Aims and Scope
The International Journal of Refractory Metals and Hard Materials (IJRMHM) publishes original research articles concerned with all aspects of refractory metals and hard materials. Refractory metals are defined as metals with melting points higher than 1800 °C. These are tungsten, molybdenum, chromium, tantalum, niobium, hafnium, and rhenium, as well as many compounds and alloys based thereupon. Hard materials that are included in the scope of this journal are defined as materials with hardness values higher than 1000 kg/mm2, primarily intended for applications as manufacturing tools or wear resistant components in mechanical systems. Thus they encompass carbides, nitrides and borides of metals, and related compounds. A special focus of this journal is put on the family of hardmetals, which is also known as cemented tungsten carbide, and cermets which are based on titanium carbide and carbonitrides with or without a metal binder. Ceramics and superhard materials including diamond and cubic boron nitride may also be accepted provided the subject material is presented as hard materials as defined above.

First SCI paper, the experience was very good, and the speed was extremely fast. Submitted on June 30th, received comments from two experts for minor revisions on August 3rd, received acceptance notice on August 24th, proofreading on August 27th, and published on August 29th! Overall, the speed was really fast, and the suggestions made by the expert reviewers were very insightful and professional. As my first paper, I am very satisfied and hope that the journal will continue to improve! My experience is that the article must have innovative points, a complete structure, visually appealing formatting, and accurate use of professional terms. When responding to expert comments, it is important to address each point clearly and make targeted modifications.
