Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metallic alloys used in aerospace construction form a class of materials that possess a great deal of variety in composition, properties, and applications that satisfy different requirements of lightweight, affordable cost, etc., and cover a range of service conditions, e.g., corrosion resistance, high-temperature stability under the conditions of oxidation and creep, fatigue resistance, stability of residual stress due to processing, etc. There is a vast amount of the literature devoted to the characterization of these alloy systems that on the one hand presents valuable reference information for design, and on the other, documents the established and new experimental approaches.
In recent years, the development of new solutions for aerospace alloys has been greatly accelerated, both in terms of predicting and refining novel systems, assessing their performance and structural integrity, and making new designs using these material systems. The diversity of aerospace alloys that already exist and are being developed presents unprecedented opportunities for the application of Artificial Intelligence as a means of optimizing properties and performance. Contributions are invited to this Special Issue that describe the use of Machine Learning and other big data processing techniques and evaluate their role in accelerating the emergence of new materials and engineering solutions in aerospace technology.
This Special Issue will include papers that report the advances in identifying new promising compositions and processing routes, along with the new methods of experimental assessment of properties and performance, and the interpretation of results to support rational alloy design.

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.
