Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues，
Symmetry is a kind of beauty, and asymmetry is also a kind of beauty. Symmetry and asymmetry exist widely in natural science and engineering applications, and metal forming is no exception. Metal forming is the technology of producing metal artworks, which are widely used in the aerospace, automobile, construction, hardware industries, including for use in daily necessities, etc. In the metal forming process, there are many symmetry problems concerning material properties, boundary conditions, load loading, multi-field coupling, part structures, equipment, etc., which may directly affect the forming quality, cause defects of formed parts, or even fail to form. For example, material anisotropy, axisymmetric and non-axisymmetric parts, uneven deformation, straightening process, etc. The aim of the present Special Issue is, thus, to emphasize the phenomena of symmetry/asymmetry in metal forming. Manuscript types include original research papers, reviews, and letters. The Special Issue will cover all aspects of metal forming processes and must be related to symmetry, including the following:
- Manufacturing processes and equipment
- Materials behavior and characterization
- Modeling and simulation
- Deformation mechanics
- Microstructure design by forming
- Control and optimization.

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. Symmetry 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 2400 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.
