Advances in Mechanical Properties and Structure of Metal and Metal Composites

Dear Colleagues,

Metal and metal composites are widely used in many important fields such as petrochemical, marine engineering, energy conservation and environmental protection, thermal power and nuclear power, construction, bridges, transportation, etc. With the rapid development of modern industrial technology and the increasingly stringent demand for low-carbon, energy saving and environmental protection, the market demand for metals and metal composites will continue to increase, which also puts forward higher requirements for their mechanical properties. Therefore, the topics of this special issue will mainly cover but are not limited to the advances in mechanical properties (tensile, impact, compressive, fatigue, creep, tribological, etc.) and structure of metal and metal composites. The main objective, thus, will be to present the latest results in the area of metal and metal composites to the research community worldwide.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
