Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to invite you to submit your research to this Special Issue, "Advances in Thermal Barrier Coatings (TBCs): Materials, Fabrication, Corrosion and Applications". As one of the key technologies for areo-engines, thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) have been applied to hot-section components of combustors, high-pressure turbine (HPT) blades, and HPT nozzles for decades. TBCs enable the areo-engines to operate at higher temperatures; therefore, efficiency can be improved, emissions can be reduced, and thrust can be increased. On the other hand, the higher operating temperature leads to some unavoidable limitations in TBC use, including accelerated sintering, phase transformation, and corrosion resulting from environmental deposits (CMAS) and molten salt. These cause the premature failure of TBCs. In the interest of improving the performance of TBCs and elongating their lifetime, we face a practical requirement for alternative TBC materials to be developed, with progress required in TBC fabrication science and technologies, TBC design strategies, corrosion protective methods and failure mechanisms.
This Special Issue will present the latest designs and developments in TBCs applied for areo-engines through original research papers and review articles from leading scientists and engineers across the world.
In particular, the topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Novel material candidates for TBC applications at ultra-high temperatures;
- Fabrication science of TBCs by APS, EB-PVD, SPS and PS-PVD technologies;
- Corrosion behaviour of TBCs in the presence of CMAS and/or molten salts;
- Corrosion protective methods and corrosion resistance mechanisms of TBCs;
- Thermal cycling performance and failure analysis of TBCs;
- Long-life designs for TBCs.

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. Coatings 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.
