Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Additive manufacturing (AM) of complex-shaped and hard-to-form metals has attracted considerable interest during the last decade. Hard-to-form metals (HFMs), such as high entropy alloy (HEA), have great potential applications in refraction, energy, biomedical, aerospace industrial, etc. AM technology provides great capabilities for hard-to-form metal manufacture, whereas many technical challenges remain for materials scientists and engineers to overcome.
Due to the ongoing manufacture challenges and scientific findings of hard-to-form metals and high entropy alloys of AM, we invite researchers to contribute to this Special Issue on high entropy alloys, as well as hard-to-form metals and alloys of additive manufacture. This issue is focused on the raw materials, processes, simulation, properties, post-treatments, and applications of AMed HEA and HFM materials. In this issue, we aim to bring scientists of all fields together to advance the field further and explore untouched potential and applications.
The potential topics include but are not limited to:
- Raw materials of HEA and HFM for AM;
- New/modified AM technologies;
- Microstructures, properties, and applications of AMed HEA and HFM;
- AM process and control;
- Modeling and simulation of AM technologies;
- Post-treatments of AMed HEA and HFM.

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 2100 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.
