Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plastic forming technology is an important part of the advanced manufacturing field. Using this technology, not only can complex shape components be obtained but excellent comprehensive service performance can also be given. These tools are widely used in, for example, aerospace, the automobile industry, high-speed rail and nuclear power. This Special Issue aims to present the latest research on plastic forming technology, including advanced forming processes, theories, experiments and numerical simulations. Original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: sheet forming processes, tube forming processes, forging forming process, plastic forming theory, forming machines and finite-element methods.

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.
