Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Additive manufacturing is different from traditional manufacturing as it allows a part to be built layer-by-layer. Wire-based additive manufacturing is attracting significant attention in industry and academia due to its ability to harness the benefits of additive manufacturing to produce large components of medium geometric complexity. Uniquely, wire-based additive muanufacturing technology combines the use of a wire and energy source to build components in a layer-by-layer approach, both of which can offer significant cost savings compared to powder and alternative fusion sources, respectively. Meanwhile, a high deposition rate is provided, whilst also allowing significant material savings compared to conventional manufacturing processes. Therefore, this topic focuses on the latest developments in wire-based additive manufacturing technology; its scope is to explore this technology and the research into microstructure characterization and mechanical performance. This topic also outlines the primary development trend, engineering application, and numerical simulation of wire-based additive manufacturing methods. In terms of the deposition process, it covers various wire-based deposition processes, including traditional methods and emerging techniques, such as arc, laser, electron beam, friction stir, etc. Submitted articles should cover truly novel methods or technology in the field of wire-based additive manufacturing and processes that can effectively improve the deposited defects, microstructure, performance, and residual stress of components.

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.
