Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In order to increase the thermal efficiency of fossil-fired power plants and reduce coal consumption and pollutant emissions, the steam parameters of thermal power units must be increased, an issue which is based on the continuous breakthrough of heat-resistant steels. Some heat-resistant materials with excellent properties have been developed to ensure long-term safe operation of supercritical and ultra-supercritical thermal power units. The service environment of boiler tubes in supercritical and ultra-supercritical units is particularly severe, which involves high-temperature, high-pressure and various corrosive environments. Heat-resistant steels for boilers are required to possess excellent high-temperature properties (creep rupture strength, creep resistance and microstructure stability), chemical properties (oxidation resistance and steam corrosion resistance at high temperature), etc. Heat-resistant steels for boilers have become one of the key materials in supercritical and ultra-supercritical thermal power units.
In this Special Issue, we welcome articles that focus on heat-resistant steels for supercritical and ultra-supercritical boilers. Articles of interest not only include reviews about the introduction of heat-resistant steels for supercritical and ultra-supercritical boilers, but also regular research papers and short communications. Potential topics include the microstructure, properties, processing, service performance, life prediction, etc., of these materials. The articles published in this Special Issue will advance the in-depth understanding of the recent research progress, the development principle, the relationship between the structure and performance, the application of heat-resistant steels for supercritical and ultra-supercritical boilers, etc.

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.
