Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on recent progress in advanced alloys for engineering structures, emphasizing design methodologies and performance improvements. As the demand for higher efficiency and durability in engineering applications grows, advanced alloys play a crucial role. The contributions in this issue showcase innovative alloy compositions, novel processing techniques and advanced characterization methods that enhance material properties.
Key topics may include (but need not be limited to) integrating computational materials science in alloy design to tailor properties for specific applications and utilizing techniques like additive manufacturing for optimum performance. Additionally, the issue reviews performance metrics under various environmental conditions, providing insights into the long-term behavior of these materials in real-world scenarios.
The research highlights contributions to structural integrity while addressing sustainability, promoting eco-efficient practices in material selection and application. By compiling diverse studies, this Special Issue aims to serve as a vital resource for researchers and engineers looking to innovate in advanced alloys, ultimately driving progress in engineering structure design and performance.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
