Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plastic deformation significantly impacts the structure and mechanical properties of advanced engineering materials, particularly high-strength steels. How the deformed material responds to applied stresses and the amount of deformation depend primarily on the type of material, its chemical composition, and, consequently, its microstructure and properties. In this Special Issue, we will focus on the impact of cold and hot plastic deformation on changes in the structure and properties of high-strength steels and the relationships between their structure and mechanical properties. All aspects of plastic deformation, from low to ultra-high, are welcome. Moreover, in this issue, we will deal with the physical and numerical simulation of the microstructure and, therefore, the mechanical properties, depending on the technology used and the plastic deformation conditions. This Special Issue will provide a multi-scale approach to better understand the main mechanisms of plastic deformation in materials and their applications.
It is my pleasure to invite you to submit your original research papers, short communications or review articles that describe the current state of the art of Advances in Microstructure and Plastic Deformation of High-Strength Steels.

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.
