The theme of this collection was “Innovation and Development of Surface Engineering Towards a Conservation-Minded Society”; a timely reminder of the obligation of advanced technologies to commit to energy & resource saving and environmental protection. Surface engineering must play a more-and-more important role in energy-saving, materials-saving and environmental protection in the coming years obey the 4R (Reuse, Reduce, Recycle, Remanufacture) rule and contribute to development of the world economy.This collection of 201 peer-reviewed papers is grouped into seven sections: I. Thermal Spray Technology, II. Vapor Deposition Technologies, III. Electrodeposition and Electroless Deposition, IV. Energetic Beams and Plasma Surface Treatments, V. Wear and Corrosion Behavior of Engineering Surfaces, VI.
