Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Additive manufacturing (AM), commonly known as 3D printing, is a newly emerging technology for bringing about revolutionary manufacturing by the integration of design flexibility and the rapid fabrication of complex parts through the bottom-up accumulation of materials. These merits make it widely accepted as a new paradigm for the production of high-end components in the aerospace, automotive, healthcare, marine, and energy fields. High-entropy alloys (HEAs), emerging as a novel frontier in the metal materials community, exhibit superior properties due to the presence of multiprincipal elements and are considered alternative materials for critical components in extreme applications. Over the past decade, the fabrication of HEAs using AM has attracted increasing attention in both academic and industrial organizations for obtaining HEA products with desirable performance and seeking their potential applications.
This Special Issue aims at collecting cutting-edge original research papers and reviews on the latest advances in the AM of HEAs. The topic themes include HEA alloy design, processing parameter optimization, characterization techniques, microstructure–property relationships, process modelling, application advances, etc., specifically for AM.

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.
