Metals | Top 10 Highly Cited Papers in 2022 in the Section “Metal Failure Analysis”

The “Metal Failure Analysis” Section of Metals (ISSN: 2075-4701) covers a broad field of failure processes. The main issue in these processes is related to the correlation of failure with the structure and microstructure of metals and metal welds with their specific properties. Three main issues are related to metal failure analysis:

The first issue involves the prediction of failure based on the structural and microstructural characterization of metals, alloys, and their welds;
The second issue concerns the rehabilitation of metals, alloys, and their welds;
The third issue is the industrialization of the failure monitoring and metal rehabilitation process.

As all articles published in our journal are in an open access format, you have free and unlimited access to the full texts. We welcome you to read the top ten selected papers published in 2022 listed below:
