Aims & Scope
Metal Science and Heat Treatment is a peer-reviewed, monthly publication that focuses on the latest developments in all aspects of physical metallurgy, materials sciences, and heat treatment of alloys. Provides a platform for discussion on structure at all length scales, physical and mechanical properties, thermal and deformation processing of metallic materials. Publishes content on the results of studies of the relationship between processing, structure, and properties of metallic materials, both theoretical and experimental, including using validated modeling. Reports on state-of-the-art achievements in heat treatment and thermomechanical processing of steels and alloys. Address all classes of metallic materials, composite, and powder-based materials, nanocrystalline and amorphous materials, their structure, phase composition, transformations, mechanical behavior, solidification, welding, coatings Known for a high author republishing rate.
