Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Abnormal environments refer to high-temperature, low-temperature, high-pressure, irradiated, physiological, acidic, alkaline, high-salt and other corrosive environments. Metal materials have unique metal properties and are widely used at present. Due to the excellent mechanical strength, electrical conductivity, thermal/chemical stability and structural designability of metal materials, their potential applications in abnormal environments are being extensively investigated. Through the specific structural design of metal materials, they can meet their application requirements in specific abnormal environments. There is an urgent need for the development of high-performance and high-quality metal materials for abnormal environmental service.
In this Special Issue, we will address the problem of the preparation, characterization, and operational service or practical applications of high-performance and high-quality metal materials for abnormal environmental service, including alloy design, preparation, synthesis, characterization, processing, performance, service applications of metal materials. Papers may explore a range of aspects of metal materials including (i) laboratory preparation, self-assembly behavior and their applications; (ii) different service applications; and (iii) new mechanisms, intriguing properties, and promising applications in abnormal environments. Our goal is to identify approaches to improve the performance of metal materials and facilitate their applications in this topic. By exploring the particularities of metal material applications in abnormal environments, the limitations and constraints of metal materials in responding to abnormal environmental challenges can be solved, the influence of various environmental factors on the performance of metal materials can be clarified, and performance changes in various environments can be elucidated.
We welcome contributions in the form of original research or review articles in development and the construction of high-performance and high-quality metal materials for abnormal environmental service. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Alloy design;
- Microstructural characteristic and microstructure modification;
- Preparing and processing technologies;
- Performances;
- Service applications.
