Special Issue Information
With the requirements of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, the demand for clean energy is increasing, and related industries have developed rapidly, such as hydrogen energy, nuclear energy, etc. During the preparation, storage, and transportation of these clean energy sources, a large number of stainless steel thick plates with excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical properties is required. Developing stainless steel thick plates with excellent comprehensive performance for clean energy has become one of the current important research hotspots. Research has shown that grain boundary characteristics and microstructure have a significant impact on the mechanical properties or corrosion resistance of stainless steel thick plates. The processing technology is closely related to the grain boundary characteristics and microstructure of the material. It is necessary to study the relationship between processing technology, microstructure, and properties in order to develop stainless steel thick plates with excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical properties.

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. Crystals 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.
