Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The dynamic industry development is demanding increasingly high requirements for current constructions and aspects related to the expected working conditions and existing needs of workers, thus supporting and directing advancements in the field of material engineering and favouring the production, testing, and analysis of new materials. The modern and advanced engineering of materials allows for the design of more advanced, high-strength, safe-to-use, energy-saving constructions, characterised by significantly better corrosion resistance, flame resistance and higher mechanical strength compared to previous materials that were used until recently. Contemporary trends in material engineering regarding metallic materials, are mainly characterised by a reduction in their grain size, structure modifications using thermal, chemical, and mechanical treatments, as well as a decrease in the specific weight of finished elements using light metal alloys, such as those containing aluminium, magnesium, and titanium. This Special Issue will focus on the influence of special treatment processes on the evolution of the microstructures, precipitations and the properties of metallic alloys.

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 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.
