringed and brass instruments, and in the automotive industry, oil and gas industry, mining industry, tool industry, electronics, robotics and many other conventional and emerging technologies. Cryogenic treatment can be applied to a wide variety of materials, from metallic (ferrous and non-ferrous alloys) to non-metallic, and to polymers, ceramics and composites.
This Special Issue is dedicated to the cryogenic treatment of various materials, with an emphasis on the corrosion properties, degradation (hydrogen test properties, tribocorrosion, tribology) and surface properties of materials.
All types of contributions are welcome (reviews, original articles, etc.).

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. Corrosion and Materials Degradation is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.
