High-Performance Alloys and Alloys Manufacturing

Dear Colleagues,

The demand for new materials or materials with superior properties for high-performance applications, such as in automotive, petrochemical, nuclear, defense, and aerospace sectors, increases day-by-day. Such alloys do always have a high emphasis on their structural properties and process correlations. Some special sectors do have specific requirements such as abnormal performance for structural applications such as in superalloys. Few other sectors demand a superior performance for their functional applications. Additionally, not only does designing or selecting such materials play a key role, but also their manufacturing processes and parameters are going to be the key aspects.

Scientific contributions are invited from scientists, researchers, engineers, and industry to disseminate recent inventions and developments in the areas of high-performance alloy systems and their synthesis, characterization, properties, processing, and/or manufacturing. Manuscripts on computational aspects including simulations/modeling are also welcome.

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.
