Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Thermomechanical processes are widely used to manufacture critical components of aeroengines and turbine engines, including forging, hot steaming, heat treatment, hot isostatic pressing, coating and so on. Moreover, aeroengine and turbine engine parts often endure thermomechanical loads in practice. Therefore, the thermomechanical performance of metallic alloys is a fundamental factor for the production and service of aeroengine and turbine engines. Furthermore, metallic alloys may exhibit thermal softening, viscosity, rate-dependency, creep, stress relaxation and so on, and microstructure evolution may include recovery, recrystallization, grain boundary sliding, etc. Currently, advanced metallic alloys encompassing ultra-high strength steel, aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy, and titanium alloy are usually processed under high temperatures in the automobile and aerospace industry. In addition, a number of non-conventional processes have been developed for metallic alloys, including the thermal effects of electric fields, lasers, ultrasounds, etc.
In this Special Issue, we welcome articles that focus on the thermomechanical performance of metallic alloys in the manufacturing process or practical applications. Advanced metallic alloy and non-conventional processes are of special interest, with a high implementation potential in producing metallic alloy parts with a high manufacturing ability and a high service life.

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.
