Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Titanium alloys are an advanced metallic material, characterized by unique physical and chemical properties—mainly high specific strength combined with very good corrosion resistance. Several groups of structural alloys, including single- and two-phase alloys, as well as TiAl intermetallic alloys, have been developed over several decades. It is accepted that titanium-based materials are used in advanced and key human industrial and economic sectors, such as aerospace, fuel-energetic industry, and medicine. A significant share of the expansion of their use is due to modern manufacturing and processing technologies, such as additive manufacturing (AM) or friction stir welding (FSW) methods.
This Special Issue aims to collect works related to various aspects of research on titanium alloys and Ti-based matrix composites, as well as manufacturing and processing methods and material characterization. With an emphasis on the development of this group of materials, papers in the field will be particularly welcome:
- The development of phase composition and microstructure;
- The development of chemical and physical properties;
- Novel chemical composition;
- Medicine (implants and medical instruments) ;
- Space and aerospace applications;
- New applications (e.g., civil engineering, automotive) ;
- Additive manufacturing;
- Superplastic forming;
- Severe plastic deformation (SPD) ;
- Advanced joining methods (e.g., diffusion bonding, FSW) ;
- Innovative surface engineering.
It is our pleasure to invite you to submit manuscripts for this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.

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 2300 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.
