Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, additive manufacturing methods have been developed in different industrial applications. Because of the high production rate and dimensional precision of the final products, these methods are in the spotlight of current materials engineers. Likewise, from the metallurgical insight, additive manufacturing methods are often able to fabricate ultrafine grain materials, thanks to the rapid solidification of molten materials. Considering the abovementioned points, additive manufacturing methods could open a new window for the development of new alloys and composites which might fulfill higher expectations for strategic applications. In this Issue, authors are invited to share their latest achievements in the development of new alloys and composites, namely as metal matrix composites (MMC), Laser cladded sheets by additive manufacturing, lamellar composites and functionally graded materials (FGM), made by AM methods and reinforced conventional alloys, through the addition of different elements and compounds, etc.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
