Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metals continue to be a source of innovative engineering materials applicable to almost all industries. Iron, aluminum, copper, zinc, nickel, cobalt, titanium, etc. will continue to be essential components of key metallic alloys for a long time to come. Therefore, the development of metallurgical technologies creates space for the production of metallic alloys with new unique properties. In the production cycle of metal products, all technological stages require a strategic approach. Starting from pyro- or hydrometallurgical reduction processes, through smelting, refining, casting, plastic working, and chemical or heat treatment, the metals initially concentrated in the ore obtain unique features in the final product. Of course, in the era of the circular economy, the processes of recovering metals from secondary sources are of great importance. Currently, the results obtained from experiments on physical models or numerical simulations determine the scientific progress in the field of metallurgical technologies. Both research techniques complement each other and reliably reflect the industrial conditions.

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 2300 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.
