Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Repairing remanufacturing is the industrialization of high-tech maintenance to the waste productions and getting growing attention in recent years. Its aim is to renew the original size of the waste components rapidly, and simultaneously improve their service performance. Consistent with the sustainable development strategy, repairing remanufacturing is a kind of green technology with superior quality, high efficiency, energy and materials saving. Advanced surface engineering and other forming technologies are the critical elements for remanufacturing engineering. Currently the surface technologies, such as thermal spraying, electric-brush plating, and electro-spark deposition, are widely employed for the local repair of components. Other additive manufacturing methods based on the arc, plasma, and laser high density heat source, such as wire arc additive manufacture, micro-arc plasma forming technology and laser cladding, are also developed and play an increasingly important role.
This Special Issue of Materials will publish original experimental and theoretical work related to application of advanced additive manufacturing and surface engineering technologies for green remanufacturing.
It is our pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.

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.
