Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to a Special Issue titled “Additive Manufacturing and Processing of Metallic Alloys and Composites,” in collaboration with Metals, an open access journal published by MDPI. Additive manufacturing (AM) continues to revolutionize the way we design, manufacture, and process metallic alloys and composite materials, opening new possibilities in industries such as the aerospace, automotive, biomedical, and energy sectors. This Special Issue seeks to bring together cutting-edge research and developments in this exciting area.
Scope of this Special Issue: This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements and breakthroughs in the field of additive manufacturing and processing of metallic alloys and composites. We encourage contributions that address fundamental challenges, innovative solutions, and emerging trends that have the potential to significantly impact the way metallic materials are designed and processed via AM technologies.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
- Additive manufacturing techniques: innovations in LPBF, DED, binder jetting, cold spray, EBM, and WAAM.
- Materials for additive manufacturing: design and processing of metallic alloys (e.g., titanium, steels, superalloys), composites, and multi-material AM.
- Processing–structure–property relationships: microstructural evolution, mechanical properties, residual stress, and defect mitigation in AM parts.
- Computational modeling and simulation: modeling thermomechanical behavior, microstructure evolution, and multi-physics simulations of AM materials.
Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit original research articles, comprehensive review articles, and short communications that contribute to the broad field of additive manufacturing and metallic/composite processing. Each submission will undergo a peer-review process to ensure the quality and impact.

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. 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.
