Processing and Fabrication of Advanced Materials

Dear Colleagues,

The current Special Issue focuses on recent advances made in the field of materials and their manufacturing, with the primary purpose being to develop a deep understanding of interdisciplinary developments in all aspects related to the processing and fabrication of advanced materials focusing on metals. This Special Issue aims to provide a collection of the latest advances on aspects related and relevant to materials processing and fabrication from both a research perspective as well as an engineering and industrial and application perspective in the fields of:

• Materials
  • Metals and metal–matrix composites
  • Coatings
  • Magnetic materials
  • Metallic glasses
  • Materials for wind-power systems
  • Intermetallic(s)
  • Intermetallic-matrix composites
  • Nanomaterials and nanocomposites
  • Functional materials

• Manufacturing technologies
  • Additive manufacturing
  • Casting
  • Microwave processing of materials
  • Powder metallurgy
  • Machining
  • Surface treatments
• Materials simulations and characterization
  • Process and microstructure relations
  • Process and defect formation
  • Materials properties predictions
  • Component behavior

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.
