Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fretting refers to small-amplitude relative movement between contact surfaces due to mechanical vibration, fatigue load and electromagnetic vibration, etc. It leads to disastrous consequences and significant economic losses in aerospace, nuclear power, transportation and other fields. Fretting damage can be classified into fretting wear, fretting fatigue and fretting corrosion. Fretting wear refers to material removal, leading to the loss of fit in an assembly of components. Fretting fatigue occurs due to cyclic load. It facilitates premature initiation and subsequent growth of fatigue cracks, leading to a shorter fatigue life of components or failure at the stress level well below the fatigue limit. Fretting corrosion happens in electrolyte or other corrosive media. Based on the understanding of the fretting damage mechanism, corresponding measures such as structural optimization, surface modification, coating preparation and lubrication can be taken to alleviate it.
This Special Issue on “Fretting Damage and Surface Protection of Metallic Materials” will cover a variety of fretting-related topics from the perspective of the fretting damage mechanism and protection methods for metallic materials. Research papers and case studies from academia as well as industrial fields are solicited.

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.
