Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent decades, the growing demand for high performance, long lifetime, reliability of metallic parts, high energy efficiency, and low environmental impact has fuelled the growth of surface modification technologies. It is a pleasure to invite you to submit your papers to the current Special Issue, entitled “Surface Modification and Coating of Metallic Materials: Microstructure, Tribology, and Corrosion.” Surface modification of metallic materials via friction stir processing, laser melting processing, and chemical treatments. Compositing the surface with nano-reinforcements aiming to improve its characterizations. Surface coating technologies are considered to be a part of advanced surface modification; thus, articles on coatings are also welcome. Papers including microstructure analysis, hardness, tribology, and corrosion investigation of the modified surface are welcome. The main focus of this issue is to highlight the visible approaches of surface modification for improving wear and corrosion resistance. Simultaneously, besides the wear and corrosion investigations, the microstructure of the modified surface or surface composite is important to be studied.
the topics of interest of this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Surface modification (laser melting processes, friction stir processing, chemical methods;
- Surface compositing;
- Surface characterizations research (microstructure, hardness, tribological analysis, corrosion, surface roughness;
- Tribological coatings, wear and corrosion protection;
- Surface characterization and tribo-testing.

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.
