Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to announce the launch of a Special Issue on "Symmetry/Asymmetry in Manufacturing and Machining of Advanced Materials". The manufacturing and machining of advanced materials are crucial to rapid development in the industrial field and play a vital role in aerospace, aviation, navigation, transportation, and other industries. Advanced manufacturing and machining technologies are the foundation for the high-performance materials used in these industrial fields and are essential for the rapid development and upgrading of these materials. The purpose of this Special Issue is to uncover the profound impact of symmetry/asymmetry in the manufacturing and machining of advanced materials, revealing emerging trends and cutting-edge research. We invite researchers from these fields to submit their innovative work in the following areas:
- Continuous casting;
- High-pressure casting;
- Squeeze casting;
- Direct-chill casting;
- Centrifugal casting;
- Counter-pressure casting;
- Spray forming;
- Additive manufacturing;
- Semi-solid forming;
- Powder sintering;
- Heat treatment;
- Extrusion;
- Forging;
- Rolling;
- Equal channel angular pressing;
- Drawing;
- Bending;
- Electromagnetic forming;
- Hydroforming;
- High-pressure torsion;
- Welding;
- Surface treatment;
- Electrochemistry;
- Corrosion;
- Cast-rolling;
- Stamping.
We encourage researchers to submit their original research articles, reviews, or perspectives that explore the role of symmetry and asymmetry in the manufacturing and machining of advanced materials. This Special Issue provides researchers with an opportunity to share novel insights, methodologies, and applications, shaping the future of the field.

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. Symmetry 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 2400 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.
