Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Economic losses caused by corrosion are estimated to be 3–5% of gross domestic product in developed countries. Corrosion losses include the costs of replacing damaged devices, products or constructions, backup solutions, corrosion allowance, corrosion protection systems, loss of productivity, environmental and health damages, etc. Corrosion damage affects products made of various metallic materials, but the main group of products are structures made of steel. In terms of maintaining the required service life of structures or equipment, it is necessary to understand the corrosion damage mechanism, evaluate the impact on reliable service and propose appropriate measures.

Further to the success of the Special Issue of Materials on “Corrosion Properties and Mechanism of Steels”, we are delighted to open a new Special Issue entitled “Corrosion Properties and Mechanism of Steels, Volume II”.

This second volume of the Special Issue focuses on the interconnection between the corrosion properties, the corrosion damage mechanism of steel structural elements and ensuring the required service life of the structural part or the entire construction. The results of applied research are preferred, including a description of their practical use. The types of structures are not strictly limited; articles may address the corrosion damage of:

  • Bridge constructions; 
  • Technological constructions and equipment; 
  • Pipelines; 
  • Structural or non-structural elements of buildings.

In terms of the material, this Special Issue is limited to various types of steel, in particular to:

  • Carbon structural steel; 
  • Low-alloy steel; 
  • High-performance steel; 
  • Stainless steel.

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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.

The microstructural evolution and corrosion behaviour of railroad flash-butt-welded U71Mn joints and the effect of heat treatment were investigated via scanning electron microscopy and electrochemical measurements. The joint structures were found to mainly comprise pearlite and a few ferrites. The grains became finer and more homogeneous after heat treatment. Additionally, there was a decrease in the corrosion current density (1.71 × 10−5 A cm−2) and increases in the absolute corrosion potential (0.86 mV) and corrosion resistance (1088.83 Ω−1cm2). This was primarily attributed to the fewer Cl− ions at the homogeneous grain boundaries and fewer oxidation reactions on the joints after heat treatment. The findings of this study explain corrosion failure and will guide the development of corrosion-resistant joints for improved railroad quality. Full article

Chloride ions are nowadays the main cause of the degradation of steel and reinforce concrete construction in the vicinity of the road. On the other hand, chloride ions, usually in the form of de-icing salts or brine, are very important for safe winter traffic on the roads. This creates a slightly schizophrenic situation where it is necessary to ensure safe traffic in the winter period and at the same time to affect the service life of the structure as little as possible. The effect of the roadway on chloride deposition is a long-studied, but still imprecisely understood, part of the effect of chloride ions on structures in the vicinity of the roadway. This paper discusses the experimental measurement of chloride deposition in the vicinity of the I/11 road in the Czech Republic by dry plate method, wet candle method and corrosion coupons. Statistical analysis of correlation and regression is performed on the results of measurements by wet candle and horizontal dry plate methods. The methods are interdependent. A detailed analysis of the surface and chemical properties of the corrosion products is performed on the corrosion coupons. Using the corrosion loss, the environmental category C2 is determined. Observation of the microclimate in the vicinity of the roads gives to engineers a basis for the correct design of structures around the roads. The conclusions of the experimental measurements are intended to help engineers to design a structure that is safe, serviceable and sufficiently resistant to chloride ions within its service life Full article
