Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Powder metallurgy (PM) plays an increasingly vital role in the development of advanced metallic materials with tailored microstructures and superior properties. This Special Issue, entitled "Novel Insights into Powder Metallurgy of Metallic Materials", aims to compile cutting-edge research and reviews that highlight recent breakthroughs and innovative approaches in this dynamic field. We welcome contributions that explore novel powder synthesis techniques, advanced consolidation methods such as spark plasma sintering and hot isostatic pressing, microstructure control across multiple scales, and the understanding of structure–property relationships in PM alloys and composites. Topics of interest also include the development of high-performance materials for extreme environments, the integration of computational modeling and machine learning in process optimization, and the advancement of sustainable PM manufacturing practices. This Issue seeks to provide a platform for sharing new scientific insights and technological advances that push the boundaries of powder metallurgy, fostering its application across aerospace, automotive, energy, and biomedical sectors.

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.
