Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, the development of metal additive manufacturing has been particularly rapid, with selective metal melting technology being one of the most mainstream technologies in additive manufacturing due to its high manufacturing accuracy and excellent performance of the parts prepared. It has been initially applied on a large scale in industries such as aerospace, medical, mold, etc. The material systems involved include but are not limited to aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, high-temperature alloy, steel, and so on. As a kind of manufacturing technology, metal additive manufacturing and material research and development are closely related, promoting each other and developing in synergy.The recent development trend of selective metal melting technology is how the technology itself can adapt to a wider range of material systems, such as a higher accuracy, better performance, faster efficiency, and alloy development through material genetic methods; the other is how to design and develop special materials suitable for additive manufacturing technology, such as a deep understanding of the melting principle of additive manufacturing, material design methods, and applications of preparation (high-temperature-resistant aluminum alloy, lightweight and high-strength titanium alloy, superalloy, gradient material, etc.).For this Special Issue, we invite authors to contribute research articles or reviews on the broad range of topics addressed above.

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.
