Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advanced high-strength steel stands as a cornerstone material that powers innovation and progress across numerous industries. From automotive manufacturing to aerospace engineering, and from structural buildings to precision machinery, its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and enhanced properties have revolutionized the way we design and build.
In recognition of this vital role, we are excited to announce the publication of a Special Issue dedicated to "Advanced High-strength Steel". This initiative aims to bring together the brightest minds in the field to share their latest research, insights, and applications.
This Special Issue aims to cover the recent progress in the research field of steel, including phase transformations, mechanical properties, fatigue, precipitation, characterization, thermodynamic simulations, crystallography, materials processing, additive manufacturing, etc.
You are cordially invited to contribute your manuscript to this Special Issue. We enthusiastically welcome full-length papers, brief communications, and comprehensive reviews on these topics. Your insights will enrich the dialogue on this critical subject matter.

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. Crystals 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 2100 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.
