Show full editorial board

Materials Science and Technology is an international forum for the publication of refereed contributions covering both fundamental and technological aspects of the properties, characterization and modelling, processing, and fabrication of engineering materials. The journal has a particular interest in the continuum from understanding and modelling of process routes leading to the generation of microstructure, through characterization, understanding and modelling of how microstructure is controlled and manipulated, to the modelling, control and prediction of relevant engineering properties. 'Microstructure' is shorthand for nano/micro/meso/macrostructure, provided that 'structure' is identified at the appropriate size scale. 'Properties' may be electrical, mechanical, electronic, chemical, magnetic, thermal, optical, or biochemically related.

Contributions addressing any part of the continuum in an insightful manner, whatever the material system, are invited. What is important is that an attempt is made to relate 'properties' back to effects of 'microstructure'.

Institutional subscribers now have online access to the full back archive of MST included in their subscription.  This archive provides complete coverage of MST back to Volume 1 (1985) and its well respected predecessor, Metal Science Journal (1967-84). These additional 328 issues give institutions real value-for-money. Read the free editorial by John Knott here and get his personal perspective on some of the key articles to be discovered in these rich archives!

Modeling of Casting, Welding and Advanced Solification Processes MCWASP
Solidification and related phenomena are important for the foundry industry and manufacturers of semi-finished products. Modeling of phenomena and/or processes involving solidification has lead to a remarkable increase in knowledge, and is thus indispensable when existing process limits are to be overcome.

Special issue, guest edited by Professor Bhadeshia, on bearing steels

The January 2012 issue of MST is a special issue that looks at the structure, life-cycle, characterisation and assessment of bearing steels. The editorial is free to read on ingentaconnect. This issue also includes the winning Literature Review article 'White structure flaking (WSF) in wind turbine gearbox bearings: effects of `butterflies' and white etching cracks (WECs)' which is free to download and read!
