Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the rapid development of energy technologies and the power electronics industry, electrical steel has played an increasingly important role as one of the most widely used soft magnetic materials. To promote in-depth research and technological advancement in this field, this Special Issue focuses on the latest scientific findings and technical progress related to grain-oriented electrical steel, non-oriented electrical steel, and other specialized types of electrical steel. We invite researchers and engineering professionals working in related fields to contribute and share their work.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Fundamental studies on grain-oriented, non-oriented, and specialized electrical steels, including investigations into microstructure, texture, inclusions, and magnetic properties;
- Research on new products, processes, and technologies for electrical steel;
- Optimization of processing equipment for electrical steel, as well as system integration and performance evaluation in key applications such as motors and transformers.
We look forward to your high-quality contributions, which will support innovation and industrial advancement in electrical steel technologies.

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.
