Processing, Microstructure and Properties of Cemented Carbide

Dear Colleagues,

Cemented carbide is one of the most widely utilized powder metallurgy products worldwide due to its excellent hardness, strength and wear resistance. The cemented carbide industry has developed significantly with advancements in technology and the continued expansion of the market. Advancements in cemented carbide, including the development of new alloys; preparation technology; and series wear resistance, corrosion resistance, high-temperature oxidation resistance and fracture toughness, is the scope of this Special Issue.

The purpose of this Special Issue is to focus on the processing, microstructure and properties of cemented carbides. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) novel cemented carbide systems, new cemented carbide preparation technology, and recent research progress in cemented carbide. I look forward to receiving your contributions.

Prof. Dr. Huichao Cheng

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. Metals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
