Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wear and corrosion damage is ubiquitous in the fields of engineering, and severely influences the regular operation of equipment. Especially for some key components (slide bearings, rollers, turbine blades, etc.), excessive wear and corrosion damage can directly cause the equipment to shut down, and also threatens production safety. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop advanced wear and corrosion resistant materials. Preparing surface coatings for wear and corrosion prevention are also effective ways to address these issues. As it is known, ceramics possess a high hardness and chemical stability, which makes ceramics the ideal candidate for anti-wear and corrosion applications. However, traditional ceramics have many drawbacks when applied as structural parts, such as brittleness, poor machinability and a high cost. Thus, it is urgent to develop new ceramic materials or corresponding composites which are suitable for use under severe wear and corrosion conditions. Furthermore, the underlying damage mechanisms need to be revealed and understood. Therefore, papers involving the designing, fabrication, and studying of wear and corrosion behaviors of ceramic-based materials or coatings are especially welcome.
This Special Issue is mainly focused on ceramic-based materials or coatings for anti-wear and corrosion applications, including, but not limited to, ceramics, cermets, metal- or ceramic-based composites, coatings, hardfacings and the characterization of wear or corrosion behaviors. Research contributions and review articles highlighting recent progress in the field are all welcome.

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.
