Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Superalloys are a group of nickel, iron–nickel and cobalt alloys, which exhibit excellent heat-resistant properties and high stiffness, strength, toughness and dimensional stability at high temperatures, as well good resistance to corrosion and oxidation at high temperatures. Recently, superalloys have become the most common candidates for application in the hot parts of gas turbines, where they are often used as a polycrystalline material for disks or as single crystals for turbine blades. Their microstructure, which is established by precisely controlled the casting, solidification, heat treatment procedures and processing methods, governs the mechanical performance at elevated temperatures. Currently, there are demands for high-performance superalloys via alloy design, microstructural control, emerging fabrication techniques, etc. Contributions related to microstructure design and microstructural control are collected in this Special Issue, together with their relation to the microstructure evolution and mechanical performance of superalloys. The goal of this Special Issue of Materials is to present contributions related to microstructure design and microstructural control as well he relationship between microstructure and mechanical performance of superalloys in different processing techniques processing techniques including casting, solidification, heat treatment procedures, hot-working, cold-working and additive manufacturing. Submissions to this Special Issue are welcome in the following areas:
- New alloy design theory, new strengthening methods or mechanisms for the superalloys.
- Microstructural control and related high-temperature properties of the superalloys.
- Microstructures control and properties of additively manufactured, forged and cast superalloys.
- Microstructural evolution and damage mechanisms of the superalloys.
- Crystal growth and coatings of the superalloys.
It is my pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for publication in this Special Issue. Full papers, communications and reviews related to the mechanical properties and structure control of superalloys are welcome.

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.
