Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
High-entropy alloys (HEAs), consisting of multi-principal elements, have been attracting extensive attention as promising candidates for structural applications beyond those of conventional metallic materials. The concept of HEAs enables a paradigmatic shift from the conventional alloying strategies consisting of one or two principal elements to unique alloy design with multi-principal elements by opening vast compositional space and providing vast compositional degrees of freedom. Moreover, new physical phenomena and excellent properties for HEAs under various environments have been reported. Examples include severe lattice distortion; the exceptional combination of strength, ductility, and fracture toughness at cryogenic temperatures; the high-temperature strength of refractory HEAs; resistance to grain growth; and thermal stability that is relevant for structural applications and extreme environments.
For this Special Issue, reviews and research articles in the field of high-entropy alloys for extreme environments are welcomed. This includes research related to high-entropy alloys in temperatures ranging from deep cryogenic temperatures to ambient and high temperatures on physical metallurgy, mechanical properties, microstructures, corrosion resistance, alloy design, severe plastic deformation, and industrial applications. We welcome either experimental or theoretical approaches on the above subjects. Hopefully, new discoveries and perspectives for high-entropy alloys and their industrialization will be shared and discussed through 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.
