Abstract

(Format: Style – AMS main title, font 10pt Times New Roman, Bold letters, Line spacing: exactly at 12,5pt, alignment: left)

The abstract should be written in the past tense, because it refers to work which was already done. Any equations and references are not allowed. It must state the main object, scope, findings, describe the methodology, summarize the results and state the principal conclusions. The abstract must have100 words as a minimum.

(Format: Style – AMS main text, font 10pt Times New Roman, Line spacing: exactly at 12,5pt, alignment: justified)

Keywords: min. 3 - max. 6,

General

The manuscript must be written in English. Your manuscript will be used as a camera-ready document. It must therefore be clean, with no smudges, erasure marks, pencil-or ink-corrections, creases or tears.

Use section titles for a clear structuring and an easy understanding of the text. The manuscript should be divided into sections (and subsections, if necessary).

For example:

Introduction

Subsection text numbering

Experimental material(s) and methods

Results

Discussion

Conclusion

References

Acknowledgement

Introduction

(Format: Style – AMS main text number 1, font 10pt Times New Roman, Bold Letters, Line spacing: exactly at 12,5pt, alignment: left, indentation: special hanging by 0,53 cm, Tabs: tab stop position 0,53 cm, alignment: left, Numbering style: 1,2,3…, level: 1)

(1) Papers submitted to Acta Metallurgica Slovaca have to be based on original theoretical or experimental investigations.

(2) The Publisher takes no responsibility for injury and/or damage to persons or property resulting from a matter of product liability, negligence or otherwise, or from any use or operation according to any methods, products, instructions or ideas contained in the material published herein.

(3) Although all advertising material is expected to conform to the ethical standards; its encompassment in this publication does not guarantee or endorse the value of such products or of the claims made by its manufacturer.

(4) Authors who plagiarize significant portions of their manuscript even from their own work published previously will be placed on a database which will be shared with all publishers and will be banned from publishing for a period of three years.

(5) If English in the manuscript is difficult to understand, the editor will reject the paper without technical review until it is readable by the reviewer.

(Format: Style – AMS main text, font 10pt Times New Roman, Line spacing: exactly at 12,5pt, alignment: justified)

Types of contributions

(1) Research papers: reporting experimental or theoretical research within the scope of our journal.

(2) Review papers: examining the position in a topic of current interest.

(3) Technical notes: providing a quick publication route for preliminary announcements of the results of current work, or short accounts of new techniques; typically 1000 words in length.

(4) Communications: conference reports, news from research institutes, commentaries etc.

Papers of type (1) and (2) are reviewed by one member of the Editorial Board and the other Reviewer will be selected from the list of potential Reviewers suggested the by corresponding author. The corresponding author will suggest the names, addresses, and email addresses of 3 experts (as a minimum) in the subject of the paper, who are not the members of the Editorial Board of the journal are not from the author’s institution, and at least two of them must be from a different country that the author. Note that the editor retains the sole right to decide whether or not the suggested reviewers will be used.

Manuscript format

(Format: Style – AMS main text number 2, font 10pt Times New Roman, Bold Letters, Line spacing: exactly at 12,5pt, alignment: left, indentation: special hanging by 0,53 cm, Tabs: tab stop position 0,53 cm, alignment: left, Numbering style: 1,2,3…, level: 2)

Manuscripts should be typed on B5 (JIS) paper, line spacing: exactly at 12,5pt and Times New Roman 10pt font should be used, with 2,5 cm top and left margins, 3 cm bottom margin and 2 cm right margin for the whole document on numbered pages.

The maximum length of manuscript is 10 pages.

The main title (less than 10 words, format: font 10pt Times New Roman, Bold Capital Letters), lists of authors and affiliations (format: font 10pt, Times New Roman, Italic Letters, Full Name, Numbering), Section titles and Subsection titles (format: font 10pt Times New Roman, Bold Letters) and Text (format: 10pt Times New Roman).

Use the SI - metric system for units and all quantitative data. Type the blank space between the values and the SI units. The temperature in Kelvin is preferred where thermodynamics are being discussed, otherwise the degrees of Celsius are obligatory. Time in Hours (Minutes) is preferred where heat treatments are being discussed, otherwise Seconds are obligatory.

Equations

Equations must be prepared in Equation Editor for Word. The mathematical and chemical equations must have the form as in the final print. All new symbols must be listed and defined immediately after each equation, as follows:

(1.)

(Format: font 10pt Times New Roman, Line spacing: single, alignment: left)

where:	Z [s-1] - Zener-Hollomonov parameter

[s-1] - strain rate

QD [kJ/mol] - activation energy of deformation

R [kJ/(Kmol)] - universal gas constant

T [K] - temperature

Figures and Tables

Figures and tables must be numbered with Arabic numerals with clear and brief captions. The captions are placed below figures and above tables. The results are presented in Fig. 1 and in Table 1. Accepted are original photographs and printouts of good quality (minimum 300 dpi) and in an acceptable format (TIFF, JPG should be saves as the highest resolution picture) with the width of 8 cm, 6 cm or 4 cm. All figures will be printed black and white. Please indicate your preference for colour on the web side only.

Conclusions must be comprehensive and not written like a report.

References

The editor retains the sole right to decide whether or not the reference is used. The references must be from a verifiable source and preferably from SCOPUS or Web of Knowledge database. The references must be numbered in sequence. In the text refer them by a number in square brackets [10, 15, 20-22]. The reference list should have 20 references as a minimum. There are essentially four types of reference entry: journals, books, conference proceedings and web side. They should be formatted as follows:
