Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metal materials are indispensable in many areas of everyday life. Corrosion protection and an understanding of corrosion behavior are essential for their use in the long term. For this Special Issue, papers discussing the corrosion of magnesium and its alloys are particularly welcome for publication. These are materials have inspired growing research and application interest due to their excellent physical and chemical properties such as low density, high strength, thermal conductivity, biocompatibility, recyclability, etc. Unfortunately, poor corrosion resistance is the most important property that limits the widespread industrial application of magnesium-based materials. In recent years, efforts have been made to develop new compositions, surface modifications or deformation processes to improve the corrosion resistance of magnesium and its alloys. Despite significant scientific progress, there is still potential for the development of new solutions and overcoming the knowledge gap.
The scope of this Special Issue will provide comprehensive insight into corrosion processes in different environments and under different conditions, and the anti-corrosion coatings of different origins including up-to-date trends and advanced strategies such as superhydrophobic treatments, smart materials, corrosion inhibitors, etc. The Special Issue is open to the publication of original articles that provide information on the electrochemical and corrosion properties of various metallic materials such as steel, magnesium and their alloys. Review papers are also welcome.
Moreover, the Special Issue offers an opportunity to publish perspective articles that describe new directions for the topical areas of interest relating to the corrosion of metallic materials. They should present a novel assimilation of scientific information in current or emerging fields that indicate potential trends or innovative applications, without necessarily including data.

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. Coatings is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
