Computational Methods in Metallic Materials Manufacturing Processes 2025
This special issue belongs to the section "Computation and Simulation on Metals".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The increasing complexity of manufacturing processes of metallic materials causes significant difficulties in their optimization, modeling and control. The most innovative way to modernize these manufacturing processes is to introduce advanced computational methods. Emerging technologies such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, the Internet of Things and cognitive systems have the potential to transform manufacturing processes of metallic materials to a more efficient level.
This Special Issue of Metals will cover recent advances in the modeling, optimization and control of different subprocesses in metallic material manufacturing, including casting, rolling, heat treating, machining, product delivery and quality assurance, while considering the most recent experimentally obtained processing data. Practical applications are especially welcome, and research with results from the industrial environment is desirable.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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-anonymized 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.
