Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since the concept of high-entropy alloys were raised in 2004, entropic alloys and meta-metals have drawn worldwide attention for their vast advantages, including the adjustable elemental composition and crystal structure, good mechanical properties at high or low temperatures, high resistance under corrosion, oxidation, or irradiation environments, etc. At the early research stage, research regarding entropic alloys and meta-metals is mainly focused on the development of high-entropy alloy systems and the exploration on their basic properties, such as the crystal structure, mechanical properties, magnetic properties, and so on. Following this, the elemental and phase compositions are elaborately adjusted for further property improvement, and the mechanisms behind those advanced properties are revealed. Nowadays, based on the above, many methods of entropy alloy design and prediction have been raised and attempts have been made to extend entropic alloys and meta-metals to more scenarios, such as power plant and aircraft engines, nuclear power, sewage treatment, etc.
In this Special Issue, we welcome articles of entropic alloys and meta-metals that focus on elemental and alloy design, in-depth research on the mechanisms of these special alloys, development and optimization aimed at potential industrial applications, and discussions on the practical issues and possible answers regarding large-scale samples, such as phase stability under different environments, segregation, molding, and so on.

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.
