Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Magnesium alloy is one of the lightest and most commonly used metal structural materials, having a density of about 2/3 that of aluminum and 1/4 that of steel. Magnesium alloys have several advantages, such as their low density, high specific strength, high specific stiffness, good heat dissipation and shielding, lack of a pollution effect, excellent casting, cutting performance, and easy recovery. Magnesium alloys are thus known as the engineering material with the most potential for green development and applications. Magnesium alloys are already in use in many fields, including motorcycle manufacturing, bicycle manufacturing, shipbuilding, railway industry, metallurgy, electric power production, chemical industry, lathes, medical, fitness equipment, and so on. With the development of technology for magnesium alloy’s preparation, their properties, such as their specific strength, specific stiffness, thermal strength, creep, and other properties, are continuously improved, and its application scope will also be expanded.
This Special Issue of Metals focuses on the relationships between the structure and properties of magnesium alloys. We invite studies on the microstructure and mechanical properties of magnesium alloys.

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.
