Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, titled “Progress in Plastic Deformation of Metals and Alloys (Third Edition)”, serves as a continuation of our previous editions, thoughtfully focusing on the engineering aspects of plastic deformation technology that play a crucial role in shaping the structure and mechanical properties of advanced engineering materials. This process encompasses not only the modification of geometric shapes but also significant structural and phase changes. In this Third Edition, we invite contributions that examine emerging trends and advancements in both hot and cold plastic deformation of metals and alloys, emphasizing the important relationships between plastic deformation, material structure, and mechanical properties. We welcome submissions that address the diverse facets of plastic deformation, from low to ultra-high strain, as well as innovative methodologies, technologies, and applications within this expansive field. Furthermore, we aim to cover various critical topics, including thermomechanical processing, hot rolling, heat treatment following plastic deformation, and both physical and numerical simulations, along with structural characterization. This Special Issue aspires to foster a nuanced understanding of the mechanisms underlying plastic deformation in materials and their application in practice.
We cordially invite you to submit your original research papers, short communications, or review articles that align with the current state of knowledge in the scope of this Special Issue.
Dr. Wojciech Borek

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.
