Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) steel is a kind of thermal efficiency material at a high temperature. ODS steels have a potential to be widely applied in power plants: Mainly advanced nuclear power plants, fuel cladding of light water reactors and fast reactors, as well as blanket structural material of fusion reactors. In recent decades, ferrite and martensitic Fe-base ODS steels have been more frequently investigated. In this Special Issue, we aim to cover a wide scope of studies, including their fabrication, irradiation and welding processes to control the structural and mechanical properties, and even their application in environmental effects.
(I) Fabrication: Mechanical alloying, hot extrusion, hot isostatic pressing (HIP), spark plasma sintering (SPS), hot rolling, cold rolling, annealing, etc.;
(II) Irradiation: Simulated ion irradiation and neutron irradiation, structure stability and mechanical property changes;
(III) Welded joints: Welded processing and mechanical properties;
(IV) Structural control: Oxide particle formation, dispersion morphology and its coherency with matrix, recrystallization of ferrite, α/γ phase transformation, etc.;
(V) Mechanical properties: Particle-dislocation interaction, grain boundary sliding, tensile and creep properties, etc.;
(VI) Environmental effects: Oxidation resistance, Na corrosion, Pb-Bi corrosion, etc.
Both numerical and experimental contributions will be welcomed to make a high quality Special Issue on “Oxide Dispersion Strengthened Steels” in Metals. We invite all researchers to publish their advanced investigations on ODS steels and alloys/superalloys.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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-blind 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.
