Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The current Special Issue focuses on recent advances made in the field of materials and their manufacturing, with the primary purpose being to develop a deep understanding of interdisciplinary developments in all aspects related to the processing and fabrication of advanced materials focusing on metals. This Special Issue aims to provide a collection of the latest advances on aspects related and relevant to materials processing and fabrication from both a research perspective as well as an engineering and industrial and application perspective in the fields of:
- Materials
- Metals and metal–matrix composites
- Coatings
- Magnetic materials
- Metallic glasses
- Materials for wind-power systems
- Intermetallic(s)
- Intermetallic-matrix composites
- Nanomaterials and nanocomposites
- Functional materials
- Manufacturing technologies
- Additive manufacturing
- Casting
- Microwave processing of materials
- Powder metallurgy
- Machining
- Surface treatments
- Materials simulations and characterization
- Process and microstructure relations
- Process and defect formation
- Materials properties predictions

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
