Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
The modeling and simulation of welding processes is an important area of research and engineering that involves the development of mathematical models and computer simulations to predict and analyze the behavior of materials during welding. It can provide valuable insights into the behavior of materials during welding, help to optimize welding parameters, and improve the understanding and performance of welding processes. This can lead to the development of more efficient and effective welding processes, which can reduce costs and improve the quality and durability of welded structures. Nonetheless, the complexity of welding processes, with high non-linearities, multi-physics phenomena, multivariable coupling, and material properties, makes it challenging to develop accurate finite element models. Furthermore, the lack of comprehensive and reliable experimental data, particularly at high temperatures and strains for model validation, presents a significant challenge.
In this Special Issue, we welcome articles that focus on numerical modeling and simulation of the welding process for dissimilar materials or high-strength steel materials, as well as the investigation of welding process signals. We encourage the use of numerical model simulation results to optimize process parameters and attain high-quality welded joints.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Metals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
