Advancements in Ultrasonic Testing for Metallurgical Materials (Second Edition)

Dear Colleagues,

This second edition of the Special Issue “Advancements in Ultrasonic Testing for Metallurgical Materials” aims to bring together cutting-edge research and innovative developments in the application of ultrasonic testing (UT) within the field of metallurgy. As UT techniques continue to evolve, they become increasingly critical for assessing microstructural integrity, detecting flaws, and evaluating the mechanical properties of metals and alloys. This issue seeks contributions that explore novel UT methodologies, improvements in signal processing, and advancements in non-destructive evaluation (NDE) technologies.

We also encourage submissions that address the challenges of testing in extreme environments, the characterization of complex materials, and the integration of UT with other NDE techniques. By showcasing these advancements, the Special Issue will provide a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners looking to enhance the reliability and accuracy of ultrasonic testing in metallurgical 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-anonymized 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.
