Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is well-known that the microstructures of metals and metal-matrix composites have significant effects on their mechanical properties, while the material constituent, preparation and processing processes determine the microstructures of metals and metal-matrix composites. Therefore, study on the relationship between the microstructure and properties of materials is an eternal topic. This Special Issue will focus on the recent research progress on microstructure and mechanical properties of metallic materials or metal-matrix composites, so as to provide a new insight into the current status and future prospects in this field.
It is my great pleasure to invite everyone to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, or reviews on any aspect of microstructure and mechanical properties of metals and metal-matrix composites are all welcome.
Dr. Xian Luo

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.
