Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
High entropy alloys (HEAs), also termed complex concentrated alloys or multi-principal element alloys, are a new class of multi-component materials different from conventional alloys based only on one or two major alloying elements. As an emerging field, research on HEAs has attracted worldwide attention from both academia and industry in the last two decades, as evident from the number of scientific journal publications and dedicated conferences on HEAs.
HEAs can be fabricated and processed using conventional physical metallurgy routes and novel additive manufacturing techniques. Because of the effects of high entropy, severe lattice distortion, sluggish diffusion, and cocktail, HEAs are expected to have better physical and mechanical properties than conventional alloys. Concerning the potential for the practical application of HEAs in structural and materials/metallurgical engineering, it is important to have a fundamental understanding of their mechanical properties, deformation mechanisms, tribology, and corrosion behaviours in different environments, high temperature oxidation, and fatigue performances. These are strongly dependent on the processing method of HEAs, as well as their microstructure and phase constitutions. The present Special Issue aims to provide a timely review of research in the rapidly developing subject area of HEAs. We would like to invite you to submit research papers, short communications and review articles to this Special Issue. Specific topics of interests include (but are not limited to):
- Design and processing of HEAs
- Microstructure, phase constitution and mechanical properties
- Deformation mechanism
- Friction and wear properties
- High temperature oxidation
- Corrosion resistance
- Theory, simulation and modelling
- Coatings

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.
