Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cermet coatings deposited on metallic components have attracted tremendous attention owing to their capability of protecting the substrate from surface wear and corrosion. The coated components can, thus, have a remarkably extended service life. In the past decades, various coating materials including carbides-, nitrites- and oxide-based cermets; advanced fabrication techniques, such as thermal/cold spraying, PVD/CVD, laser cladding, and plasma transferred arc surfacing; as well as many post-treatment processes, have been developed. These coating materials and preparation technology have been successfully applied in industries. However, with the increasing demand on metallic materials applied to extreme environments, e.g., elevated temperature, oxidative atmosphere, strong impact, and abrasive conditions, it is very necessary to look for breakthroughs in current coating materials or viable alternatives. Generally, the development of novel material system for coating applications, the innovation in coating preparation technology, the effective integration of starting materials and deposition processes, and the discovery of new wear and corrosion resistance mechanisms are critically required.
For this Special Issue, we invite high-quality contributions with innovative and significant findings and experiences in the field of cermet coatings. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the above-mentioned aspects. Some bulk cermet materials that have excellent mechanical properties and can potentially be used for resisting wear and corrosion are welcomed as well.

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.
