Microstructural and Mechanical Properties of Metallic Materials, Volume Ⅲ

Dear Colleagues,

Various metallic materials are applied to industrial fields and real life. The mechanical properties or behaviors of the material are often governed by their microstructural characteristics. It is also possible to improve the mechanical properties of the material through microstructural evolution using various methods, such as heat treatment, surface treatment, and plastic deformation. Therefore, analyzing the microstructural properties of metallic materials helps us to understand the mechanisms of mechanical behavior of the material and to optimize the manufacturing process for the material. This Special Issue covers all aspects of the microstructure and the mechanical properties of metallic materials, ranging from conventional ferrous and nonferrous alloys subjected to different processing methods. Studies focusing on the theoretical simulation and experimental analysis of the microstructural and mechanical behaviors of metallic materials are also welcome.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
