Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The 8th Conference of the Hellenic Metallurgical Society (International) will take place in Patras, Greece, from the 14th to the 16th of December 2022. The event is co-organized by the Hellenic Metallurgical Society (HMS) and the Laboratory of Technology and Strength of Materials of the University of Patras (LTSM).

The 8th International Conference of the Hellenic Metallurgical Society highlights the 20th anniversary of the establishment of HMS. To celebrate this milestone, this Ceremonial Conference will be organized as an international event, unlike the previous successful National Conferences of the series.

The aim of the International Ceremonial Conference of the Hellenic Metallurgical Society is to gather people from academia, engineering, and industry in order to meet, discuss, and present innovative international research and developments in the science and technology of all types of metallic material systems.

Prof. Dr. George Lampeas
Prof. Dr. Nikolaos Michailidis

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.

Metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) allows the fabrication of intricate shaped parts that cannot be produced with conventional manufacturing techniques. Despite the advantages of this novel manufacturing technology, the main drawback is the inferior fatigue performance of AM metal materials and parts due to the presence of process-induced defects that act as initial cracks. Reliable fatigue modeling methods that can assist the design and characterization of AM components must be developed. In this work, a computational damage-tolerance framework for the fatigue analysis of the AM metals and parts is presented. First, thermal modeling of the AM process for the part fabrication is performed to predict the susceptible areas for defect formation in the parts. From the processing of results, the characteristics of the critical defect are determined and used as input in a fracture mechanics-based model for the prediction of fatigue life of AM metals and parts. For validation purposes, the framework is utilized for the fatigue modeling and analysis of AM Ti-6Al-4V and 316L SS metals of relative experimental test cases found in the literature. The predicted results exhibit good correlation with the available experimental data, demonstrating the predictive capability of the modeling procedure. Full article
