Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys are currently the lightest structural metals in engineering applications, with characteristics of high specific strength/stiffness, good damping performance, and excellent electromagnetic shielding performance. Also, it is an important material selection for lightweight components in aerospace, defense, and military industries.
At present, many high-end manufacturing industries have put forward the demands for the use of Mg alloys with uniform high strength and toughness. It has been proven an effective method to prepare Mg alloys with high comprehensive mechanical properties through fine-grained strengthened mechanisms by plastic deformation. Furthermore, the mechanical properties of Mg alloys can be further improved by regulating the size/distribution of the second phase and weakening the texture.

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. Metals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
