Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Titanium alloys have been widely used in orthopedics, dentistry, and other clinical fields because of their unique advantages, such as their excellent comprehensive mechanical properties, processing and molding properties, and clinical reliability. Fracture fixation instruments, artificial joints, spinal orthosis, and dental implants are typical medical devices made of medical titanium alloys. In recent decades, the interest in microstructure, mechanical properties, biofunction, and biomedical applications of titanium alloys has been gradually increasing.
This Special Issue aims to address the latest research on not only basic materials studies of titanium alloys but also clinical transformation of titanium alloy medical devices, in order to deeply understand the development of medical titanium alloys and their medical devices.

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).
