Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nickel-based superalloys and titanium alloys are widely used to fabricate key components for aerospace and aeroengines. With the increase in the requirements regarding performance and temperature, a significant amount of attention has been given to alloy design and microstructure control for nickel-based superalloys and titanium alloys. With the aim to encourage the application of the latest research findings in the field of aerospace and aeroengines, this Special Issue mainly focuses on microstructure control (including phase transformation mechanism, texture evolution, recrystallization, etc.) during thermal manufacturing (hot forging, rolling, extruding, etc.) and serving processes (tension, compression, creep, etc.). Additionally, papers that describe research work on alloy design, such as composition optimization, interstitial element control, and multiscale calculation, are also invited to this issue.

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.
