Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cold spray (CS) technology is defined as a solid-phase particle deposition process without melting. CS technology, which began as a new type of thermal spraying method, has now been established as a new additive manufacturing technology called cold spray additive manufacturing (CSAM). The range of applications of CS technology extends beyond thermal spraying.
The bonding mechanism in the solid-phase particle layering process can be understood as a mechanochemical phenomenon. Bonding is thought to occur when the deformation of the particles, the resulting change in the chemical state of the particle surface, and stabilization by contact all occur in an extremely short time. Understanding and controlling this unique phenomenon play critical roles in the development of this academic field and its industrial applications.
In this Special Issue, we focus on metallic materials in CS technology. We welcome research results that explain cold spray deposition mechanisms based on the various unique properties of metals. Any approach for this purpose is welcome. We expect excellent research results based on your abilities as researchers to think deeply and widely.

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.
