Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advanced materials and manufacturing processes play a major role in the strategic sectors. Various manufacturing processes and materials have been introduced for a wide range of applications due to technological advancements in the manufacturing sectors. In addition, globally, all countries are committed to reducing CO2 emissions as well as focusing renewable energy development. The challenge in renewable energy is energy storage. Therefore, a material and manufacturing process must be identified which can withstand high temperatures.
In the aerospace sector, the main focus is to reduce the aircraft's weight; this helps reduce CO2 emissions and improve fuel efficiency. As a result, many new materials are being developed for structural and high-temperature applications. Additionally, the joining of aluminium with polymer is being introduced in various applications in the automotive and aerospace industries.
In this Special Issue, we invite articles on the various strategic applications of advanced materials and manufacturing processes.

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.
