Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to their inherently light weight, Mg alloys are considered one of the most attractive structural materials for mobile goods, such as personal vehicles and portable devices. However, industrially using Mg-based products in a variety of weight-sensitive components is still rather limited because commercial Mg alloys have several drawbacks, especially in strength, formability, and corrosion resistance. The high production cost of wrought Mg products is also a barrier to the widespread industrial implementation of Mg-based materials.
Thus far, extensive efforts in alloy development have been made to cope with these challenges and widen the application fields for Mg alloys. For example, Mg alloy systems containing Ca, RE, or Sn as the primary solute have been developed to satisfy the industrial requirements for more enhanced creep resistance than conventionally available Mg alloys. Furthermore, additions of some RE elements or Ca have been found to be influential in enhancing the room temperature formability of Mg or its alloys.
The scope of this Special Issue includes recent advances in the development of novel Mg alloys with superior physical, mechanical, or anticorrosion properties to conventional Mg alloys and interdisciplinary works aimed at understanding the scientific aspects underlying the highly enhanced performance of newly designed Mg alloys.

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.
