Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Casting and rolling are the key processes for the mass production of semifinished metallic products such as sheets, profiles, wire, seamless tubes, as well as pipes. Along with the chemical composition, they dictate the microstructure and the properties of materials. Process factors such as the type of melt treatment, pouring temperature, solidification rate, casting speed, rolling temperature and reduction, as well as an optional integrated thermomechanical treatment influence the grain size and morphology, the crystallographic texture, and the phase composition of alloys. This enables a wide variation of mechanical and technological properties of a material.
For the Special Issue reviews, short communications and full-length research papers focused on following topics are welcome:
- Manufacturing of innovative high-strength materials by casting and rolling;
- Effects of melt treatment on the microstructural and mechanical performance of cast and rolled products;
- Processes of direct casting, i.e., direct strip casting such as belt-casting and twin-roll casting;
- Microstructural design of materials processed by rolling with an optional integrated thermomechanical treatment;
- Numerical simulation of casting and rolling processes;
- Quality and defects formation in cast and rolled products.
Common metallic materials such as steel, aluminium, magnesium, titanium, copper alloys, or combinations thereof (cast and rolled clads or composites) are considered. Special attention should be paid to the relationships between the process conditions, the microstructural features, and the mechanical properties.

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.
