Metallurgy-Processing-Properties Relationship of Metallic Materials

Dear Colleagues,

It is our pleasure to announce the upcoming Special Issue titled “Metallurgy-Processing-Properties Relationship of Metallic Materials” in the esteemed journal of Crystals. The intricate interplay between metallurgical processes and the resultant properties of metallic materials are crucial for innovations across a broad spectrum of industries.

Recent technological advancements and research have increasingly focused on how metallurgical processes influence the microstructure and properties of materials. This Special Issue aims to capture cutting-edge developments in the understanding of phase transformations, mechanical properties, and the design and optimization of new alloys. It will cover a variety of topics including innovative metallurgical techniques, advances in processing methods, and the consequent enhancements in material properties that these methods facilitate.

We invite contributions from scientists and engineers in fields such as materials science, mechanical engineering, and industrial chemistry, among others. This Special Issue seeks original research articles and reviews that provide new insights into the theoretical and practical aspects of metallurgy.

Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Innovations in alloy development;
• Impact of processing on microstructural characteristics;
• Advances in mechanical testing and characterization techniques;
• Phase transformation and phase diagram of metallic and slag systems;
• Theoretical modeling and simulation of metallurgical processes;
• Case studies on the application of processed metallic materials in various industries.

We look forward to your insightful contributions to deepen the understanding of the metallurgy-processing-properties relationship in metallic materials.

Dr. Junjie Shi
Guest Editor

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.
