Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is our pleasure to announce to you the Special Issue of Metals entitled “Novel Insights and Advances in Steels and Cast Irons” The success of our previous special issue on cast irons highlights the significance and interest surrounding this subject. In this light, we invite you to submit valuable contributions to this special issue to provide a more comprehensive and critical understanding of cast irons and ferrous alloys.
The aim of this Special Issue is to collect full papers, communications, and review articles concerning the latest advancements and emerging trends in steels and cast irons, with a special focus on technological innovation related to these alloys.
Submissions of works (including case studies, experimental and/or analytical approaches) dealing with recent development in improving the microstructural, mechanical, tribological and corrosive resistance in different industrial fields are also encouraged.
We are pleased to invite you to submit original research articles for this Special Issue to be published in the open access journal Metals. High-quality papers from researchers in the scientific community and industry are welcome.
