Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Industrial and post-industrial societies are based on metals. Those that are most commonly applied react with the environment to a greater or lesser extent. Thus, corrosion is an important problem affecting human safety, the environment, and the economy. The most spectacular examples include the collapse of buildings and bridges, accidents in chemical plants and nuclear power plants, oil leaks from pipelines, and pollution of drinking water. The global cost of corrosion was estimated by the National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE) as 3.4% of the global gross domestic product. Corrosion affects the global demand for metal, decreasing their reserves and increasing the environmental pollution caused by mining and metallurgy. Thus, efficient corrosion protection strategies are necessary, which are based on scientific corrosion studies.
This Special Issue will present research articles describing the mechanisms for electrochemical corrosion of metals as well as means of corrosion protection. Nowadays, especially interesting issues related to these are, e.g., the replacement of toxic elements used in corrosion protection such as Cr(VI), development of self-healing anticorrosion coatings, a better understanding of passivity and the mechanisms of breakdown of the passive layer, in addition to green corrosion inhibitors.

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.
