Aims & Scope

Its thematic plan covers all directions of scientific and technical development in non-ferrous metallurgy. The main journal sections include scientific-technical papers on heavy and light non-ferrous metals, noble metals and alloys, rare and rare earth metals, carbon materials, composites and multi-functional coatings, radioactive elements, nanostructured metals and materials, metal forming, automation etc. Theoretical and practical problems of ore mining and mineral processing, production and processing of non-ferrous metals, complex usage of ores, economics and production management, automation of metallurgical processes are widely observed in this journal. "Non-ferrous Metals" journal publishes the papers of well-known scientists and leading metallurgists, elucidates important scientific-technical problems of development of concentrating and metallurgical enterprises, scientific-research institutes and universities in the field of non-ferrous metallurgy, presents new scientific directions and technical innovations in this area. The readers can find in this journal both the articles with applied investigations and with results of fundamental researches that make the base for new technical developments. Publishing according to the approach APC (Article processing charge).
