Experimental and Numerical Simulation of Metallic Materials

Dear Colleagues,

Although over the last decade a multitude of unconventional materials have been commonly used, the importance of metallic materials remains as high as before, regardless of the branch of industry in which they are used: automotive, aerospace, industry dedicated to medical devices, consumer goods etc. These metallic materials can be conventional materials, such as carbon steels, alloy steels, aluminium alloys, or new materials, such as titanium alloys, rare metals, precious metals, composite materials with a metal matrix, etc., and can be obtained either by conventional technologies or new technologies, such as 3D printing, selective laser sintering or additive manufacturing. The evaluation of the behaviour of metallic materials in different domains can be realized through theoretical research, numerical simulation and experimental research that validates the theoretical results. This Special Issue intends to invite authors to publish their most recent progress through original high-quality work in the field of experimental and numerical simulation of metallic materials. Special attention will be dedicated, but not limited, to innovative materials which are able to improve the mechanical behaviour of a structural component and innovative manufacturing processes of metallic materials.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
