Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metallic components are widely used in various industries owing to their unique characteristics, such as their malleability, recyclability, and robust mechanical properties, as well as their excellent thermal and electrical conductivity. The geometry of metallic components can be tailored through a variety of advanced processing techniques. Moreover, the performances of metallic components can be modified through alloy composition design, microstructure control and processing optimization. Given the tremendous importance of metallic components, the Special Issue will provide a wide array of original research articles on the recent development of new alloys, processing techniques and characterization methods for metallic materials, as well as the simulation and modeling of metallic materials.
The topics covered in “Processing, modeling and characterization of advanced metallic materials” include, but are not limited to, the following:
- The development of ferrous alloys and steels;
- Non-ferrous metals and alloys, including Mg alloys, Al alloys and Ti alloys and their intermetallics;
- Particle- or fiber-reinforced metal matrix composites;
- Advanced processing techniques for metallic materials, including plastic forming, casting, joining, additive manufacturing, etc.;
- The microstructure characterization for metallic materials;
- The physical properties and mechanical behaviors of metallic materials;
- The simulation and modeling of metallic materials.

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. Coatings 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.
