Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
High-entropy-alloys were developed based on the conception of configurational entropy maximization, and there have been lots of reports on how high-entropy alloys can break the trade-off between mechanical properties, such as the trade-off between strength and toughness, the trade-off between high brittleness at low temperatures, and the trade-off of low strength at high temperatures. The reported breaking of trade-offs is mainly concentrated on mechanical behaviors. There are, however, other problems that also need to be solved in the trade-off between mechanical properties and physical properties, e.g., the trade-off between mechanical ductility and magnetic properties and the trade-off between electrical conductivity and the strength of alloys. This Special Issue will discuss the methods to solve the trade-off using the high-entropy alloy strategy, which breaks the composition limits and proposes the construction design of alloys using various components. Another important problem is how to make high-entropy alloys have the shape of the expected parts and products, and thus, plastic deformation for solid state formation and the casting from liquid formation will be focused on in the 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.
