Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
High-entropy alloys (HEAs) have emerged as a transformative class of materials characterized by their unique multi-principal-element compositions, which often lead to exceptional mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties.
This Special Issue explores recent advances in HEA design, processing, characterization, and applications, with a focus on understanding their underlying atomic-scale mechanisms, phase stability, and performance in extreme environments.
Contributions cover theoretical and experimental approaches to HEA development, including novel alloying strategies, additive manufacturing techniques, and the role of entropy in governing material properties.
Special attention is given to the potential of HEAs in structural, aerospace, energy, and biomedical applications, while additional technological areas can also be included.
By bringing together interdisciplinary research, this Special Issue aims to accelerate the discovery and deployment of HEAs in next-generation engineering solutions.

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.
