Is Journal of Metallurgy and Materials a top metallurgical journal? If not, which one is it?

The best materials (metallurgy accounts for a small part) are recognized natural materials, which are top grade, and the influence factors are generally above 30.

As far as process metallurgy is concerned, Journal of Metallurgy and Materials B in the United States is internationally recognized as the highest-level publication, focusing on theoretical research (Metallurgical magazine, namely Journal of Metallurgy and Materials A is also good, but A is worse). The influence factor is not high, only a little more than 0.7. Not only iron and steel metallurgy, but also non-ferrous metallurgy. The influence factor of Japanese ISIJ internalization A exceeds 0.7, which is the highest in the field of process metallurgy, mainly involving steel metallurgy. Compared with transaction B, it focuses on industrial processes. If it is a top-level publication, only these two will be considered in metallurgical field.

Other SCI journals in this field can also be used in German iron and steel research, if > 0.4, ironmaking and steelmaking, if > UK, if >; 0.4, but there is a downward trend in recent years, especially in ironmaking and steelmaking, and the quality and level of the articles are getting lower and lower. Canada's Canadian Metallugical Quartly used to be very high, but now the contribution source is seriously declining, and the impact factor is only about 0.2, but the level of articles is not very bad (it can be seen that North America has strict academic requirements).
