Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Steel materials are widely used in various applications due to their low cost and capacity for mass production. A key aspect of material design for steel materials is the control of recrystallization and phase transformation in the manufacturing process. Moreover, the interaction between recrystallization and phase transformation plays an important role in controlling the microstructure.
The recrystallization and phase transformation of steel materials have been studied extensively, and in recent years, approaches such as modeling, simulation, high-dimensional analysis, and machine learning have attracted significant attention. These approaches have led to novel and important findings. Thus, research on the recrystallization and phase transformation of steel materials will continue to develop in the future.
This Special Issue, entitled “Advanced Steel Materials: Recrystallization, Phase Transformation and Microstructure Analysis (Second Edition)”, will focus on the recrystallization and phase transformation of steel materials. I would like to invite you to submit original research articles, reviews and communications to this Special Issue.
Dr. Toshio Ogawa
Guest Editor
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.
