Advances in Additive Manufacturing of Metals, Alloys and Composites

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue deals with metallic materials produced by additive manufacturing (AM) such as metals, alloys and metal-matrix composites. The aim of this Special Issue is to cover all the aspects related to recent developments in additive manufacturing including modelling, alloys and process design, structure and properties of AM  materials and post processing treatment. Special emphasis will be placed on the influence of processing parameters on the structure and properties of manufactured metals. Besides, contributions analyzing the effect of post processing heat  treatment and machining on structural, mechanical and chemical properties of fabricated elements  are also appreciated. We intend to include widely understood additive techniques including bed powder and direct deposition methods in this Special Issue.

Therefore, it is our pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.
