Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
✓ Metallic materials play an important role in industrial production and scientific research and are indispensable for everything from daily necessities to ships and aerospace engines. The limited properties of conventional materials are no longer sufficient to satisfy the demands of increasingly evolving processes. Material innovation is the core element in the field of metallic materials. The emergence of high-entropy alloys provides a new strategy for alloy composition design, which brings great development space to the field of materials. As compared with traditional alloys, this “rising star” in the world of alloy materials has uncommon microstructures and numerous appealing properties, such as great strength, great hardness, rich resistance to corrosion, fracture and fatigue resistance, high-temperature stability, and so on, that outperform conventional alloys. These superior properties of enriched HEAs are extremely interesting for research purposes and various promising potential applications. In addition, the preparation technology of high entropy alloys is becoming more abundant, and the high entropy alloys with different processes have shown remarkable achievements. In a short period of more than a decade, the concept of high-entropy alloys has been extended to high-entropy ceramics, high-entropy thin films, high-entropy steels, high-entropy high-temperature alloys, high-entropy cemented carbides and so on.
✓ In this Special Issue, we welcome articles that focus on the preparation methods of high-entropy alloys and their microstructure modulation and the influence of post-treatment processes on the properties of the final products. High-entropy alloy materials with excellent overall properties especially remain of interest, with high potential for implementation in the current harsh working environments, showing excellent service characteristics.
✓ Suggested themes and article types for submissions

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.
