Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Materials, “Microstructure Evolution and Mechanical Properties of Metals and Building Materials”, will focus on modern materials used in materials engineering and civil engineering.
Mechanical engineering and civil engineering are placing increasingly higher demands on modern functional and construction materials. These requirements are related, among other things, to achieving very good mechanical, anti-corrosion, and anti-wear properties or the operating costs of these materials.
In this proposed Special Issue, we draw attention to the need to develop modern metallic materials and the processing of these materials through the evolution of their microstructure.
Part of the Special Issue may be dedicated to amorphous material. Amorphous alloys are a very interesting group of materials. Due to their excellent mechanical properties and the lack of defects caused by the presence of grains and their boundaries, these materials can be used instead of crystalline materials in many fields of technology. We hope that this Special Issue will include works focusing on new ways of using these materials in civil engineering.
The Special Issue of “Microstructure Evolution and Mechanical Properties of Metals and Building Materials” concerns all aspects related to the structure and mechanical properties of conventional alloys, amorphous alloys, and buildings materials. We welcome articles related to microstructure evolution metals alloys and building materials, such as thermal treatment or the application of coatings and thin layers. It is our pleasure to invite submissions of manuscripts for this Special Issue.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- Reprint: MDPI Books provides the opportunity to republish successful Special Issues in book format, both online and in print.
