Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The nature of manufacturing processes can occasionally be complex, as various localized or extensive phenomena, such as phase change, deformation and grain restructuring, occur simultaneously. The experimental observation of these phenomena, especially in bulk materials, is not trivial because of the high level of accuracy required and the inherent challenges encountered when attempting to visualise the atomistic structure of materials. Additionally, continuous models are based on constitutive equations that inherently contain assumptions about the evolution of a system over time. However, in recent decades the vast increase of computational power as well as the development of computational modelling techniques has made feasible the atomistic modelling of manufacturing processes, such as nanocutting, heat treatment and additive manufacturing, without making any ab ignition assumptions.
The goal of this Special Issue is the collection and presentation of state-of-the-art developments in the atomistic modelling of manufacturing processes. We seek research contributions related to atomistic/mesoscale/multiscale modelling of manufacturing and processes encompassing the following topics:
- Material removal processes;
- Solidification/annealing;
- Indentation;
- Laser ablation;
- Additive manufacturing;
- Material characterization;
- Ion beam processing.

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.
