Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This is a Special Issue for works submitted to Symposium N : Processing, Properties, Modelling and Characterization of Metals and Alloys, part of the XXI Brazilian Materials Research Society Meeting.
The development of a more sustainable society from the point of view of energy production, storage and transport, environmental preservation, degradation control, and the use of natural resources is strongly dependent on the development of new high-performance metallic alloys, such as high-entropy materials, as well as a more in-depth, fundamental understanding of conventional and well-established alloy systems. This symposium is dedicated to the presentation of works that use techniques of the production, characterization, modeling, and testing of metals and alloys for structural and functional applications. Presentations may include the following: mechanical properties, resistance to corrosion and/or wear, properties for energy storage or conversion, thermal barrier properties, and electrical or optical properties, among others. The characterization of complex phases, such as quasicrystalline, amorphous, glassy, nanocristalline, and multicomponent solid solutions, as well as their correlation with properties are also of great interest.

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.
