Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Superalloys are advanced structural materials that are mainly used in aircraft engines and also extensively applied in chemical, petrolic, and electrical industries. They are generally strengthened by second phases, such as γ', γ", carbides, etc. Microstructure and its evolution are the decisive factors of the properties of superalloys. Deformation is the important process for preparing products and affecting microstructure at the same time. Advances in superalloys, which include microstructure evolution and deformation behavior, are within the scope of this Special Issue. Their influences on the mechanical, physical, and chemical properties are suitable as well. The results or methods improving the microstructure stability and temperature capacity are typically welcomed.

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.
