Structural and Mechanical Properties of Novel Mg Alloys

Dear Colleagues,

Magnesium and its alloys, due to their high specific strength, are very promising for future structural applications pertaining to the aerospace, transportation, and energy sectors. However, the mechanical properties of industrial Mg alloys are relatively low, so it is necessary to develop novel Mg alloys with high performance.

Therefore, this Special Issue, titled “Structural and Mechanical Properties of Novel Mg Alloys”, will collect papers that focus on the current status of new developments in Mg alloys. Specifically, we welcome papers related to the following aspects: preparation techniques employed in the development of novel Mg alloys, microstructural and property control in Mg alloys, deformation and recrystallization in Mg alloys, simulations of microstructure, and mechanical performance.

We expect this Special Issue to provide readers with some perspectives on the latest progress in the developments and applications of novel Mg alloys, as well as to extend their use in various applications.

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.
