Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metal additive manufacturing has been extensively studied for its distinctive advantages. One of the newly emerging strategies is solid-state additive manufacturing. Being a thermomechanical process that does not involve melting and solidification, solid-state additive manufacturing shows the ability to process all kinds of metallic materials without considering their weldability. In addition, unlike the columnar grains stemming from epitaxial growth in laser-powder-based additive manufacturing, equiaxed grains are typically observed in the as-fabricated parts (additive friction stir deposition) or components after heat treatments (cold spray additive manufacturing), which leads to favorable isotropic mechanical properties for structural applications. Furthermore, solid-state additive manufacturing is promising for industrial production owing to its fast and scalable manufacturing features. For the above reasons, solid-state additive manufacturing is continuing to attract interest in both academia and industry.
This Special Issue calls for full research papers, communications, and review articles on recent progress and new developments in the composition–processing–structure–property relationships of solid-state additive manufacturing, which includes but is not limited to additive friction stir deposition, cold spray additive manufacturing, and friction stir additive manufacturing. All aspects related to alloy design, sample preparation, heat treatment, experimental characterization, numerical simulation, and machine learning are covered.

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.
