Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
High-entropy alloys (HEAs) are a new design concept—alloys which consist of several principal elements (more than three) but no single dominant element, in contrast to traditional dilute alloys. This chemical composition provides properties which are not observed in conventional alloys composed of one or two main components and several alloying elements. These unique effects include a high entropy of mixing, severe lattice distortion, sluggish diffusion, and “cocktail effect”, which contribute to enhancing mechanical, corrosive, and thermal stability properties of the material.
Modern methods for manufacturing high-entropy alloys are not limited by traditional casting but also include additive manufacturing technologies, such as selective laser melting, direct metal deposition, electron beam melting, wire-arc additive manufacturing, etc. Some promising methods for the fabrication of high-entropy alloys are various coating-deposition technologies that significantly improve the properties of the base substrates.
This Special Issue is an excellent opportunity for materials scientists, engineers, and inventors worldwide to publish their latest works on new and prospective methods of manufacturing of high-entropy alloys. Any new methods for end applications in automotive, aerospace, and marine fields are welcome. Therefore, this Special Issue will cover—but is not limited to—the following fundamental and applied research topics:
- High-entropy alloys;
- Additive manufacturing;
- High-entropy materials;

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.
