Academic publisher Maney Publishing, UK, has purchased Materials at High Temperatures, and will begin publishing the journal from 2014, in its materials science & engineering list.
Published quarterly, Materials at High Temperatures serves the needs of designers and engineers who develop and use materials for high temperature applications, often in extreme or aggressive environments. It publishes peer-reviewed contributions relating to high temperature applications in the power, aerospace, chemical engineering, processing and furnace industries.
Materials at High Temperatures is known for its coverage of the effects of high temperatures on corrosion, oxidation, fatigue, creep, strength and wear in alloys, intermetallics, ceramics, refractories and composites, together with the important topics of materials modelling, design and lifetime prediction. The journal has a policy of emphasising the links between research and actual or potential service applications.
The existing editors, Professor John Nicholls, Dr Peter Skelton and Professor Vilupanur Ravi, will be joined by a new appointment, Professor Gordon Tatlock. The journal will use Maney's online submission and peer review system, which will enhance the experience of publication for authors; reduce publication times, and administration for the editors; and stimulate the submission of more papers for the journal.
