Metallic Materials and Manufacturing
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue covers all aspects of metals from its materials engineering and technology, as well as their manufacturing. Any type of article aligned with the journal (original research, case study, technical report, short communication, and reviews), within the scope of materials and manufacturing of metals is welcome for this Special Issue. Additionally included are selected papers from the 3rd International Materials, Industrial, and Manufacturing Engineering Conference (MIMEC2017) in Miri, Malaysia (www.mimec.me) and the 2nd International Conference on Materials and Manufacturing Engineering and Technology (CoMMET 2018) in Bali, Indonesia (www.commet.me). Please consider contributing to this Special Issue. Thank you and wishing you all the best.
