Metals Deformation Processes: Fundamental and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Metal deformation is one of the most prevalent research topics in materials science. Controlling a metal material through a specific deformation process can allow it to exhibit the expected service performance and design configuration. The application of metal materials and their components has played an extremely important role in the development of human society and civilization in the past. In the future, it still plays an irreplaceable role in the sustainable development of social civilization. Optimizing on the basis of traditional materials and their deformation methods, or developing new metal materials and deformation processes, is crucial to social development.

Therefore, the content of this Special Issue "Metals Deformation Processes: Fundamental and Applications" not only focuses on traditional metal structural materials (such as steel, aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy, titanium alloy, etc.), but also on some new metal materials (such as superalloys, high-entropy alloys, etc.), as well as theoretical and applied studies on the deformation behavior of the above-mentioned materials (such as stress–strain, recovery/recrystallization, defects, texture, forging, rolling, failure, etc.). This Special Issue aims to provide a dedicated platform for sharing past achievements and future directions in the field of advanced metallic materials and their deformations. We welcome relevant review articles and original research articles through experimental techniques or theoretical approaches.

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.
