Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With a growing library of information available from the friction stir welding community, the recognition that solid-state processing may influence different alloys in unique ways is clear. Numerous studies focus on one specific alloy or another, allowing for secondary comparisons of the influence of varying alloys in a friction stir process, but few studies directly evaluate the effect of the alloys on the process.
This Special Issue seeks papers that help to elucidate the differences between alloys that have been processed with friction stir technologies, specifically in the following areas:
- Effects of tooling and process parameters;
- Alloy/material-specific microstructures and textures;
- Unique properties derived from advanced characterization and testing;
- Modeling and simulation results capable of distinguishing alloy specific variation;
- Distortion and residual stress data specific to 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.
