Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Tundish has been widely used in the continuous casting of steel, aluminum, and copper. In the early 1980s, the concept of tundish metallurgy was put forward by Heaslip and McLean. Forty years since then, tundish metallurgy has developed with the evolution and demand of continuous casting as well as clean steel production. Extensive physical and mathematical model studies on tundish have been carried out. An even larger tundish volume, long refractory service life, stable performance for high-speed casting, uniform temperature control by heating technologies, and flexible flow control for casting speed adjustment are new demands and technologies for tundish. Clean steel production is a systematic and complicated project which occurs throughout the whole steel production process. Raw material (ferroalloys), secondary refining, tundish, and continuous casting are all key issues which need to be addressed in clean steel production.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include, but are not limited to, the following: tundish metallurgy, secondary refining, continuous casting, clean steel technologies, refractories, converter and electric arc furnace steelmaking, and metallurgical equipment development. We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
