Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the material world, metallic glass constitutes an attractive and unusual class of advanced materials in both fundamental studies and practical structural applications. Their amorphous structure without long-range periodicity means metallic glasses have excellent and unique properties and tunable glass states with different atomic structures and energies. The nature of glass is one of the most intriguing and unsolved issues in materials science and condensed-matter physics. It is known that phase transformations provide approaches to modulate the structures and properties of metallic glass, and they also provide valuable opportunities to gain in-depth understanding of the nature of glass.
For this Special Issue, we welcome cutting-edge research focusing on phase transformations in metallic glass and their effects on the structure and properties of materials. The Special Issue aims to outline the fundamental development trends in phase transformations of metallic glass, including crystallization, liquid-to-liquid transition, glass-to-glass transition, and related engineering applications.

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.
