Renowned scholars appointed to the editorial board of Materials and Solidification
Tsinghua University Press
Materials and Solidification is a single-blind peer-reviewed, fully open access international journal published by Tsinghua University Press, with academic support provided by the State Key Laboratory of Solidification Processing, Northwestern Polytechnical University. The Journal aims to publish cutting-edge research results in solidification theory and solidification technologies for metal, semiconductor, organic, inorganic, and polymer materials in bulk or as thin films. It includes, but is not limited to, casting, welding, and additive manufacturing related to solidification processing, and is also involved in nonequilibrium solidification phenomena in multiphysical fields, such as electricity, ultrasonication, magnetism, and microgravity.
Now it is thrilled to introduce its newly formed editorial board. Comprising pre-eminent researchers from across the globe, this editorial board is committed to upholding the journal's high standards of academic excellence and driving innovation in the discipline.
