Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The literature associated with this area of interest includes systematic studies of the wear behavior and phenomena responsible for the degradation of materials’ resistance. From the broad range of deterioration processes that occur, wear, corrosion and erosion are the dominant types of degradation observed in engineering materials. Even though the literature on the subject explains the general factors influencing the resistance of general materials, the continuous development of technologies for the fabrication, processing and treatment of metal-based structures demands systematic reporting on advances in the wear properties of metallic and ceramic materials. From the perspective of science and engineering, the wear of machine components must be minimized in order to improve their reliability. The engineering industry is demanding ceramic- and metal-based structures that perform well in terms of wear, corrosion and erosion environments, or optimally in all. First, to manage this task, material wear mechanisms should be understood. To facilitate the selection and design of wear-resistant materials, computer simulation, numerical calculations or artificial neural networks can be employed. Therefore, papers containing experimental and numerical results combined with the effect of material properties on wear, erosion and corrosion resistance are especially welcome.
This Special Issue is focused on studies related to the wear, corrosion and erosion resistance and wear mechanisms of metal-based structures, ceramic materials and MMC composites: metal alloys, sinters, hardfacings, thermally sprayed deposits, thin films, composites, additive manufactured metal structures and many more. The submission of papers focused on wear improvement via the modification of microstructural properties, surface layer treatment and the deposition of wear-resistant coatings onto a metal-based substrate are encouraged. The scientific papers contained in this Special Issue will provide new knowledge in the fields of materials science and mechanical engineering.
This Special Issue is open for submissions and welcomes original research contributions and review articles highlighting recent advances and future directions in the wear, corrosion and erosion behavior of metallic and ceramic structures.
The first volume, entitled “Metallic and Ceramic Materials Integrity – Surface Engineering for Wear, Corrosion and Erosion Prevention”, attracted great interest from authors and readers. Therefore, we will continue to study this field by compiling a second volume of 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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
