Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent developments in multicomponent alloy coatings, including amorphous coating and high-entropy alloy coatings, have become one of the most highly-exploited research topic in the field of materials science and surface engineering. In recent years, many new emerging techniques for fabricating amorphous alloy/high-entropy alloy coatings have been rapidly developed, which makes this kind of coating highly attractive for use in industry applications. There has been a huge increase in demand for use in experimental, theoretical and modeling activities for these high-performance nanostructured materials. This scope of this Special Issue will serve as a forum for papers discussing the following concepts:
- Recent developments in the creation of new fabrication techniques for these coatings;
- New functional properties of these coatings;
- Theoretical and experimental research, knowledge, and ideas regarding corrosion, wear, and damage mechanisms;
- Experimental and processing high-performance coatings with exposure to high temperatures, high stress, and other extreme environment applications;
- New test methods considering the interplay between mechanical, chemical, and electrochemical interactions and the ability to predict performance and/or reliability;
- Use of computer modeling to predict coating properties and performance in service environments.

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. Coatings 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.
