Call for papers: Advanced Metallic Materials
Advanced metallic materials are the foundation of our modern industrial society. Metallic materials are used as structural materials for lightweight design, high temperature applications for energy production or mobility, or as thin films and coatings. Excellent functional properties are important for highly conductive materials, magnets and superconductors, metals in catalytic applications among many others. The sustainable use of materials becomes more and more important.
Elucidation of the underlying correlations between the microstructure and properties is a key for the development of new metallic materials. Advanced high resolution and analytical tools tremendously extend our understanding of the deformation processes, and structure-property relationships of advanced materials. Processes at interfaces play a dominant role in the properties of all kinds of nanomaterials. Nanostructured metals show huge progress for the design of advanced steels, nanolaminates, graded materials, and hybrid compounds. Combining experiments with modelling and simulation approaches has enormous potential to more rapidly advance our understanding of materials properties, and to facilitate faster design and high throughput optimization of advanced metallic materials.
Suggested topical areas include, but are not limited to:
• Nanomaterials and nanoscaled metallic compounds driven by interfaces design
• Metallic thin films, graded and nanolamellar materials
• Advanced high temperature materials
• High entropy alloys and new compositionally complex materials
• New materials for additive manufacturing
• Metals in catalysis
• Digital materials research by high throughput or data mining approaches
• Advancement and usage of novel characterization approaches, e.g., high resolution microstructural characterization and in-situ approaches
• 3D microstructural analysis by atom probe tomography, focused ion beam, and other methods
• Nanomechanical testing and property assessment on the local scale
• Simulation and modeling of material behavior, e.g., by atomistic and thermodynamic approaches
