Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Titanium and its alloys hold irreplaceable strategic value in aerospace, marine engineering, biomedical fields, and other critical industries because of their high specific strength, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. However, the efficient development and high-value utilization of titanium resources still face challenges such as difficult mineral separation, high energy consumption in metallurgy, and complex material processing. This Special Issue focuses on full-industry-chain technological innovations in titanium resources, covering three core directions: mineral processing, green metallurgy, and material design and application. These areas aim to drive the titanium industry toward low-carbon practices, intelligent manufacturing, and circular economy models.

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.
