Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to its outstanding anti-neutron irradiation and superior corrosion-resistance properties, zirconium (Zr) and its alloys have important structural and functional applications in the nuclear, chemical, and biomedical industries. Zirconium alloys are undoubtedly a very suitable candidate for the high-performance requirements of nuclear power materials for fourth-generation nuclear reactors. Zirconium-based alloys have better corrosion resistance than stainless steel, Ni-based alloys, and Ti-based alloys, and their mechanical and processing properties are also very suitable for manufacturing vessels and heat exchangers, etc. In the chemical industry, Zr-based alloys are increasingly used in many highly corrosive devices. We welcome research on the design and preparation, computer simulation, composition and property optimization, and new applications in response to the need for advanced high-performance Zr-based alloys in terms of high strength and high toughness, irradiation resistance, and corrosion resistance. Furthermore, you are welcome to review and comment on the research progress in Zr-based alloys.
We are looking forward to your valuable contribution!
Prof. Dr. Jun Tan
Guest Editor
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. Crystals 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.
