Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Superalloys are a group of nickel, iron–nickel and cobalt alloys used in aircraft turbine engines. These alloys have excellent heat-resistant properties and high stiffness, strength, toughness and dimensional stability at high temperatures. They also have good resistance to corrosion and oxidation at high temperatures. Titanium-based high-temperature alloys also have outstanding high-temperature strength and oxidation resistance, as well as much lower density. Currently, there are demands for high-performance high-temperature alloys via alloy design, microstructural control, emerging fabrication techniques, etc. This Special Issue focuses on advances in alloy development, microstructural control and processing, the characterization of microstructure and high-temperature behavior, and the physical metallurgy of high-temperature alloys, including superalloys and high-temperature titanium-based alloys. Potential topics may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- New alloy design theory, new strengthening methods or mechanisms for high-temperature alloys;
- Microstructural control and related high-temperature properties of high-temperature alloys;
- Microstructural evolution and damage mechanisms of high-temperature alloys;
- Microstructures and properties of additively manufactured high-temperature alloys;
- Crystal growth and coatings of high-temperature alloys.

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.
