Metals | Highly Cited Papers from 2023 in the Section “Metal Casting, Forming and Heat Treatment”


The “Metal Casting, Forming and Heat Treatment” Section of Metals (ISSN: 2075-4701) focuses on the latest advancements in the manufacturing, processing and heat treatment of metallic materials. This Section aims to deepen the scientific understanding and technological development of casting techniques, metal forming methods and heat treatment processes.

Key areas of interest include solidification behavior in casting, advanced forming technologies (such as rolling, forging, extrusion and drawing), thermomechanical processing, phase transformations, microstructure evolution and the optimization of heat treatment parameters to enhance material performance.

We welcome original research and review articles that address both fundamental insights and practical applications, especially those with industrial relevance and innovation.

As all papers published in Metals are open access, readers have free and unlimited access to full texts. We invite you to explore our highly cited papers from 2023, listed below.
