Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The development of additive technologies in complex components represents a great innovation in recent years. However, additive technologies pose a series of problems for designers, particularly concerning components' durability. Studying the fatigue behavior of the materials used in additive technologies is necessary to obtain increasingly reliable components.

This issue aims to collect works in which the various aspects that influence the fatigue life of a component are studied, for example, the influence of process parameters, the type and concentration of defects, the surface quality, post-treatments, etc. Fractography studies are also important because they distinguish the different failure modes and support failure analysis.

Review and research articles, as are case studies, are welcome, particularly if linked to failure analysis.

Dr. Fabio Scherillo

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.
