Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Additive manufacturing (AM) techniques, feasible for use in customized, small-scale production, are new and significant replacements for traditional manufacturing technologies.
Despite the many advantages of AM methods, including design flexibility, the production of functionally graded parts, and a significantly lower buy-to-fly ratio, aspects such as the development of high residual stresses, and potentially, the formation of detrimental phases and defects in additively manufactured parts, are a matter of concern. Thus, further research is required to overcome the many challenges that AM methods face today.
This Special Issue aims to provide new ideas and present the latest advances in the AM of metallic materials, with a particular emphasis on anisotropic/isotropic microstructural design, in order to optimize structural/functional properties and promote applications of AM.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, a novel design for AM, new applications of AM processes, alloy design, the AM of single crystals, tailoring microstructures (anisotropic/isotropic), customized structural/functional properties, serviceability, the prevention/understanding of micro- and mesoscale defects, residual stresses and distortion, pre-/post-processing technologies and approaches, applications of finite element modeling, and machine learning in AM methodology.

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.
