Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Powder metallurgy is an important process to manufacture various products via compaction and sintering of powders. It is widely used to manufacture porous or dense materials. To date, several advanced powder metallurgy technologies have been developed to manufacture high-performance products. The advanced processes of powder compaction and sintering include high-velocity compaction, magnetic pulse compaction, hot pressing, hot isostatic pressing, spark plasma sintering, flash sintering, microwave sintering, and so on. Moreover, numerical simulation has been performed to investigate the powder metallurgy process. Numerical models are usually based on continuous media or multi-particle hypotheses. They are beneficial for the process design or mechanism investigation of powder metallurgy.
In this Special Issue, we welcome articles that focus on the advanced technology of powder metallurgy and accurate modeling of the powder metallurgy process. The multi-physics field-assisted compaction and sintering processes of powder metallurgy especially remain of interest, with enormous potential for manufacturing high-performance structural or functional materials.

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.
