Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Although humankind has been using and developing alloys for thousands of years, the search for the continuous improvement of their properties and new applications with more demanding requirements continues. Industrial and technological advances go hand-in-hand with developing new metallic materials with higher performance, durability, and a more sustainable cradle-to-tomb cycle.
This Special Issue is intended to be a compilation of the latest advances in the development of alloys, the improvement of existing ones, and new fabrication routes. It will mainly emphasize their outstanding mechanical properties and microstructural features’ evolution.
The acceptance criteria do not restrict any alloy type, application, or characterization technique, although the articles must show significant advances in the field, accompanied by high-scientific-level discussion.

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.
