Surface and Coatings Technology is an international archival
journal publishing scientific papers on surface and interface engineering to
modify and improve the surface properties of materials for protection in demanding
contact conditions or aggressive environments, or for enhanced functional
performance. Contributions range from original scientific articles concerned
with applied research or direct applications of coatings, to invited reviews of
current technology in specific areas. Papers submitted to this journal are
expected to be in line with the following aspects in processes, and
properties/performance:
A. Processes: Physical and chemical vapour deposition
techniques, thermal and plasma spraying, surface modification by directed
energy techniques such as ion, electron and laser beams, thermo-chemical
treatment, wet chemical and electrochemical processes such as plating, sol-gel
coating, anodization, plasma electrolytic oxidation, etc., but excluding painting.
B.Properties/performance: friction performance, wear
resistance (e.g., abrasion, erosion, fretting, etc), corrosion and oxidation
resistance, thermal protection, diffusion resistance,
hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity, and properties relevant to enhanced functional
performance for environmental, energy and medical applications, but excluding
device aspects.
