Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Titanium and its alloys have become essential materials in a variety of high-performance industries due to their exceptional combination of specific strength, biocompatibility, and corrosion resistance. These unique properties make them ideal for aerospace, biomedical, defence, and chemical applications, where reliability in extreme conditions is essential. As technological demands continue to evolve, the development of advanced titanium alloys is increasingly relevant.
To fully realise their potential, processing steps need to achieve fine control over alloy composition, microstructure, and mechanical properties. However, the processing of titanium is challenging due to the metal’s high reactivity with other elements, particularly oxygen. Ongoing research aims to enhance production efficiency and expand the use of titanium alloys in emerging technologies.
This Special Issue brings together the latest studies on titanium alloys, covering advances in processing techniques, property enhancements, and the expansion of applications. Contributions are encouraged on topics such as novel manufacturing methods, alloy design, mechanical behaviour, and responses to real-world environments. The research presented will highlight the continuing importance of titanium alloys in modern engineering and their growing role in future technological innovations.

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-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.
