Scope
Aims, scope and focus
Materials at High Temperatures is published by Maney Publishing and is in Zone 4 of Materials Science in the CAS Journal Ranking (2025 upgraded edition). By OpenAlex counts of its recent articles, its largest topics are High Temperature Alloys and Creep, High-Temperature Coating Behaviors and Fatigue and fracture mechanics, together about 44.4% of its articles. Its main subfields are Mechanical Engineering. (generated from OpenAlex topic counts and CAS ranking data)
Materials at High Temperatures welcomes contributions relating to high temperature applications in the energy generation, aerospace, chemical and process industries. The effects of high temperatures and extreme environments on the corrosion and oxidation, fatigue, creep, strength and wear of metallic alloys, ceramics, intermetallics, and refractory and composite materials relative to these industries are covered. Papers on the modelling of behaviour and life prediction are also welcome, provided these are validated by experimental data and explicitly linked to actual or potential applications. Contributions addressing the needs of designers and engineers (e.g. standards and codes of practice) relative to the areas of interest of this journal also fall within the scope, as do laboratory testing methods. The term 'high temperatures' refers to the subsequent temperatures of application and not, for example, to those of processing itself. Manuscripts that are outside the scope of this journal scope include those on low temperature (aqueous) corrosion, materials processing itself (e.g. heat treatment, and welding), and polymers. Materials at High Temperatures publishes regular thematic issues on topics of current interest. Proposals for special issues are welcomed; please contact one of the Editors with details. The journal publishes Research Articles, Technical Reports, Brief Reports, and Letters to the Editor. Review submissions are not considered unless invited. Peer Review Policy All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor. If found suitable for further consideration, papers are subject to peer review by independent, anonymous expect referees. All peer-review is single anonymized. Publishing Ethics The journal adheres to the highest standards of publishing ethics, with rigorous processes in place to ensure this is achieved. Taylor & Francis is a member of Committee of Publications Ethics (COPE) and utilises CrossCheck for all Journals.
