Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
High-energy ball milling (HEBM) has attracted increasing attention within the various branches of the scientific community. The HEBM of powder mixtures in high-speed planetary ball mills, shakers and other milling equipment allows for the production of nanostructured composites (including reactive ones), solid solutions, metastable phases, pseudoalloys, and various other materials. In the case of metallic systems, high-energy ball treatment induces the formation of multilayered structures, achieving a highly specific surface between the components.
The science of mechanochemistry continues to have multiple blind spots. Therefore, we are calling for papers dedicated to the various aspects of high-energy ball milling. The following aspects are of particular interest:
- The relation between the processing conditions for HEBM, phase and structure formation mechanisms, and the properties of the produced powders.
- The theoretical modeling and experimental assessment of the mechanochemical processes, including in situ assessment.
- The influence of mechanochemical processing on sintering and the properties of materials.
- The combination of HEBM and novel consolidation processes.
- The reactivity and energy storage capacity of mechanically activated mixtures.
- Reports on the industrial implementation of HEBM-related processes.
- Advancements in Selective Laser Melting
Both experimental reports and reviews are welcomed for submission.

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.
