Interests: Metallic surfaces modification and characterization by electrochemical technics. Large range of topics from corrosion, to coatings electrodeposition or anodic processes. Electropolishing of additively manufactured alloys (SS, Inconel, Titanium) with the aim of developing an innovative and ecofriendly process of finishing. Comprehensive analysis and process developments at larger scale.
Interests: Better understand interfacial phenomena in a situation in which two sliding solids are in contact and to provide new and innovative solutions for real problems that in turn will enable control of friction (ex: grafting of self assembled synthesized organic molecules, nano-texturation by femto-second laser).
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Stainless steel is widely used in various engineering applications due to its excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. Indeed, mechanical components often undergo a combination of mechanical wear and corrosion simultaneously. For this reason, many attempts are being made to further increase their tribological and corrosion resistance properties in particular environments.
In order to develop high-performance stainless steels with a better wear resistance in different environments, it is important to know the factors that influence wear rate and wear mechanisms. The excellent corrosion resistance of stainless steels results from the presence of a thin oxide film on their surface. Alloy composition, surface quality, the environment, and the conditions of alloy growth are some of the factors that influence the passivation phenomenon and film stability.
Most research studies deal with the analysis of wear and/or corrosion of stainless steels separately. In fact, the joint action of wear and corrosion has hardly been explored.
The aim of this Special Issue is to present the latest research on the mechanisms and consequences of the simultaneous action of friction and corrosion of stainless steels. A better understanding of these phenomena will allow the development of new compositions and/or surface treatments for stainless steels in the future. Research reports related to the resistance of stainless steels to tribocorrosion are also welcome as well as studies related to additively manufactured stainless steel.

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.
