Topical Collection Information
Dear Colleagues,
In this Collection Issue of Crystals, “Review Papers in Microstructures of Alloys”, we intend to publish high-quality review papers addressing the description, explanation, and/or modeling of the formation of microstructures in alloys. We aim to gather comprehensive and didactic papers covering the phenomena of solidification, segregation, recrystallization, precipitation, order–disorder, displacive/martensitic transformations, twinning, etc. The papers may focus on (i) the effect of elements of the elaboration process, such as casting, forging, and additive manufacturing, on the microstructures, (ii) the methods used to characterize the microstructures, such as electron microscopy, diffraction, and tomography, or (iii) the methods used to simulate the microstructures, such as crystal plasticity, phase field, and artificial intelligence.

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 collection 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 2000 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.
