Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the most used metal material in the world, steel supports our industry and life. With the progress of industrial technology, the demand for key components for steel, especially special steel, is increasing. Therefore, it is imperative to study steel with new alloy composition, processing technology, microstructure and mechanical properties for strict service conditions. In recent years, great results have been obtained in steel research by ultra-pure metallurgy, supernormal preparation, microstructure modification and grain boundary construction. However, there are still many interesting problems to be solved in steel microstructure modification and supernormal mechanical properties.
In this Special Issue, modern trends of steel, including the smelting, processing, microstructure, mechanical properties and so on, are highlighted and discussed.
It is my pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.
Prof. Dr. Tianying Xiong

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.
