   Surface coating and surface modification of metal materials play an important role in aerospace and navigation, advanced equipment manufacturing, nuclear energy, hydrogen energy, biomedical metals, and many other fields. They are not only an important technical strategy for the high performance design of related materials and products, aiming at long life, oxidation resistance, wear resistance, strong corrosion resistance, and radiation protection. Surface coating and modification are also an important material basis for the application of new energy storage, sensitive sensing, functional devices, and new concept products. The research direction involves material science, mechanics, mechanical engineering, physics, chemistry, etc. Facing the harsh service conditions, the breakthrough of the key problems often requires the combination or integration of physical/chemical vapor deposition, laser beam/ion beam modification, anodic oxidation, cold/thermal spraying, electrochemical plating, and other technologies, which has become a research hotspot in the field of materials. This issue aims to discuss important advances in relevant research fields at home and abroad.
