Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In this Special Issue of Metals, an open access forum is provided for publishing original papers that investigate the correlations between thermomechanical processing parameters and generated microstructures to understand the physical and mechanical properties of superalloys, including nickel- and cobalt-based superalloys. The following aspects of the science and engineering of superalloys are of particular interest:
- Original research studies that relate to the understanding of mechanical properties of superalloys obtained following specific processing/heat treatment route (Experimental, theoretical and simulation modeling).
- Understanding the mechanisms involved in microstructure evolution and phase transformation during the processing of superalloys, specifically as they relate to the understanding of final mechanical properties.
- Nano/micro/macro-structure characterisation and chemistry of superalloys used in power generation, nuclear, aerospace and other critical applications.
- Micro/macro texture devolvement during thermo-mechanical processing of 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.
