Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metallic alloys have had a considerable impact on the development of a wide range of structural applications. Improving mechanical performance, strength in particular, has been the driving force for intensive research in the field of advanced steels and alloys. This can be achieved by means of a suitable combination of chemical composition and thermo-mechanical processing to optimise the microsturutures of alloys. Therefore, in-depth understanding of the relationship between the processing, microstructure, and properties of advanced structural alloys is required. With this context in mind, the aim of this Special Issue of Materials is to provide a forum for publishing high-quality original research articles related to microstructure, texture, and mechanical properties of advanced steels and alloys.
This issue invites submissions that employ various experimental techniques or/and simulations to advance the knowledge of the relationship between the processing, structure, and properties of structural metallic alloys. Comprehensive reviews in the field of steels and alloys are also welcomed.
The following alloys are of particular interest:
- High performance steels;
- Aluminium alloys;
- High-entropy alloys;
- Titanium alloys.

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.
