Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, the increased environmental concerns and the rising costs of oil have again made Magnesium and Aluminum alloys the material of interest for many industrial fields, such as automobile, aerospace, railway, shipbuilding and marine, because of their low density, high specific strength, superior mechanical and physical properties, as well as processability and recyclability. Since the forming of the microstructure depends on the specific of the forming methods, which directly affects further mechanical and physical properties of the material, it is important to understand how to control the microstructure forming of the Magnesium and Aluminum Alloys by forming methods and heat treatment. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to present the latest research related to heat treatment and forming of Magnesium and Aluminum Alloys, including alloy casting, extrusion and deformation, joining and machining, additive manufacturing, heat treatment, microstructure evolution and mechanical properties.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Metals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
