Study on Phase Transformation and Deformation of Metallic Materials
This special issue belongs to the section "Metal Casting, Forming and Heat Treatment".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Phase transformation is a very common phenomenon in metallic materials. It was activated in several circumstances, such as temperature variations or deformation. For instance, the well-known TRIP (transformation-induced plasticity) effect involves phase transformation during deformation and simultanesouly enhances plasticity. During high-temperature deformation of steels, the austenite phase transforms into the ferrite phase, a phenomenon known as dynamic transformation and used to produce ultrafine grained ferrite steels.
The current Special Issue welcome articles that focus on phase transformation during thermomechanical processing of metallic materials (e.g., annealing or deformation). It will provide a comprehensive understanding of the fundamentals of phase transformation during thermomechanical processing.

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. Metals 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 2600 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.
