Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
High-entropy alloys (HEAs), which belong to the more general category of multi-principal element alloys (MPEAs) or compositionally complex alloys (CCAs), have greatly enhanced the possibility of discovering new materials with exceptional properties. These alloys, through hitherto unusual element groupings, can provide new avenues for innovation and product development. The HEA design concept promises a wide range of compositional flexibility and microstructural complexity. Various HEAs with multi-functional capacities (e.g., corrosion resistance, good structural stability, wear resistance, high strength, high temperature resistance, and so on) have been intensively researched and developed over the last two decades. The vast compositional space offered by such alloys opens new opportunities for unexpected materials development. Furthermore, the application of innovative processing methods (e.g., additive manufacturing, plating, thermal spraying, etc.) to HEAs allows creative design strategies for utilising the alloys' multi-functionality, which considerably enhances the possibility of using these alloys in a range of technically challenging industrial applications.
The Special Issue on 'High-Entropy Alloys Design and Application' will explore the latest developments in this exciting field, including, but not limited to:
- HEA Design;
- High-throughput and CALPHAD based HEA development;
- Computational modelling methods for HEAs;
- Manufacturing and fabrication of HEAs (welding, joining, additive manufacturing, etc.);
- Thin films and HEA coatings (thermal and cold spray, plating, sputtering, etc.);
- Functional characteristics (e.g., HEAs in catalysis, CO2 conversion, etc.);
- Environmental performance (corrosion and corrosion mitigation);
- Mechanical characteristics (hardness, wear, erosion, strength, etc.);
- Non-metallic HEAs ;
- HEA recycling and sustainability.

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.
