Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Although the consumption of non-ferrous metal materials (Mg, Al, Zn, Ti, Cu, Ni, etc.) only accounts for 5% of the total consumption of metal materials, they play an important role in engineering because of their excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, small relative density, stable chemical properties, heat resistance and corrosion resistance. These unique characteristics make them indispensable in various industries such as aerospace, automotive manufacturing, electronics and renewable energy.
In recent years, there have been significant advancements in materials design and manufacturing technologies. Machine learning algorithms have revolutionized material discovery by enabling researchers to predict new compositions with desired properties. CALPHAD methods provide a powerful tool for thermodynamic modeling and simulation of complex alloy systems. High-throughput computing has accelerated the screening process for novel materials with improved performance. Additive manufacturing techniques have opened up possibilities for fabricating intricate structures with enhanced functionality. Semi-solid processing has emerged as a promising method to produce near-net-shape components with superior mechanical properties.
Building upon the success of the first volume, we are thrilled to announce the opening of submissions for the second volume of this Special Issue. In response to growing curiosity and demand from scholars worldwide, we aim to expand our research scope beyond non-ferrous materials. This expansion will allow us to delve into new areas and uncover innovative approaches in advanced materials design and manufacturing technologies.
We eagerly await your valuable contributions as we continue our journey towards highlighting cutting-edge developments in this dynamic field. Whether you choose to submit full papers, communications or reviews on advanced materials design and manufacturing technologies, all forms of scholarly work are warmly welcomed.

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.
