Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As competition in the market grows, the production of different structures, from the pacemaker to bridges, with given mechanical properties as well as user properties is an indispensable part of modern production systems. Proper welding technologies make it possible to reduce welding imperfections, improve mechanical properties, and fulfil requirements of standards and codes. Mostly, the welding processes can be carried out as the final processing step.
Welding as an “umbrella” term defines all those technological process variants that provide the proper quality of the welded joints. Arc welding, electron beam welding, laser beam welding, and laser hybrid welding can be recognized as joining processes which melt the materials. It should be noted that the welding technologies can be put into effect both very quickly and very precisely at the position desired in each case. The welding process can be applied in an SME as well as in large companies as needed.
In this Special Issue, we seek to provide a wide set of articles on various aspects of welding technologies. The idea is to demonstrate the broad range of properties and applications of these technologies. It is hoped that this open access Special Issue will provide a place for anyone to familiarize themselves with the current state of the art for these processes. Articles on technological process analyses, defect elimination, and the performance of final welded joints are desired, as well as those on the welding of modern materials.

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.
