Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Al-rich alloys are promising materials for developing lightweight, high-strength structures that enable improved fuel economy, increased range for electric vehicles and more resilient materials for transportation and infrastructure. This Special Issue focuses on high-quality original research or review articles that elucidate novel aspects of processing–structure–property relationships of lightweight Al-rich alloys. Articles may focus on alloy development, novel processing or advanced manufacturing methods, advanced characterization techniques or materials properties, as examples. Research may be experimental, computational or a combination of the two.

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. 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 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.
