Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, entitled “Nanostructure Evolution in Duplex Stainless Steels,” explores the complex changes that occur at the nanoscale in these materials. This topic is of great interest in materials science and engineering due to the unique properties of duplex stainless steels, which combine high strength with good corrosion resistance.
The evolution of nanostructures in duplex stainless steels is influenced by various factors, including chemical composition, processing techniques, and environmental conditions. Understanding these factors is essential for optimizing the properties of duplex stainless steels for specific applications.
Recent research has focused on characterizing the nanostructures of duplex stainless steels using advanced techniques such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atom probe tomography (APT). These studies have provided valuable insights into the mechanisms governing nanostructure evolution in these materials.
In addition to characterizing nanostructures, researchers are also exploring novel processing techniques to tailor the nanostructure of duplex stainless steels for specific applications. For example, researchers have investigated the effect of thermomechanical processing on the nanostructure evolution of duplex stainless steels, with the aim of improving their mechanical properties.
Overall, research on nanostructure evolution in duplex stainless steels is advancing our understanding of these materials and opening new possibilities for their use in various industries. This topic continues to be a vibrant area of research, with ongoing efforts to further enhance the properties of duplex stainless steels through nanostructure engineering.

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.
