Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to integrate the latest research results of multiscale computational modeling and experimental methods in the mechanical properties and microstructure characterization of metal materials and provide a multiscale communication platform for researchers to promote academic discussion and scientific progress. By combining theoretical modeling, experimental characterization and numerical simulation, this Special Issue will deeply explore the mechanical behavior and deformation mechanism of metal materials at different scales and promote the in-depth understanding of material properties and technological innovation. In addition, the Special Issue also encourages contributions to research in the fields of advanced manufacturing processes, material defect evolution, interface behavior and high-performance alloy design, with a view to provide new ideas and directions for the development of metal materials science and engineering. In recent years, with the development of additive manufacturing, nano materials, lightweight alloys and other emerging technologies, the research of metal materials is moving towards a more refined and intelligent direction. Therefore, this Special Issue pays special attention to the application of multiscale modeling in material design and performance prediction and emphasizes the systematic research from atomic scale to macro engineering application. At the same time, the Special Issue is also committed to promoting the innovation of experimental methods, such as high-resolution electron microscopy and in situ testing technology, in order to achieve a more accurate characterization of the relationship between the microstructure and properties of materials. By pooling the wisdom and achievements of researchers around the world, this Special Issue will inject new vitality into the sustainable development of metal materials science and engineering and promote its wide application in key fields such as aerospace, energy, medical treatment, etc.

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.
