Progressive Technologies and Materials in Mechanical and Materials Engineering

Dear Colleagues,

Engineering materials play an important role in many industry sectors, such as machine engineering, construction, etc. Due to the rapid development of industrial branches, as well as the requirements for materials in terms of mechanical properties, the development of new or current production and forming technologies is essential. The improvement of material properties in order to increase the mechanical strength and hardness, while reducing the production costs and the energy consumption, should also be included.

We are pleased to invite you to publish works related to various aspects of technologies and materials. Reviews, original research articles and short communications are welcome.

Detailed topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

- progressive materials for engineering production and methods of technological workability,
- new observations from theory of technological processes of metal forming, welding, surface treatment, machining or plastic processing,
- progressive mechanical engineering technologies,
- experimental, computational and simulation methods in mechanical engineering technologies,
- products quality and production designing, lean manufacturing instruments (LM),
- ecological aspects of engineering technologies,
- application of modern materials and technologies in different industrial areas, especially in aviation and automotive sectors,
- other related topics.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
