Advanced Metallic Materials and Manufacturing Processes

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue of Metals aims to spotlight state-of-the-art advances in the processing and property enhancement of metallic materials, including ferrous and non-ferrous alloys, high-/medium-entropy alloys, and oxide dispersion-strengthened (ODS) alloys, among others. We welcome original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and short communications that deepen our understanding of the following:

• Fabrication and Post-Processing Methods
  Cutting-edge manufacturing techniques such as additive manufacturing, powder metallurgy, and hybrid processes, as well as heat treatments, coatings, surface engineering, and innovative processing routes designed for complex alloys and ODS systems.

• Computational and Experimental Alloy Design
  Synergistic application of computational tools like CALPHAD, molecular dynamics, phase-field modeling, machine learning, and multiscale simulation frameworks with experimental approaches/validation to refine alloy compositions, microstructural features, and properties.
• Properties
  In-depth analysis of tensile behavior and fatigue performance across a wide temperature range (from cryogenic to elevated temperatures), creep resistance, aqueous corrosion behavior, and durability in extreme environments such as irradiation exposure, high-temperature oxidation, hot corrosion conditions, etc.

By uniting experimental rigor, computational modeling, and application-driven insights, this Special Issue aims to offer a robust platform for accelerating the deployment of advanced metallic materials across high-impact sectors such as the aerospace, energy, nuclear, and automotive engineering domains.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
