Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metal additive manufacturing (AM) has brought impressive advances in the manufacture of bespoke parts with complex geometries. However, it also poses many technical barriers due to the highly transient and varying physical phenomena which occur on a broad range of length and time scales difficult to observe and characterize.
The development of fully integrated multi-physics and multi-scale computational models in AM is highly desirable and still a key challenge, with an important requirement in AM modelling being the ability to predict and control the microstructure (and, therefore, the mechanical properties) of the component. However, the microstructure is strongly dependant on thermal history during processing, which in turn results from several independent and diverse physical phenomena interacting at disparate spatial and temporal scales (such as laser heating, powder coating and melt pool dynamics).
This Special Issue aims to contain articles reporting on new and progressive research into multi-scale strategies for metal additive manufacturing, the scope including methods to integrate/link sequential multiple physics-based models, as well as concurrent frameworks to couple micro-scale and macro-scale models.

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.
