Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I would like to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue of MDPI Materials. High-temperature alloys have a vast field of application ranging from temperature-exposed components in thermal power plants to combustion engines, gas turbines, furnace applications or even high-temperature fuel cells. These applications demand mechanical properties such as high strength, ductility, specific deformation behavior or resistance against creep and/or fatigue. In addition, the properties of interest may deteriorate during long-term service. Current scientific questions deal with optimizing the production processes, mechanically testing the (long-term) properties, material modeling or linking microstructural features to the macroscopically observable material behavior. The ultimate goal is to achieve a deeper understanding of the material properties by linking fundamental scientific insight to real life industrial applications in order to optimize production routines, improve component properties or increase the longevity of the materials involved.
This Special Issue includes current trends on the topic of mechanical properties of high-temperature alloys, including modeling, testing, and applications.
Dr. Bernhard Sonderegger

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
