Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Aluminum alloys have been widely used in the aerospace and automobile industries because of their excellent specific strength. Several methods for the characterization of aluminum alloys have been introduced with the increase in aluminum applications, alongside advancements in analysis methods using the latest research equipment. Promoting the understanding of the fundamental aspects of the relationships between processing, properties, and microstructures is important, and the advanced characterization of these alloys would provide confirmative theories such as solidification, phase transition, deformation, fracture, corrosion, and age-hardening behaviors.
This Special Issue embraces fundamental physics as well as an industrial viewpoint for applications in aluminum alloys. Manuscripts relating progressive results are highly welcomed from both academic and commercial viewpoints.

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.
