Aims & Scope

Progress in Metallurgical and Manufacturing Processes (PMMP) is an international, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing knowledge in the fields of metallurgy, materials science, and manufacturing engineering. The journal provides a platform for disseminating research that advances the understanding, development, and application of metallurgical engineering and manufacturing technologies. It welcomes contributions addressing fundamental principles, technological innovations, emerging developments, and industrial applications across the broad fields of metallurgy and manufacturing. It is published quarterly online by Scilight Press.

Aim

PMMP serves the academic, research, and industrial communities, fostering the exchange of cutting-edge knowledge and innovations. The journal aims to:

  • Foster interdisciplinary dialogue between metallurgical engineering, materials science, and manufacturing technologies.
  • Highlight progress in fundamental research, applied technologies, and industrial practices.
  • Serve as a bridge between academic research and industrial innovation, promoting sustainable and efficient processes.
  • Encourage contributions that address global challenges in resource efficiency, advanced materials, and next-generation manufacturing systems.

Scope

PMMP welcomes contributions in, but not limited to, the following areas:

  • Metallurgical Processes: Extractive metallurgy, mechanical metallurgy, physical metallurgy, thermomechanical treatments, alloy design, solidification, phase transformations, and powder metallurgy.
  • Manufacturing Processes: Additive manufacturing, advanced manufacturing processes, advanced machining, forming, joining, surface engineering, sustainable manufacturing, and hybrid manufacturing technologies.
  • Materials Development: Metals, alloys, composites, ceramics, and sustainable and functional materials tailored for structural, functional, tribological, and high-performance extreme applications.
  • Process Modeling and Simulation: Computational thermodynamics, process design, digital twins, machine learning, and AI-driven alloy design, materials, properties and manufacturing optimization.
  • Sustainability and Circular Economy: Recycling, resource reuse and recovery, energy-efficient materials, energy-efficient processes, and environmentally responsible manufacturing.
