Submission received: 18 September 2024 / Accepted: 24 September 2024 / Published: 9 October 2024
The journal retracts the article, “Effect of Final Rolling Temperature on Microstructures and Mechanical Properties of AZ31 Alloy Sheets Prepared by Equal Channel Angular Rolling and Continuous Bending” [1], cited above.
Following publication, the authors contacted the Editorial Office to raise concerns related to redundancy and the improper reuse of figures from one of their previous articles [2].
Adhering to our standard procedure, the Editorial Office and Editorial Board conducted an investigation that confirmed the following image duplications without the appropriate citation or permission:
Figure 4c in paper [1] is duplicated as Figure 3c in published paper [2].
Figure 7c in paper [1] is duplicated as Figure 6c1 in published paper [2].
Figure 7f in paper [1] is duplicated as Figure 6c2 in published paper [2].
Figure 8c in paper [1] is duplicated as Figure 3f in published paper [2].
The authors previously published Correction [3], which did not include the overlap specified above.
As a result, the Editorial Office, Editorial Board, and authors have decided to retract this article as per MDPI’s retraction policy (https://www.mdpi.com/ethics#_bookmark30, accessed on 8 April 2024).
This retraction was approved by the Editor-in-Chief of the Materials journal.
The authors have agreed to this retraction.
