Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The new Special Issue of Crystals, Emerging Topics of High-Performance Alloys (2nd Edition), continues the previous Issue (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/crystals/special_issues/alloys_topics1).
High-performance alloys such as shape memory, high entropy, and aluminum alloys can be used in different industrial applications. Their properties are required to customize material processing and microstructure. As a result, it is important to investigate how the thermomechanical processing conditions affect the microstructure and property profile of high-performance alloys. This investigation is important for developing and optimizing new alloys for different thermomechanical processing and transfer to industrial processes. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to identify the correlations between thermomechanical processes, microstructure, and mechanical properties of high-performance alloys. Contributions are intended to show the influence of the thermomechanical process, e.g., casting, hot or cold rolling, heat treatment, sintering, and extrusion on the property profile. In addition to experimental approaches, the development methods of modeling and simulation approaches are useful to predict composition–microstructure–property relations for high-performance alloy development and thermomechanical process design. The editors, therefore, welcome all contributions that add knowledge to this scientific field.
We look forward to receiving your submissions.

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 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.
