Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We aim to publish a Special Issue of the journal that presents a set of themed articles on “Kinetics, Thermodynamics, and Novel Technologies in Steelmaking Engineering”. The focus will be on the actual status and developments of the theories and practices applied to steelmaking processes and engineering to discuss new insights into ongoing technologies. Special interest is on the analysis of new approaches aiming to enhance the effectiveness, clean energy sources, and raw materials availability. Our Special Issue will cover relevant topics of interest, such as:
- Raw materials selection for green steel;
- Kinetic and thermodynamic modeling applied to sintering, blast furnace, and Shaf furnace processes;
- Modeling and innovative practices applied to steelmaking processes;
- CALPHAD and kinetics modeling approaches of ironmaking and steelmaking processes;
- Big Data, expert systems, and artificial intelligence approaches for process analysis, control, and new developments;
- New alternative processes for net zero carbon of ironmaking and steelmaking processes;
- Industrial trials aiming at sustainable developments on the green ironmaking steelmaking process chain.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Prof. Dr. Jose Adilson De Castro
Guest Editor
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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
