Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the most abundant element in the known universe, hydrogen exists in practically all service environments, such as the core of nuclear fusion reactors; hydrogen production, storage, and transportation; corrosive environments; and fuel cell electric vehicles. Exposing metal materials to hydrogen-rich environments can cause a range of damages, often resulting in premature cracking, ductility loss, bubbling/blistering, and swelling. These damages will deteriorate the performance of metallic materials, posing a great threat to the safety and efficiency of many applications. It is therefore crucial to understand the fundamental mechanisms of hydrogen-induced damages in metallic materials.
With the rapid development of computing of efficient and simulation methods, numerical modeling has become a powerful tool for investigating the microscopic behavior of hydrogen in metallic materials. This Special Issue aims to bring together researchers and highlight the latest innovations and scientific finding in related fields. We invite you to submit original research on the hydrogen-induced damages in metallic materials. The topics of interest in this Special Issue include but are not limited to the effect of hydrogen on mechanical performance, hydrogen–defect interaction, kinetics of hydrogen ingress, diffusion, trapping, and desorption, hydrogen damage mechanisms, and predictions regarding materials properties in hydrogen-rich environments.

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.
