Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metallic materials play an important role in engineering fields. The thermal-mechanical processing produces different micro-structural features in metals, such as dislocations, twins, grain size, solute clusters, or precipitates, which determine the mechanical properties of the alloy. Understanding the microstructure-mechanical relationships require in-depth microstructure characterization and theoretical modelling works at the scale from atomistic to macroscopic.
The special issue “Characterization and Mechanical Modeling of Metallic Materials” is focused on papers addressing the mutual relationships between microstructure-mechanical properties and mechanical property modeling of different types of alloys. The materials of interest include but are not limited to the following:
- lightweight alloys;
- high-entropy alloys;
- high-temperature alloys;
- biomedical alloys;
- metal matrix composites.
All classical and modern computational simulation works are welcome.

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.
