Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the last decade, metallic alloys have become more widely researched due to their special properties, such as hardness, toughness, corrosion resistance, magnetizability, and ductility. Despite all their mechanical features, one limitation, related to high chemical reactivity and less compact oxidation films, increases the risk of corrosion. To understand how to reduce these effects of corrosion on metallic alloys, it is important to understand the relationship between corrosion and coatings. Various surface modification techniques must be adopted to impair this restriction, focusing on the electrochemical interaction between the intermetallic layers and the external environment. The purpose of this Special Issue, “Corrosion-Resistant Coatings of Metallic Materials”, is to publish advanced theoretical research concerning various additional alloy coatings, along with experimental proof enabling researcher to practically resolve factors caused by corrosive environments. This Special Issue aims to particularly highlight the chemical and physical attributes of externally applied coatings, such as surface morphology, hydrophobicity, chemical reactivity, the adsorption/formation of complex compounds, inter/intramolecular interactions with corrosive media, and catalytic degradation. Such complexity has caused it to be even more necessary to address the effects of corrosion on coatings. Moreover, we hope for the electrochemical response to be discussed explicitly based on a detailed corrosion mechanism. All manuscripts are thoroughly reviewed, and those accepted will be published immediately online in an ongoing fashion in this Special Issue.

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. Crystals 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 2100 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.
