Special Issue Information

Dear colleagues,

It is our pleasure to invite you to join the 2nd International Electronic Conference on Metals, which will be hosted online from 5 to 7 May 2025.

As one of the pillar technologies that support the development of modern society, metallurgy and metals play a crucial role in addressing major societal challenges. In recent decades with rapid technological advances, metallic materials have been extended to many emerging technological fields for a wider range of applications, including not only structural materials but also functional materials. IECME 2025 will present the state-of-the-art of metallurgy and metals related to the following topics:

S1. Computation, AI, and Machine-learning on Metals;
S2. Metallic Materials Chemistry;
S3. Microstructure of Metals and Alloys;
S4. Entropic Alloys and Meta-Metals;
S5. Metallic Functional/Electronics Materials;
S6. Additive Manufacturing;
S7. Corrosion, Wear, and Protection;
S8. Metallic Material Processing;
S9. Metallic Materials for Biomedical Applications.

IECME 2025 will enable you to share and discuss your most recent research findings with the worldwide vibrant community of scientists and engineers in the field.

IECME 2025 will make your presentation accessible to hundreds of researchers worldwide, with the active engagement of the audience in question-and-answer sessions and discussion groups that will take place online.

The conference committee will review the submitted abstracts. The authors of accepted contributions will have their work displayed in an abstract collection. Following the conference, outstanding contributions will be invited to be submitted as a full-length paper for publication in Metals.

We hope you will join us, present your work at IECME 2025, and be part of this exciting online event.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
