Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue entitled “The Design, Preparation, and Mechanical Properties of New Metallic Materials and Alloys (2nd Edition)” in Materials.
Over the years, tremendous developments have been advanced in the field of metallic materials and alloys, leading to the creation of new materials with enhanced properties and applications. This Special Issue aims to showcase recent advancements in the design, preparation, and knowledge of the mechanical properties of metallic materials and alloys.
We are seeking original research papers, reviews, and perspectives that encompass a wide range of topics related to this theme. Potential areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- The design and synthesis of new metallic materials and alloys;
- Novel processing techniques and approaches for material preparation;
- Characterization techniques for analyzing mechanical properties;
- Mechanical behavior and performance evaluation of metallic materials and alloys;
- The multiscale modeling and simulation of mechanical properties;
- Advanced testing methods for assessing mechanical properties;
- The application and industrial significance of new metallic materials.
We particularly welcome contributions from researchers working in academia, industry, and research institutes. We believe that this Special Issue will provide a platform for researchers to share their latest findings, exchange ideas, and promote collaboration within the field.
The first volume of this Special Issue was a success and included many cutting-edge research achievements. We look forward to your latest achievements being included in the second volume of 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.
