Investigations on Mechanical Properties and Corrosion Resistance of Alloys and Compounds

Dear Colleagues,

The literature on investigations concatenating two competitive or cooperative properties is scarce. Distinctive manufacturing routes including traditional and classical routes, as well as other innovative methods, provide different microstructural arrays. It is well known that the resulting microstructures play important roles in both mechanical and corrosion behavior. It is also recognized that the trade-off among the main properties constitute a significant challenge in engineering applications. For this purpose, it is highly useful to concatenate at least two properties in order to show their potential application.

In this Special Issue, a wide range of manuscripts and investigations will be presented. Microstructural characterization and its effects on mechanical and corrosion behavior are expected. Thus, researchers are invited to propose original investigations involving a wide variety of materials. These comprise traditional metallic alloys, and various distinctive composites (e.g., rebar in concretes, Al-based alloys, biomedical components, and lead-free solder alloys) with concatenated mechanical and corrosion analyses.

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.
