Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Rolling is considered to be one of the most efficient formation processes. It plays an important role in the automated production of many metal foils or strips. The shape and properties of material are important criteria used in the rolling process to evaluate strip quality. Therefore, many factors, such as the metal flow characteristics, the shape detection and control, the work hardening, as well as the size effect, must be researched in detail. According to these mechanisms, there may be opportunities for some better rolling methods. For example, asynchronous rolling, electro-plastic rolling, extrusion rolling, and warm rolling are often used to produce the foils of difficult-to-deform metals. All in all, newer and better processes should be continuously studied by researchers. This will contribute to the quick industrial application of key technologies and the industrialization of rolling products. All these aspects deserve special attention.
This Special Issue provides an excellent opportunity to publish theoretical and experimental studies on metal rolling, especially on alloy steel, magnesium alloys, amorphous alloys, high-entropy alloys, etc. Any new findings on this topic are welcome, such as metal flow rules in asynchronous warm/hot/cold rolling processes, microstructural evolution in special rolling processes, shape detection and shape control, etc.

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.
