Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The use of non-ferrous metals predates the Middle Ages, but it was the Industrial Revolution and the subsequent impact of the transportation revolution that tremendously pushed demand for their use. The development of the airplane industry, the commercialization of automobiles, and the mass production of durable and recreational consumer goods fueled this increased demand. The applications of non-ferrous metals provide technological advantages and cost savings that are indispensable in today's world. In fact, in some cases, they form far better materials than iron and steel and have replaced them to a great extent. Most industries, including aviation, aerospace, automobiles, machinery manufacturing, electricity, communications, construction, and home appliances, rely on the use of non-ferrous metal materials. Therefore, non-ferrous metals are the basic materials for the development of the national economy and the main objects in the research world.
In this Special Issue, we welcome articles that focus on non-ferrous metals and their processing, characterization, and applications. The papers presented in this Special Issue will give an account of the scientific and technological state of the art of non-ferrous metals (see the Keywords/Topics below) in 2024. Contributions to this Special Issue are highly valued and appreciated. We invite you to contribute research work that relates to the benefits of non-ferrous alloys in today's world.

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.
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.
