This Collection provides updated research from the Intelligent corrosion control 2023 Collection.

The emergent materials genome engineering research field has spurred development in materials intelligent technologies that are transforming the corrosion research paradigm. For example, advanced computation has become essential in elucidating corrosion mechanisms at atomic and molecular levels which are not yet possible by conventional experimental techniques. High-throughput and automated experiments are employed to substantially accelerate the screening of corrosion-resistant materials and the evaluation of corrosion behaviors under complex/combinatorial influencing factors. Artificial intelligence is revealing its power to predict corrosion behaviors and efficiently discover optimized materials composition out of large search spaces, thereby reducing the time and cost associated with traditional ‘trial-and-error’ corrosion evaluation methods. Relying on these revolutionary technologies, next-generation corrosion-resistant materials that could adapt and respond to environmental attacks are being created towards more durable, sustainable, yet cost-effective corrosion protection.

This new themed Collection of npj Materials Degradation aims to report important advances for intelligent corrosion control (inclusive of intelligent systems in corrosion) in the broadest sense of the term, by gathering original research articles, review papers and perspectives including but not limited to the following topics:

  • Advanced computation for mechanistic corrosion modeling at atomic and molecular scales;
  • High-throughput/automated experiments for corrosion evaluation and materials design;
  • Machine learning and artificial intelligence for corrosion detection, diagnosis and prediction; 
  • Smart corrosion resistant materials with self-healing, corrosion-sensing or other functional properties.

All submissions will be subject to the same rigorous peer-review process and editorial standards as regular npj Materials Degradation articles. Review articles and perspectives are by invitation only. The Guest Editors declare no competing interests with the submissions which they have handled through the peer-review process.

Editors

The Collection will publish original research Articles, Reviews, Perspectives and Comments (full details on content types can be found here). Papers will be published in npj Materials Degradation as soon as they are accepted and then collected together and promoted on the Collection homepage. All Guest Edited Collections are associated with a call for papers and are managed by one or more of our Editorial Board Members and the journal's Editors.

This Collection welcomes submissions from all authors – and not by invitation only – on the condition that the manuscripts fall within the scope of the Collection and of npj Materials Degradation more generally. See our editorial process page for more details. 

All submissions are subject to the same peer review process and editorial standards as regular npj Materials Degradation articles, including the journal’s policy on competing interests. The Guest Editors have no competing interests with the submissions, which they handle through the peer-review process. The peer review of any submissions for which the Guest Editors have competing interests is handled by another Editorial Board Member who has no competing interests. See our Collections guidelines for more details.
