Acta Metallurgica Sinica (English Letters) (ISSN 1006-7191, CN 21-1361/TG) started in 1988. It is administrated by China Association for Science and Technology, sponsored by the Chinese Society for Metals, and managed by Institute of Metal Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Beginning with V.22 (1) 2009, this publication was indexed/abstracted in Science Citation Index Expanded.Acta Metallurgica Sinica (English Letters) provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies related to the fields of metallurgy, materials science and engineering. The studies which advance the understanding of the relationship between the processing, the structure and the properties of inorganic materials are of particular interest. Emphasis is on either the mechanical or functional behavior of inorganic solids at all length scales down to nanostructures.The journal does not seek or publish papers on concrete and cement-based systems nor on polymeric and polymer-based materials.

中國冶金學報（英文版）（ISSN1006-7191，CN 21-1361/TG）始于1988年。由中國科學技術協會管理，中國金屬學會主辦，中國科學院金屬研究所管理。從2009年第22（1）節開始，本出版物在《科學引文索引擴展》中編入索引/摘要。《冶金學報》（英文版）是一個國際性的出版冶金、材料科學和工程領域理論和實驗研究的媒介。有助于理解無機材料的加工、結構和性能之間關系的研究是特別有意義的。重點是無機固體在所有長度上的力學或功能行為，從納米結構到納米結構。該雜志不尋求或出版關于混凝土和水泥基系統的論文，也不發表關于聚合物和聚合物基材料的論文。
