Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Non-destructive testing and evaluation (NDT&E) is playing an increasingly important role in modern industry. NDT&E is a method that utilizes the physical properties of materials (such as sound, light, magnetism, electricity, etc.) to detect defects, inhomogeneities, and other technical conditions within or on the surface of an object, without damaging or compromising its serviceability. As essential industrial materials, metallic materials find widespread application in the national economy. Flaws and impairments in metallic materials have a direct impact on the performance of structures or mechanisms. Hence, performing NDT&E on metallic materials is of paramount importance. This special issue is focused on NDT&E of metallic materials via different NDT&E approaches. Both theoretical research and industrial application are welcome, which should be within, but not limited to, the following fields:
- NDT&E.
- Traditional detection methods, such as ultrasound, radiation, and optics.
- Novel non-destructive testing technique.
- Multimode thermography techniques.
- Signal analysis and feature extraction algorithms.
- Advanced industrial applications.
- Laser ultrasound imaging.
- Theoretical and simulation analysis.

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.
