Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metal/alloy components play a crucial role in modern industry. They are widely used in fields such as construction, mechanical manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, electronics, and medical devices due to their high strength, good conductivity, and heat resistance. Metal/alloy components not only provide structural stability and durability but can also be designed into various complex shapes due to their plasticity, meeting diverse functional requirements. With the development of AI technology, more and more industrial fields have received its support, including the field of metal/alloy forming.
This Special Issue aims to collect recent advancements in the application of AI-enhanced metal/alloy forming. Metal/alloy rolling, forging, extrusion, drawing, stamping, hydroforming, and other processes utilize new-generation AI methods, including deep learning, optimization, and decision algorithms, digital-twin technology, and large language models, needing further in-depth research.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
