Modern Non-destructive Testing for Metallic Materials

Dear Colleagues,

We are writing to you to invite you to participate in a Special Issue of Metals entitled Modern Non-Destructive Testing for Metallic Materials.

As editors, we are interested in the most recent developments and discoveries in the field of non-destructive testing methods. These may include new microscopic techniques, the latest improvements in X-ray and ultrasonic 3D-imaging, as well as acoustic, electromagnetic, and thermal inspection methods.

All contributions on the latest testing or material characterization methods should focus on metallic materials, at least as their main application. In addition, we intend to cover the full range of spatial resolutions from microns down to the nanometer scale.  Our objectives are the detection of defects and imperfections, as well as explanations of structure–property relationships, in order to characterize materials’ behavior.

We appreciate your particular expertise in one or more of the fields mentioned above. Therefore, we would like you to consider contributing to this Special Issue. Your manuscript will be very welcome and proofread by distinguished experts in the field of non-destructive testing.

Prof. Dr. Bernd Valeske
Dr. Theobald Fuchs
Dr. Ralf Tschuncky

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-anonymized 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.
