Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
High-temperature structural materials cover a wide range of critical fields, including jet engines, rocket propulsion systems, and heat shields in aerospace; gas turbines, steam turbines, and nuclear reactors in power generation; high-performance engines and exhaust systems in automotives; and furnaces, kilns, and chemical processing equipment in industrial processes.
This Special Issue focuses on the latest developments in research and technology of high-temperature structural materials. We welcome articles, communications, and reviews on the state of the art in the field of conventional, high-temperature structural materials, such as superalloys, refractory alloys, ceramics, intermetallics, composites, thermal barrier coatings, etc. Meanwhile, potential next-generation, high-temperature structural materials capable of withstanding elevated temperatures, such as precipitation-strengthened and refractory medium- and high-entropy alloys, ultra-high-temperature ceramics, advanced intermetallics, and oxide-dispersion-strengthened alloys, are also welcomed. Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Material-design concept;
- Synthesis and manufacturing method;
- Microstructural characterization technique;
- Static mechanical property;
- Creep and fatigue property;
- Oxidation, corrosion, and thermal resistance;
- Predictive modeling.

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.
