Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Our aim is to publish a Special Issue of the journal Metals entitled “Novel Insights into Steelmaking Processes”. The focus of this Special Issue will be on the actual status and development of the numerical and validation methods and techniques applied to steelmaking processes, and new insights into ongoing technologies will be discussed. Special emphasis will be placed on the analysis of novel approaches that aim to enhance the effectiveness of this technology, clean energy sources and the availability of raw materials. Our Special Issue will address a range of relevant topics, including the following:
- Raw materials selection based on modeling approaches for analyzing decarbonization routes;
- Raw materials preparation, sintering, blast furnace and shaf furnace modeling (statistical, continuous, and discrete approaches) focusing on alternatives for the decarbonization of the process;
- Modeling and optimization techniques applied to steelmaking processes;
- CALPHAD and kinetic modeling approaches to steelmaking processes;
- Big Data approaches to process analysis and control;
- Artificial intelligence and expert systems for steelmaking process control;
- New alternative fuels and gases for steelmaking process decarbonization;
- Industrial trials aimed at sustainable developments in the steelmaking process chain.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Prof. Dr. Jose Adilson De Castro

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.
