Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Magnesium alloys have attractive properties such as high specific strength, high specific stiffness, and recyclability. Because of these characteristics, magnesium alloys are increasingly used in automotive, aviation, aerospace, electronics, and other consumer products. This also places a great demand on the mechanical properties of magnesium alloys.
The mechanical properties of magnesium alloys are closely related to their microstructure, including grain size, texture, precipitates, alloying elements, etc. In order to obtain the expected performance, a large number of scholars have devoted themselves to the development of new alloys and new processing technologies (including casting technology, plastic processing technology, powder metallurgy, 3D printing, etc.) to tailor these microstructures.
The aim of this Special Issue is to provide an open platform to share the latest research results in the development of high-performance magnesium alloys. This Special Issue covers original research and review articles on recent advances in alloy design, microstructure modification, processing technology, deformation mechanism, and computer simulation.

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.
