Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metal alloys hold a special place in global industries. There are many global companies that are leaders in the production and sale of metallic alloy elements worldwide (e.g., Rolls-Royce, General Electric, Boeing, Airbus, Pratt & Whitney, and SpaceX). These companies operate in the realm of high-budget investments and modern technologies, where the safety and quality of the product come first and production costs come second.
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue, and we hope that you will share your knowledge and the latest scientific research on the topic of "Microstructural and Mechanical Properties of Metal Alloys". As is commonly known, limitations in the use of metals result from their low mechanical properties. Pure metals are characterized by low hardness, low abrasion resistance, and low strength properties. This Special Issue aims to present research on the strengthening processes of metallic alloys and their effects on the properties and microstructures of the alloys.
In this Special Issue, we welcome your contributions, ranging from novel techniques for producing metallic materials to advances in consolidation technologies and the use of recycling to reduce dependency on primary resources. Incorporating recycled materials in research generates numerous benefits on many levels, both for the natural environment and society.
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 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. 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.
