Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The core of physical metallurgy is the processing–microstructure–properties relationship in metals and alloys. Optimum mechanical properties are achieved by obtaining a desired microstructure, which is the result of the development and control of processing routes, as well as careful chemical composition selection. The ever-increasing demand for alloys with mechanical properties fit for purpose that fulfill requirements such as a lightweight design, complex geometry, and endurance in extreme environmental conditions has led to the development of sophisticated processing methods and the incorporation of high-resolution characterization techniques regarding microstructural constituents, even in industrial practices. Moreover, the computational modeling and simulation of processes and microstructures at multi-scale levels is a cost-effective solution, providing insights into how various parameters influence the microstructure–properties relationships in alloy design. Within this context, this Special Issue of Crystals will cover the “Advances in Processing, Simulation and Characterization of Alloys”. The aim of this Special Issue is to bring together experts from academia and industry in order to encapsulate the current state of the art in the fields of processing, modeling, and simulation approaches in manufacturing processes and microstructural evolution, as well as characterization techniques, in order to gain a deeper understanding of properties–microstructure relationships. We welcome submissions in the form of both research articles containing original experimental and/or computational results or review articles.

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.
