Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The nature of the microstructural changes involved in the production of polycrystalline metallic systems is strongly affected by the variety of technological parameters in each particular step of the thermomechanical processing chain. The mesoscopic transformations, which comprise crystalline and intracrystalline structural rearrangements, are revealed by means of a vast variety of materials characterization techniques as well as a broad spectrum of numerical methods. Both approaches enable understanding the intricate link between the microstructural features of metallic materials and their macroscopic properties and are of key importance in setting up the thermomechanical processing routes. In many instances, the performance of conventionally produced materials is delimited by the bounds of the processing sequence and cannot be further improved due to numerous technological limitations; therefore, investigation of entirely new processes which are still far away from industrial implementation is of crucial significance. It is expected that the innovative processing technologies will shed a novel light on the microstructure evolution and might reveal a potential for new processing methods.
In this Special Issue, we intend to provide a broad range of scientific contributions dealing with microstructural aspects of both conventionally and non-conventionally processed metallic materials. Contributions dealing with the tailoring of microstructural features for particular purposes are of great interest. Interpretation of microstructure and crystallographic texture evolution during production, based on both well-established and recently developed modeling approaches, is welcome.

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.
