Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With increasing application requierments with respect to temperature, pressure, velocity, corrosion, and radiation, there is an urgent and important need to investigate the damage tolerance of metals and alloys subjected to various extreme environments in the materials science and engineering community. Specifically, the strengthening and toughening of metal materials upon extreme environments, i.e., unveiling the underlying deformation mechanisms, could potentially accelerate the design and development of advanced materials that can be applicable in aeroengine turbine blades, armor protections, polar icebreaking, radiation damage resistance, ocean freighters, etc. Among successful examples, high-entropy alloys or multicomponents alloys have been quickly growing academic hotspots since 2004, which shows that they have great potential as future candidates in extreme condition applications. In a word, for this Special Issue in Metals, we welcome reviews and articles in the areas of principles, theoretical calculation, material preparation and characterization, and applications of metal materials in extreme environments.

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.
