Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the popularization of lightweight vehicles and airplanes, new structural materials have become more and more important, among which magnesium alloy is one of the most important lightweight metallic materials. The processing of magnesium alloy is very important, which decides whether the structure can be manufactured and further be used. As a result, this Special Issue is focused on the advanced processing technology on Mg alloys.
Articles concerning the processing method of magnesium alloys, the characterization, as well as the simulation are welcome. This is an excellent opportunity for scientists and engineers all over the world to get their latest work published on this topic. Any new processing method on Mg alloy, such as stamping, forging, casting, welding, additive manufacturing and the characterization on its mechanical property, as well as the new processing finite element (FE) modeling method are welcome. Therefore, this Special Issue will cover, but is not limited to, the following fundamental and applied research topics:
- Mg alloys;
- Processing innovation;
- Processing control;
- Characterization;
- Mechanical behavior;
- Process modeling;
- Forming, casting, joining, machining;
- Additive manufacturing.

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.
