Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The objective of this issue of the journal Metals is to publish work directed at the development of new ultra-high-strength stainless steels. Explicitly, these papers will examine the effects of composition, deformation, temperature, and melt practice on the microstructure and, hence, on the mechanical behavior of these new steels. The mechanical behavior of interest will include strengthening mechanisms, fracture and fracture toughness, corrosion resistance, stress corrosion cracking, and fatigue. The mechanical behavior considered could be at room temperature or at temperatures above or below room temperature. Thus, the effect of test temperature on toughness and the ductile-to-brittle transition would be a possible topic. The papers can be experimental in nature or they can consider the use of modeling in the development of such steels. While the papers will inevitably deal primarily with martensitic stainless steels, some of the new steels could be bainitic. Further, it is possible that new steels could be amorphous in nature, and this would be of great interest.

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.
