Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hard-to-deform metals are widely used in cutting-edge fields such as aerospace, automotive manufacturing, and advanced energy due to their excellent performance under extreme conditions. However, hard-to-deform metals are prone to thermal cracking, stress concentration, and inhomogeneous deformation during plastic processing, these challenges limit their large-scale applications and engineering practices. This topic aims to provide insight into the dilemmas and challenges in plastic forming of hard-to-deform metals, as well as to collect the latest research results in overcoming these challenges.
In this topic, we invite you to publish original research articles and reviews on any aspect related to new technologies and mechanisms of plastic processing of hard-to-deform metals, including but not limited to:
- Practical application cases, technical challenges and solutions of hard-to-deform metals in engineering fields such as aerospace, automobile manufacturing and high-speed railroads.
- Latest research on plastic forming technologies for hard-to-deform metals based on advanced processes.
- Adoption of new technologies to realize the characterization and analysis of microstructure of hard-to-deform metals, and reveal the microstructure evolution mechanism during plastic processing.
- Mechanical behavior, deformation mechanism and performance of hard-to-deform metals under different conditions, as well as the establishment of relevant constitutive model.
- Microstructural adjustment and property optimization of hard-to-deform metals.
- Preparation and application of advanced mental structural materials，such as Lattice structure、Multi-layered material、Gradient material.
