Welcome to the Online
Manuscript Submission, Tracking and Peer Review System for
Surface Engineering

Surface Engineering provides a forum for the publication of refereed material on both the theory and practice of this important enabling technology, embracing science, technology and engineering. Contributions are invited on any aspect of the use of surface engineering to produce surface-substrate systems having mechanical, tribological, chemical and/or functional properties that cannot be achieved from the individual components alone. Coverage includes design, surface modification technologies and process control, and the characterisation and properties of the final system or component, including quality control and non-destructive examination.

Surface Engineering regularly publishes special issues focusing on topics of current interest. Information about special issues is posted on the journal homepage. Proposals for special issues are welcome and should be addressed to the Editor.

Please consult the information below to assist you. However, if you still require guidance, please contact: sur.ed@maney.co.uk
