Powder Metallurgy is an international journal publishing peer reviewed original research on the science and practice of powder metallurgy; and news of technological and commercial developments in the industry and PM community. Coverage is broad, encompassing hard materials, ceramics, and composites in addition to metallic PM materials, and ranging from the production, handling, and characterisation of powders, through compaction and sintering and other consolidation routes, to the properties, secondary processing, and applications of PM components.

Powder Metallurgy and Metal Ceramics covers topics of the theory, manufacturing technology, and properties of powder; technology of forming processes; the technology of sintering, heat treatment, and thermo-chemical treatment; properties of sintered materials; and testing methods. Powder Metallurgy and Metal Ceramics is a translation of the peer-reviewed Ukrainian journal Poroshkovaya Metallurgiya.

At the heart of open access for the global chemistry community. RSC Advances publishes advances in chemistry, and in topics of interest to the chemistry community.

RSC Sustainability welcomes all solutions-focused research dedicated to solving sustainability challenges. This includes, but is not limited to, technologies to achieve responsible consumption and production of chemical products (UN’s SDG:12), such as for the efficient use of nature’s resources, the elimination of hazardous substances in the production and use of chemical products (sustainable and green chemistry), their reuse and recycling (circular economy) and methods to analyse these (techno-enviro-economics). Beyond this, RSC Sustainability champions chemical science discoveries that contribute to and enable any of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, celebrates multidisciplinary collaboration, and welcomes work from the academic, industry, regulatory and government sectors.

Peer-reviewed and published bimonthly, Rare Metals is the official journal of the Nonferrous Metals Society of China. The journal is dedicated to the publication and the dissemination of original research articles (and occasional invited reviews) in the field of rare metals to establish a platform of communication between engineers and scientists. Its coverage includes the metallurgy, processing, and determination of rare metals. The journal also publishes papers on the application of rare metals in advanced materials, such as superconductors, semiconductors, composites, and ceramics.

The main aim of the Russian Journal of Non-Ferrous Metals is to achieve a new knowledge in such topics as extraction metallurgy, hydro- and piro- metallurgy, casting, plastic deformation, metallography and heat treatment, powder metallurgy and composites, self-propagating high-temperature synthesis, surface engineering and advanced protected coatings, environments and energy capacity in non-ferrous metallurgy. Coverage includes both theoretical and applied articles. All major nonferrous metals and alloys are treated, and the emphasis throughout is on the development and improvement of cost effective, environmentally safe methods of nonferrous metals production. The journal publishes articles originating from universities, research institutions, Russian Academy of Sciences institutes and industrial research laboratories.

Russian Metallurgy (Metally) (Izvestiya Rossiiskoi akademii nauk. Metally) was founded in 1959 by the USSR Academy of Sciences. The journal publishes results of original experimental and theoretical investigations, as well as reviews and collections of papers devoted to topical problems of metallurgy, physical metallurgy, and treatment of ferrous, non-ferrous, rare, and other metals and alloys, intermetallic compounds, and metallic composite materials. The main directions of researches published in the journal are physicochemical properties of metallurgical materials (ores, slags, mattes, and melts of metals and alloys): physicochemical processes (thermodynamics and kinetics of pyrometallurgical, hydrometal-lurgical, electrochemical, and other processes): theoretical aspects of the processes of metallurgical production: metal forming: thermoplastic and thermochemical treatment: computation and experimental determination of phase diagrams and thermokinetic diagrams: mechanisms and kinetics of phase transformations in metallic materials: relations between the chemical composition, phase and structural states of structural and functional materials and their physicochemical and service properties: interaction between metallic materials and external media: effects of radiation on these materials.

Scripta Materialia is a LETTERS journal of Acta Materialia, providing a forum for the rapid publication of short communications on the relationship between the structure and the properties of inorganic materials. The emphasis is on originality rather than incremental research. Short reports on the development of materials with novel or substantially improved properties are also welcomed. Emphasis is on either the functional or mechanical behavior of metals, ceramics and semiconductors at all length scales.The following aspects are of particular interest:(i) discovery or development of new materials with novel functional or mechanical properties of potential engineering interests;(ii) characterization of the structure and chemistry of materials for understanding the properties;(iii) cutting-edge experiments and theory for understanding structure-property relationships;(iv) novelty in simulation and modeling in the context of understanding properties, preferably combined with experimental verification;(v) elucidation of the mechanisms involved in the synthesis and processing of materials as a route to the elucidation of properties;In addition, Scripta Materialia publishes comments on papers published in Acta Materialia and Scripta Materialia. The journal also publishes Viewpoint Sets, which are a collection of invited short articles focused on topics of current interest within the scope of the journal and coordinated by invited guest editors.
