Processing of Metals and Alloys

Dear Colleagues,

Metals and alloys have always played a pivotal role in the long history of human civilization. They are not only a cornerstone of scientific and technological progress but also the foundation of industrial development. This Special Issue aims to provide an in-depth discussion of the latest research results, application progress and future trends of metals and alloys.

In this Special Issue, we welcome hot topics in basic research, alloy design and the fabrication of metal materials, including but not limited to the following: the development of new metals and alloys, processing technologies, microstructure and properties, corrosion behavior regulation, and advanced characterization techniques.

This Special Issue provides important information for readers interested in metals and alloys and promotes the research and development of metal materials.

Prof. Dr. Kunkun Deng
