Research on Forming and Serving Performance of Advanced Alloys

Dear Colleagues,

In various key application fields, metal components with high performance are urgently needed, which leads to research on the forming and service performance of advanced alloys becoming more and more important. Advanced alloy design and heat treatment processes are required to develop alloys that meet different requirements. Through these methods, researchers can create various metal materials with a wide range of properties. In order to improve the performance of metal components, it is also necessary to explore different forming methods, such as hot rolling, cold rolling, and forging, to obtain specific microstructure and service performance. Through the development of innovative forming methods, the forming process and service performance of advanced alloy components can be optimized, and solutions suitable for the needs of modern industry can be created.

The aim of this issue is to discuss recent advances and new developments in the relationship between forming methods and service performance of advanced alloys. The scope of the issue is not only limited to component forming methods but also includes advanced alloy design, physical and numerical simulation, microstructure characterization, equipment and process design concepts, etc. This Special Issue welcomes research and review papers which can describe new research achievements of advanced alloys, forming methods, performance evaluation, microstructure, manufacturing process, corrosion resistance, high-temperature performance, fatigue behavior, fracture mechanics, failure analysis, surface engineering, and related fields.
