Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Foundry is one of the basic branches of production. In every industry of the modern economy, foundry products are used: parts of machines and devices, load-bearing elements, precision elements, etc. Throughout its history, the foundry industry has been constantly developing, introducing new molding materials, casting alloys, processes, foundry tools, quality control systems, energy-saving systems, environmental protection, etc.
Many innovations have not been adequately presented in the professional literature or have been presented locally at conferences and meetings. Therefore, the aim of this Special Issue will be to collect new achievements and progress in one place and to create a “platform” for discussion on new directions in the development of the foundry among authors, reviewers, and readers.
This Special Issue covers all foundry technologies and alloys (cast steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous alloys). Due to the topics covered in this Special Issue, articles on modern solutions in the technology of casting production are welcome. Topics covered may include optimization of foundry production, methods of metal preparation, crystallization, electromagnetic mixing of foundry alloys, quality control, printing 3D processes, reverse engineering, etc.
Once again, we invite you to submit your original research papers or review articles that describe the current state of the art within the scope of this Special Issue, “Achievements in Foundry Materials and Technologies”.

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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
