Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Following the three previous topic volumes (Microstructure and Properties in Metals and Alloys, volumes 1, 2, and 3), this new Topic is a collection of research contributions that explore the crucial role of microstructure design in achieving desired material properties. This Topic focuses on the relationship between microstructure and mechanical properties, fatigue resistance, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance in metals and alloys. This Topic also welcomes contributions related to welding processes. By providing a comprehensive overview of the interplay between microstructures and their properties, this resource serves as a valuable reference for researchers and engineers working in materials science, aiming to enhance microstructure design and optimize properties for different applications.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.

MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:

  1. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
  2. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
  3. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
  4. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
  5. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
