Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metal composites have become indispensable for modern industry and high-end manufacturing due to their unique properties, such as high strength, exceptional rigidity, excellent thermal stability, and superior corrosion resistance. They are crucial in several industries, such as aerospace, lightweight automotive, precision engineering, and biomedical engineering.
This Special Issue on “Advanced Metal Composites: Manufacturing, Characteristics, and Applications” will cover original research and review articles on manufacturing techniques, material characterization, and practical applications of advanced metal composites. It covers a wide range of topics, from fundamental research to industrial applications, including exploring the effects of different fabrication methods on material properties, analyzing the performance of composites in different environments, and exploring future trends and challenges for composites.
In particular, the topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:
- Manufacturing technology;
- Material composition design;
- The design and manufacturing process;
- Microstructure and properties;
- Physical and chemical properties;
- Modeling and simulation;
- Application exploration.

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.
