Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Permanent magnets play an important role in many technical applications of the modern world, and future challenges such as implementation of electro-mobility or energy change are impossible without powerful magnets. For this reason, a further growing demand of this class of materials is expected in this decade, and improved production processes and characterization methods need to be applied to optimize the microstructure and resulting performance of permanent magnets.
Different features determine the properties of permanent magnets, such as chemical composition, impurities, crystal structure, grain size, presence of minor phases, and their magnetic behavior, as well as local defects. An understanding of the (micro)structure–property relationship is of great importance, and optimization of the microstructure during processing is a key component of permanent magnet research.
The aim of this Special Issue is to collect the latest achievements in the understanding of the relationship between processing, microstructure, and properties of conventional rare earth containing permanent magnets, Mischmetal materials, and rare earth free permanent magnets. There is no restriction requiring only the magnetic properties of this material class, and contributions on other processing- or application-relevant properties can also be published in the Special Issue. Experimental studies and theoretical investigations using simulation and modeling are both 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.
