First-principles study of stability and electronic properties of B2 X–Ru alloys for high-temperature structural applications
We use first-principles density functional theory calculations to study the properties of X–Ru alloys (X = Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn) in the B2 crystallographic phase for high-temperature structural applications.

0〉-orientation-dependent crack initiation in a titanium alloy under dwell fatigue
Soft grains with a “rotation angle” between 15° and 30° are prone to induce cracking in hard grains, for the reason that prismatic dislocation slips in these soft grains exert a higher stress (higher κ value) normal to the basal plane of hard grains.

Theoretical insights into the lattice thermal conductivity and thermal expansion of CoNiFe medium-entropy alloys
In this paper, we investigate the impacts of elemental concentration, tensile strain and temperature on the lattice thermal conductivity of CoNiFe medium-entropy alloys using the equilibrium molecular dynamics method.
About this collection
With the development of new fabrication/processing methods, novel metallic materials with a synergy of excellent properties have been developed. Thus, a better understanding of the structure-property relationship is required, which paves the way for further alloy development. Guest edited by Prof. Xiaoxiang Wu (Soochow University), Prof. Seok Su Sohn (Korea University), Dr Zhongji Sun (A STAR, Singapore) and Prof Qingqing Ding (Zhejiang University), this themed collection covers the latest research on alloy design theory and methods, alloy fabrication and processing (casting, additive manufacturing, etc.), properties & deformation mechanisms of alloys, especially in the harsh conditions and advanced characterization and simulation of metallic materials.
