Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The thermomechanical properties of high-temperature advanced alloys are largely affected by their microstructures, which are developed by high-temperature heat treatments. Many of the applications of high-temperature advanced alloys involve complex combinations of stresses and high temperatures in highly corrosive and oxidizing environments that consequently degrade the microstructure and, therefore, the thermomechanical properties. To avoid costly periodic component replacements, high-temperature rejuvenation heat treatments can be applied to restore the microstructures and mechanical properties of degraded advanced alloys, due to the fact that most microstructural degradations are reversible. The application of suitable rejuvenation heat treatments at high temperatures represents a benefit not only in less material waste but also in terms of time reduction and lower energy consumption.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to collect works related to rejuvenation heat treatment of high-temperature advanced alloys. It is my pleasure to invite you to submit manuscripts to this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.
The topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Rejuvenation of Ni-base superalloys: Effect on microstructure and creep properties;
- Effect of high-temperature heat treatment on microstructural evolution and thermomechanical properties;
- Application of hot isostatic pressing;
- Single-crystal, directionally solidified, polycrystalline alloys;
- Microstructure characterization.

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. Materials 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 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.
