Innovations in Heat-Resistant Alloys and Metal Matrix Composites

Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to announce a new Special issue “Innovations in Heat-Resistant Alloys and Metal Matrix Composites” related to the development, design, and characterization of heat-resistant metal-based materials. In recent years, heat-resistant materials attract a lot of attention from both, researchers and engineers because of their excellent physical and mechanical properties at elevated temperatures. This Special issue aims to bring into focus the latest findings and innovative approaches in the design and characterization of heat-resistant metal-based materials. Moreover, it will support further studies in the broad field of heat-resistant alloys and metal matrix composites, and accelerate their application in various industries.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but not limited to) the following: development of heat-resistant metal-based materials, characterization of heat-resistant materials, contemporary metallurgical processes, materials behavior at elevated temperatures.

We are pleased to invite you to support this Special issue and publish your work.

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.
