Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Corrosion is considered the most damaging phenomenon to steel structures, and it is well-known that this process is strongly related to the surrounding environment. Corrosion reduces the residual life of infrastructures, putting the entire system at risk of failure, which can have serious consequences for humans and the environment. Furthermore, the cost of maintenance and repair will grow in direct proportion to the severity of corrosion damage. Therefore, to maintain the safety of such steel structures, it is of great importance to understand the corrosion process in its numerous forms. In recent decades, researchers from various disciplines have conducted experimental programs to better understand the causes, behavior, and effects of corrosion on various steel structures based on their location and the environmental impact. Integrating such experimental findings with advanced modeling techniques will yield various aspects and frameworks for explaining the influence of environment–corrosion–structure. The use of artificial intelligence and statistical models, as well as their integration with reliability analysis and probabilistic modeling, are recent advances in modeling approaches that are intended to be effective tools for modeling corrosion in complex environments.
This Special Issue will provide an opportunity for researchers working on corrosion problems, modeling, and experimentation on steel structures to share their latest findings and ideas. We welcome articles on all aspects of corrosion, including modeling and experimental studies of corrosion causes, behavior, and impact on steel structures and the environment.

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.
