Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to provide the most recent advances in the manufacturing processes of metallic materials and to identify directions both in experimental and numerical research, including the requirements for sustainable technologies and processes. A key aspect is proper process design in order to guarantee the compliance of the final product with the intended functionality, while at the same time minimizing resource usage.
The Special Issue will cover, but will not be limited to, the following topics:
- Formability in metal forming processes;
- Modeling and designing of forming and joining processes;
- Additive, subtractive, and hybrid manufacturing;
- Emerging manufacturing processes;
- Intelligent metal processing technologies;
- Formaing processes of lightweight metals;
- Product design and process optimization;
- Mechanical performance of products;
- Mechanical joining processes;
- Bonding and special rolling processes.

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. Metals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
