Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Titanium and its alloys are well known as extensive materials due to excellent strength, corrosion resistance and fatigue in the medical, aerospace, automobile and parts modeling industries. In the 1980s, additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing technologies were introduced to produce structural components with a variety of alloys. Typically, a new development of these processes using titanium alloys has revolutionized the production of metallic components containing complex geometries, tubular patterns, hollow designs, and lattice structures. Since AM or 3D printing technologies are positioned to provide a disruptive transformation in how products are designed and manufactured, broad applications are expected to particularly benefit from the ability to produce high-quality models with reduced manufacturing costs and lead times. This Special Issue covers a wide range of state-of-the-art applications with enable design, manufacturing, and lifecycle performance produced by the additive manufacturing process using titanium alloys.
It is my pleasure to invite you to submit original articles and reviews related to the properties and applications of 3D printing using titanium alloys.
Prof. Dr. Mari Koike
Guest Editor
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-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Crystals 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 2100 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.
