Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metal-ceramic composites are a family of heterogeneous composite materials composed of metals/alloys and one or more types of ceramic, which combine the good properties of metals and ceramics, such as good toughness, high thermal conductivity, high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, etc., and have been widely applied in many fields, such as aerospace, equipment manufacturing, cutting and machining, etc. Traditional metal–ceramic composites consist of a continuous metal/alloy matrix and uniformly dispersed ceramic particles in the matrix, which can be fabricated by powder metallurgy, casting, in situ synthesis, etc. Recently, metal–ceramic composites with different types of structures, such as laminated biomimetic structures, three-dimensional interpenetrating structures, fiber-reinforced structures, etc., have attracted more and more attention. Meanwhile, different preparation methods, such as freeze-casting, additive manufacturing, infiltration, etc., have been employed to form those different structures that further improve the comprehensive properties of metal–ceramic composites.
In this Special Issue, we are pleased to invite you to submit research articles and reviews focused on recent experimental and theoretical results related to the preparation and structure–property characterization of metal–ceramic composites, which is expected to provide some reference for the further research and the development of metal–ceramic composites.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
