Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ni-based superalloys play a critical role in aeroengines, gas turbines, and petrochemical engineering, ensuring good high-temperature performance and stability. With the development of modern industry, the service temperature and component size of superalloys are increasing. In order to meet the increasing requirements of advanced aerospace engines, superalloys with higher-temperature capabilities are urgently needed. The complexity of manufacturing superalloys is also increasing, including the use of melting, hot deformation, and heat treatment processes. The coordination between the microstructure and properties of superalloys is also important.
This Special Issue aims to address the latest research devoted to the manufacturing process and microstructure control of Ni-based superalloys, especially those used as sustainable materials for aerospace, energy (e.g., nuclear), gas turbines, and other applications.

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.
