Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

It is our pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript to the forthcoming Special Issue “Advanced Technologies in Metal Matrix Composites” of the international peer-reviewed open access Metals journal.

This Special Issue is devoted to advanced technologies related to metal matrix composites (MMCs). MMCs, due to their physical and mechanical properties, are important in different industries such as railway, construction and automotive. The combination of different constituents in their structures makes them suitable for some specific applications including wear resistance, energy absorption, load bearing and decoration. The specialists in this field are invited to submit their experimental and numerical research results related to recently developed MMCs. MMCs using different metallic matrix alloys and manufactured with different techniques will be considered for publication in this issue.

The current Special Issue will provide a forum for experts to share the manufacturing techniques, investigation, and applications of MMCs. Research and review articles, along with short communications, are invited for consideration in this Special Issue.

If you have any questions or need further information about this Special Issue, please feel free to contact us.

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.

In the field of condensed matter physics, as new quantum materials, topological semimetals have a special topological energy band structure and nontrivial band crossings in the energy band, which will have many excellent topological properties, such as internal insulation of topological insulators and the presence of conduction electrons on the surface; this makes topological semimetals exhibit wider application prospects in electronic devices. So far, the experimental synthesis of topological semimetals was performed using physical methods to synthesize bulk single crystals, which is not conducive to the commercial application of micro and small devices. Weyl semimetal Co3Sn2S2 with shandite structure was successfully synthesized experimentally by a green and environmentally friendly hydrothermal method. Adjusting its reaction temperature, molar atomic ratio of elements and annealing temperature, and other experimental conditions, we analyze the crystal structure and physical properties of Co3Sn2S2, with the nanocrystal size being about 200 nm. We found that the Co3Sn2S2 synthesized by the hydrothermal method has a Curie temperature at 100 K to undergo ferromagnetic transition. Full article

Due to their excellent properties, the requirement for materials with higher characteristics has transformed primary alloy into composite materials. Composites are particularly essential for various applications in numerous engineering purposes because of their superior mechanical, physical, and machining qualities. Compared to traditional materials, aluminum composite has various advantages and superior characteristics. To reduce production costs and obtain the desired properties, the researchers developed a hybrid aluminum matrix composite (HAMC), an AMC with two or more types of reinforcement. Further studies were conducted to improve the qualities and manufacturing processes of composites to improve their properties. Various methods are available to HAMC manufacturing, and different manufacturing methods result in different characteristics of HAMC composites, viewed from physical properties, mechanical properties, and production cost. In addition, differences in the type, size, and amount of reinforcement produce various hybrid composite properties, especially in the physical properties, mechanical properties, and tribological behavior of HAMC. This work presents a comprehensive review of recent progress in HAMC study with various reinforcement particles, manufacturing techniques, physical, mechanical, and tribological properties of HAMC. On the other side, this work provides discussion for application, challenges, and future work conducted for HAMC development. Full article
