Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advanced alloys are the strong foundation of modern industry. It is a fact that advanced alloys commonly serve as structural or functional materials for innovative designs targeting properties such as lightweight, heat resistance, wearing resistance, etc. Excellent functional properties are important for more attractive and efficient products in terms of improved properties or lower production cost. Consequently, it is a so significant issue how to adjust the microstructure and even the corresponding properties of advanced alloys. Furthermore, it is necessary to explore heat treatment processes, forming processes, surface treatment processes, etc. Through the development of innovative processes, the service performance of advanced alloys and their components can be optimized, and solutions suitable for the needs of modern industry can be created. It is believed that the numerous innovations in treatment processes contribute significantly to the innovative design of advanced materials.
The aim of this issue is to discuss recent advances and new developments in the relationships between various processes and service performance of advanced alloys. The scope of the issue is not only limited to heat treatment processes, forming processes and surface treatment processes, but also includes advanced alloy design, physical and numerical simulation, microstructure characterization, performance evaluation, etc.

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. Materials 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 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.
