Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metallic materials plays an important role in the development of human civilization. Since the Bronze Age, humans are developing metallic alloys by selecting a principal element (i.e. Fe, Cu, Al, or Ni) as the matrix with minor addition of alloying elements to modify the properties. One of the important engineering design parameter of metallic materials is its wear resistance. As such, development of new wear resistant materials has been in the forefront of academic and industrial research. International Energy Agency estimates the largest impact (38%) for carbon dioxide emissions reduction from the end-use energy efficiency. An effective solution to reduce the emissions is to improve the performance and efficiency of machinery (e.g., vehicles, fabrication machinery, mining equipment, etc.). Wear resistant materials with optimized tribological properties can effectively mitigate the performance loss and reduce GHG emissions.
In this Special Issue, we welcome articles that focus on the recent evolution of wear resistant metallic materials. This includes wear of metallic alloys, metal matrix composite (MMC), surface treatments, protective coatings, welding overlays and high entropy alloys (HEAs). The Special Issue also intends to outline the fundamental development and use of new wear testing methods and standards, wear modelling and validation as well as the modelling of tribo-systems, wear mechanisms, relationships between the composition, processing-properties and structure (PPS) relationship of metallic materials and their wear behavior. Such submissions should include the foundation in prior knowledge and how the current approach is implemented to explore these relationships.

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.
