An Overview of High-Entropy Alloys Prepared by Mechanical Alloying Followed by the Characterization of Their Microstructure and Various Properties

R. Shashanka · 21 Jun 2022

Some modern alloys, such as high-entropy alloys (HEAs), are emerging with greater acceleration due to their wide range of properties and applications. HEAs can be prepared from many metallurgical operations, but mechanical alloying is considered to be one of the most simple, economical, popular, and suitable methods due to its increased solid solubility, nano-crystalline structure,…

Nickel Alloying in Carbon Steel: Fundamentals and Applications

Hardy Mohrbacher, Andreas Kern · 11 Jan 2023

Nickel is an important and widely used alloying element in carbon steels. Some of its prominent metallurgical effects in these steels are moderate solid solution strengthening, mild hardenability and, importantly, a strong promotion of toughness, especially at low temperatures. The first uses of nickel as an alloying element in commercial steel production date back to…

Recent Advances in Ceramic-Reinforced Aluminum Metal Matrix Composites: A Review

Surendra Kumar Patel, Lei Shi · 30 Aug 2025

Aluminium metal matrix composites (AMMCs) incorporate aluminium alloys reinforced with fibres (continuous/discontinuous), whiskers, or particulate. These materials were engineered as advanced solutions for demanding sectors including construction, aerospace, automotive, and marine. Micro- and nano-scale reinforcing particles typically enable attainment of exceptional combined properties, including reduced density with ultra-high strength, enhanced fatigue strength, superior creep resistance,…

Linking Powder Properties, Printing Parameters, Post-Processing Methods, and Fatigue Properties in Additive Manufacturing of AlSi10Mg

Ritam Pal, Amrita Basak · 28 Jul 2022

Additive manufacturing (AM) of metals can be broadly accomplished via two defined technologies: powder bed fusion and directed energy deposition. During AM fabrication, the melted feedstock material experiences fast thermal cycling due to the layer-by-layer deposition process resulting in microstructures and properties that are drastically different from the traditionally manufactured parts. For AM to become…

Mechanical Properties of Al–Mg–Si Alloys (6xxx Series): A DFT-Based Study

Kipkorir Kirui Pius, Nicholas O. Ongwen, Maxwell Mageto et al. · 13 Sep 2023

Al–Mg–Si alloys are used in aircraft, train, and car manufacturing industries due to their advantages, which include non-corrosivity, low density, relatively low cost, high thermal and electrical conductivity, formability, and weldability. This study investigates the bulk mechanical properties of Al–Mg–Si alloys and the influence of the Si/Mg ratio on these properties. The Al cell was…

Alloys template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Alloys format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Alloys template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official MDPI format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Alloys use?
Alloys uses Numbered (MDPI) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith, A.; Jones, B.; Lee, C. A Representative Article Title. Alloys 2023, 12, 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Alloys?
No. DocuGuru generates the mdpi LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a MDPI-ready Alloys document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Alloys template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Alloys format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Alloys?
Alloys - MDPI Journal. It is a multidisciplinary journal, published by MDPI.
Can I export a submission-ready Alloys PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Alloys template (the mdpi class) that is ready to submit to MDPI, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Alloys template cost?
You can start writing in the Alloys template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Alloys PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
