Advances in High-Performance Alloys

Dear Colleagues,

High-performance alloys, such as medium-/high-entropy, aluminum, copper, titanium, and iron alloys, are key foundational materials in industrial applications. The requirements for improved mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and hydrogen embrittlement properties have motivated a large number of studies.

Contributions are intended to show the influence of the thermomechanical process, chemical compositions, and microstructures on the property profiles. In addition to experimental approaches, the development of artificial intelligence is useful for predicting the composition–microstructure–property relationships of high-performance alloys. Therefore, this Special Issue will mainly focus on the latest advances in experimental characterization and machine learning for high-performance alloy design, aiding in revealing novel microstructure–property relationships from the atomic/nanometer to macroscopic scales.

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.
