Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to submit your work to this Special Issue entitled “Investigation on Structure and Corrosion Resistance of Steels/Alloys, 2nd Edition”.
Alloys/Steels are every important and key materials for engineering applications such as nuclear power plants, oil, chemical petrochemical, and marine industries. The mechanical and corrosion properties are the two most important properties of alloys/steels when working with them. Mechanical and corrosion properties are directly affected by microstructures. Thus, research on the microstructural, mechanical, and corrosive properties of alloys/steels is necessary for improving the properties of alloys/steels and is vital to develop advanced alloys/steels.
Previously, we set up the Special Issue entitled “Investigation on Structure and Corrosion Resistance of Steels/Alloys” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/coatings/special_issues/structure_corrosion_resistance) with 14 publications. Based on previous success, we are glad to announce the second volume. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Localized corrosion of stainless steels;
- Corrosion mechanism of ultra-high strength steels;
- Advanced corrosion resistant coating of steels;
- Structures of ultra-high strength steels;
- Mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of high strength stainless steels.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
