Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As you know, in the aerospace, petrochemical, automotive, metallurgical, and other industries, many parts of different machines are in a high-wear, high-temperature, and high-pressure environment, and are thus prone to wear and corrosion. Therefore, wear resistibility, corrosion resistibility, and stability under high temperatures need to be further improved. Surface technology involves the fields of materials science, chemistry, physics, tribology, microelectronics, information science, nanotechnology, biomedicine and other disciplines, and is one of the important frontiers of modern high-tech fields and advanced manufacturing. In recent years, the research into surface technology has achieved good results, and it is developing towards automation and intelligence. This topic aims to integrate and present the latest advances to inspire and inform relevant researchers in the field of surface technology, and to promote the application of surface technology.
The topics of interest for this Special Issue include (but are not restricted to):
- Novel surface material systems, e.g., superalloy, high-entropy alloys, amorphous alloys, gradient alloys;
- External field-assisted surface technology, e.g., ultrasonic and electromagnetic field;
- High-wear-resistant, high-corrosion-resistant, high-temperature-oxidation-resistant and self-lubricating coatings;
- Repair and strengthening of machine parts;
- Novel surface technology methods, e.g., extreme high-speed laser material deposition (EHLA);
- Simulation analysis of surface technology, e.g., temperature field, stress field, microstructure simulation;
- Monitoring and control of surface technology processes—combination of image processing and artificial intelligence methods to promote the development of surface technology;
- Surface functionalization, including spraying, plating, heat treatment, physical/chemical vapor deposition, femtosecond laser processing, nano-etching, and promising methods and processes for surface functionalization;
- Corrosion and protection of surface coatings;
- Frictional wear and lubrication of the surface coatings;
- Any other aspects of advanced surface technology.

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.
