Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metals and alloys are widely used as automotive components, radio and electrical equipment, precision tools for flight controls, and telecommunications devices. Various plastic-forming processes produce high-performance parts with complex shapes with varying levels of accuracy and surface quality. Moreover, advanced plastic deformation processes can greatly improve the microstructure and mechanical properties of metal materials. It is crucial to study the microstructure developments and properties of metals and alloys in the whole life cycle to promote the development and application of final products. This Special Issue aims to publish original, important, and developed research papers that focus on the microstructure, mechanical properties, and additive manufacturing of steels.
In this Special Issue, we welcome the submission of the latest research on the appropriate topics, including, but not limited to, the following: metal-forming processes; finite element simulation technology during plastic deformation; the severe plastic deformation process of metal materials; microstructure evolution; mechanical properties test; and additive manufacturing of steels.

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.
