Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
From the perspectives of engineers, physicists, researchers, and scientists, we intend to analyze and discuss different modern perspectives on materials processing. The high potential of enhancing a material through processing (thermal or mechanical forming, machining, joining, welding, laser processing, plasma processing, micro- and nano-processing) makes standard materials suitable for more applications. Actual activity in this field presents a few problems connected to obtaining and processing metallic alloys, the modification of surface states, and the characterization, modeling, and simulation of prototyping technologies. Based on the multiple possibilities of applying alloys with well-established production technologies by modifying their properties through various processing methods, this Special Issue is dedicated to the results obtained through various thermo-mechanical processes, specialized treatments, sintering of materials obtained through 3D printing or other processing processes implemented at the laboratory or industrial level.
This Special Issue of the Journal of Manufacturing and Materials Processing will focus on the most recent advances in obtaining and processing materials used in the industrial, automotive, chemical, or medical fields with improved performances.

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. Journal of Manufacturing and Materials Processing 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 1800 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.
