Properties and Behavior Control of Metallic Materials at High Temperatures

Dear Colleagues,

The majority of metallic materials have a history of high temperature treatment. Either through liquid to solid transformation or high-temperature deformation, and this history controls the properties and behavior of these materials.

This Special Issue aims to present the latest research related to advanced techniques for controlling the properties of metallic materials, by controlling the high-temperature treatment of them. Our aim is to have a collection of papers that talk about how we can enhance the properties of metallic alloys through controlling the casting, solidification, high-temperature deformation, and/or high-temperature treatment of metallic materials. Also, we are keen to look at the performance of metallic materials in high-temperature atmospheres, and how we can enhance this performance.

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.
