Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The deformation behavior of metals and alloys covers a wide range of phenomena, including elastic deformation, which is reversible, and plastic deformation, which involves permanent changes due to dislocation movement. Creep, a slow, time-dependent deformation under constant stress at high temperatures, and fracture, the separation of a material into parts, are also critical phenomena. Research on the deformation behaviors provides a comprehensive understanding of how these materials respond to various forces, which are important for their application in various industries, from construction to aerospace. Mechanical properties like tensile strength, hardness, fatigue resistance, and toughness define a material's performance under different conditions. Tensile strength indicates a material's ability to withstand pulling forces, while hardness measures resistance to deformation and wear. Fatigue resistance is essential for materials subjected to repeated loading, preventing crack initiation and propagation. Toughness reflects a material's ability to absorb energy and deform without breaking, which is crucial for impact and shock resistance.
Continuous research and development in this field continues to enhance the functionality and applications of metals and alloys, promoting technological and industrial advancements. Therefore, this Special Issue mainly focuses on the deformation and mechanical behavior of metals and alloys. We very much look forward to your contributions.

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. Journal of Manufacturing and Materials Processing is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 1800 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.
