Dr. George Pantazopoulos is invited and will serve as Guest Editor for Special Issue entitled “Failure Mechanisms in Alloys” which is going to be published by the International Journal Metals – an Open Access Journal of Metallurgy from MDPI.
In the frame of this Special Issue (“Failure Mechanisms in Alloys”), a valuable insight is aimed to be offered, covering critical subject-areas in the field of metals and metallic component degradation processes. Indicative topics including in this thematic area, are the following:
- Microstructural-induced degradation and embrittlement
- Analysis and mechanics of fracture
- Damage evolution at nano- and microstructural level
- Environmentally-induced degradation processes, corrosion, wear and combined mechanisms
- Progressive mechanical failures, creep and fatigue
- Texture and morphology of fracture
- Modeling and simulation of degradation processes
- Failures in new and modern manufacturing processes, e.g. in additive manufacturing and severe plastic deformation
- Novel and modern analysis techniques for failure investigation
- Failure prevention strategies pertaining to microstructure or surface modification
Deadline for manuscript submissions: 10 March 2019
