Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of corrosion science continues to evolve, particularly in understanding the behavior of several metals like Fe, Ni, and Al, which are inherently reactive yet extensively used in industry due to their ability to form passive films. Despite this, passive films are imperfect and can break down under specific conditions, leading to localized corrosion. Forms of localized corrosion, such as pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking (SCC), significantly contribute to the failure of industrial assets.
In recent years, the study of passivity and localized corrosion in additively manufactured (AM) alloys has gained significant momentum due to the unique microstructures of these materials compared to their wrought counterparts. Numerous underexplored aspects of localized corrosion in AM alloys remain underexplored, presenting a rich area for further research. Additionally, the simulation of passive behavior and localized corrosion has seen substantial advancements, with numerical methods and phase-field modeling at the forefront. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) for predicting and mitigating localized corrosion also presents promising opportunities.
This second edition of our Special Issue aims to provide an updated and comprehensive overview of current research on passivity and localized corrosion of various metals and alloys. We are particularly interested in studies on the passivity and localized corrosion of different metals and alloys, the relationship between microstructure and pitting corrosion, innovative analytical methods, and theoretical mechanisms of localized corrosion. Furthermore, we welcome contributions on multiscale modeling for localized corrosion prediction, failure analysis, and the development of corrosion inhibitors.
We invite original research articles, reviews, and critical analyses of case studies from both academic researchers and industry professionals. Your expertise and research interests would make an excellent contribution to this Special Issue.
We look forward to your valuable submissions.

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. Metals 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 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.
