Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Coatings play an extremely important role in the durability of machine parts. Taking into account the excellent technological progress and advanced optimization of their construction, more and more often individual parts or even entire mechanisms are coated with different materials, or the surface layer is changed. The purpose of such an action can be varied:
- corrosion protection;
- change in tribological characteristics of a friction pair or a knot;
- lower production costs due to the possibility of using a core made from cheaper material.
This trend is noticeable in all industries, including in the automotive industry or in technological machines and various types of machine tools. For this reason, numerous studies are carried out related to coatings as well as their production, application, and features.
The scope of this Special Issue will serve as a forum for papers on the following concepts:
- empirical research of coatings used in industry;
- mechanisms of protection of machine parts and vehicles against corrosion;
- ways of changing the tribological features (friction and wear) of machine parts;
- innovative methods of applying coatings or changing the characteristics of the surface layer of the material;
- theoretical research on the characteristics of coatings used in the automotive and industrial industries;
- methods and purposes of coating removal;
- reconstruction and repair of protective coatings;
- the impact of the production and operation of coatings used in machines and devices on the natural environment;
- laboratory and simulation tests of the influence of lubricants and oils on the functioning of the coating.

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.
