Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
High-performance steel, known for its exceptional mechanical properties, finds wide-ranging applications in fields such as automotive, aerospace, construction, and energy. However, traditional design and manufacturing methods often fail to fully exploit the potential of high-performance steel and meet the requirements of steel structural components in complex engineering environments. In recent years, significant progress has been made in the design and manufacturing of steels. New manufacturing techniques enable high-end forming and service performance on steel and its structural components, meeting the high demands for properties such as friction, wear, and fatigue under extreme operating conditions. Therefore, innovative efforts are urgently needed at various steel processing stages. By developing green and efficient processing technologies to replace traditional lengthy processes, carbon emissions can be reduced. We also hope that steel possesses long-lasting performance and high structural integrity.
This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for researchers to share their latest findings and innovative advancements in the field of high-performance steels. We welcome submissions from various disciplines, including but not limited to the following: understanding of the microstructure and properties of high-performance steel, maximization and optimization of the mechanical properties of high-performance steels through tailoring the microstructure, synergistic design of novel microstructure achieving high-performance of steels, manufacturing and enhancement of high-performance/multi-functional components, green and efficient processing technologies, as well as wear resistance, fatigue resistance, creep, and damage resistance of steel.

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. Metals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
