Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Radiation tolerance is important for the safe applications of materials in nuclear power generation, fusion energy, space exploration, high-energy physics experiments, and other fields. Radiation damage to metals and alloys usually begins with the production of Frenkel pairs, followed by the aggregation of excessive interstitial atoms (SIAs) and vacancies, resulting in the degradation of the material. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the mechanism of the irradiation effect on the structure and properties of metals. We are pleased to announce the launch of this Special Issue entitled "Effects of Irradiation on the Structure and Properties of Metal Materials". The purpose of this issue is to provide comprehensive insight into the characterization of metal materials after irradiation with neutrons, ions and plasma.
It is our pleasure to invite you to submit your manuscript to this Special Issue.

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.
