Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
High entropy alloys, as a new type of metallic structural material, have attracted much attention due to their excellent comprehensive properties. Nevertheless, with the rapid development of modern sophistic equipment manufacturing, materials scientists and metallurgists are expending continuous efforts to improve the comprehensive properties of metallic materials used in components in order to meet the requirements of increasingly demanding service environments. At present, strengthening and toughening is a hot topic in the research field of high/ medium entropy alloys, with a large number of related publications every year since the concept of high entropy alloy was initially proposed in 2004. The mechanical properties of high/medium entropy alloys strongly depend on their microstructure, which is determined by processing methods (involving casting, forging, additive manufacturing, and power metallurgy) as well as subsequent heat treatment, thermomechanical treatment, irradiation, etc.
This Special Issue will focus on new and progressive results in the research of high/medium entropy alloys, and included articles can be studies involving (but not limited to) processing, phase transformation, strengthening and toughening of high/medium entropy alloys. Moreover, reviews of fundamental mechanisms underlying microstructural evolution, deformation behaviors, and their applications are sought. We welcome manuscripts from both fundamental scientific researchers and authors associated with industrial companies involved in the field.

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.
