Official Publication of the Brazilian Metallurgical, Materials and Mining AssociationThe Journal of Materials Research and Technology provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies related to processing, properties, and performance of materials. The complex relationship between processing and properties of materials is being revealed by advanced characterization, analytical and computational methods. At the root of the intricate connections are defects which operate at the nano, micro, meso, and structural level. These defects. or their absence, are instrumental in determining the mechanical, optical, magnetic, electrical properties which in turn are responsible for new functionalities which expand the performance of materials and structures. JMRT seeks cutting edge contributions in the following areas:Novel processing methods such as additive manufacturing, friction welding, severe plastic deformation, phase transformations.Advanced materials including metals, alloys, intermetallics, composites, ceramics, polymers, biomaterials and bioinspired materialsAdvanced characterization, analysis, and modelling of material behaviourMaterials for energyThe journal does not emphasize the following areas, but will consider outstanding contributions in: Corrosion, Construction materials such as asphalt, Drug delivery and materials, Hydrometallurgy and pyrometallurgy, Mining engineering and equipment, Non-technical or non-scientific articles.
