Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Casting is an indispensable and critical stage in the production process of steel and alloys. This process is complex, involving various factors such as chemical reactions, physical change, thermodynamics and external fields. Furthermore, casting is an irreversible process, and many material defects originate during this stage. Some casting defects, once formed, are difficult to eliminate in subsequent processing, ultimately impacting the manufacturing and performance of products. As a result, casting represents a limiting factor in the production of high-quality steels and alloys.
In this Special Issue, both reviews and articles are welcome, together with technical notes. This Special Issue welcomes contributions of any kind in the field of casting technology of steels and alloys. All approaches will be encouraged, including theoretical, numerical and experimental methodologies. Any phenomena of casting and any processing technology, including ingot casting and continuous casting, are also topics of interest.
It is our pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript to this Special Issue.

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.
