Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Welding, also known as materials joining engineering, is an important material processing technology which is widely used in petrochemical, electric power, aerospace, marine engineering, nuclear power engineering, microelectronics technology, national defense and the military, among other fields. In the past two decades, advanced materials such as advanced metals, high-entropy alloys and ceramic materials have undergone continuous development, while weldability, matching welding materials and welding technology have been explored in the development of new materials. To obtain high-quality welded joints with excellent performance and controllability, it is necessary to clarify the weldability of materials, welding metallurgy, and the design of structures, welding processes, etc. The development of welding science is of great importance for the creation and application of new materials.
On the other hand, additive manufacturing (AM) is an attractive process which can be used to create almost any shape, including those that could be very difficult to machine. Note that the metal AM process has many similarities to the conventional welding process; that is, the feedstock forms a high-temperature molten pool under the action of a high-energy density heat source. The molten metal in both processes undergoes non-equilibrium solidification, and a complex solid state phase transformation occurs with the help of in situ cyclic reheating.
This Special Issue aims to enrich the global exchange of alloy welding and additive manufacturing activities. Potential topics include (but are not limited to) alloy welds, microstructure and mechanical properties of HAZ, weldability of alloys, welding metallurgy principles, welding cracking, constitution of weld metals, development and behavior of filler metals, metallurgy of additive manufactured components and process of welding or additive manufacturing.

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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
