Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
High Entropy Alloys (HEAs) have gained significant attention due to their exceptional mechanical properties, thermal stability, and corrosion resistance, making them promising candidates for structural and functional applications. This Special Issue aims to explore the latest advancements in HEAs, focusing on their processing, microstructural evolution, and deformation mechanisms under various loading conditions. Topics of interest include novel fabrication techniques such as additive manufacturing and severe plastic deformation, phase transformations, strengthening mechanisms, and the impact of composition and microstructure on mechanical behavior. Additionally, studies on HEAs’ response to extreme environments, including high strain rate loading, fatigue, and wear resistance, are highly encouraged. By bringing together researchers from diverse disciplines, this issue seeks to advance HEAs' fundamental understanding and practical applications.

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.
