Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The properties of metallic alloys can be controlled via thermal, mechanical or thermomechanical processes. In recent years, researchers have developed advanced materials with significant improvements in their microstructure, mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and biocompatibility. The impact of different microstructural aspects and corrosion resistance on the mechanical behavior of alloys is important to study in order to obtain high-performance materials. The aim of this Special Issue is to present the latest achievements in the theoretical and experimental investigations of the microstructural aspects, mechanical properties and corrosion resistance in various metallic materials subjected to different processing methods; the latest advancements relating to their performance for various applications in the medical field, automotive industry, mechatronics and robotics are also highly relevant.
To further the success of this Special Issue of Materials, we are delighted to open a new Special Issue entitled “Advanced Materials for Multifunctional Applications, 2nd Edition”.
This second volume of the Special Issue aims to address the microstructural evolution and its impact on the mechanical and corrosion properties of advanced engineering alloys. Papers focusing on the processing techniques, modeling of the mechanical behavior, characterization of material microstructure, influence of corrosion resistance and biocompatibility, as well as advanced applications, are encouraged. Full papers, communications and reviews are all welcome.

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.
