Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Laser welding is a cutting-edge technology that utilizes a laser beam to join metallic materials. This technique offers numerous advantages, including high precision, reduced heat input, and minimal distortion. The importance of advanced laser welding lies in its ability to enhance the quality and performance of welded joints, making it crucial in various industries such as automotive, aerospace, and electronics.
Submissions are invited on topics such as novel laser welding methods, laser–material interactions, microstructure evolution, and mechanical performance of welded joints. Article types can include original research papers, review articles, and short communications.
The aim of this Special Issue is to bring together the latest research and developments in advanced laser welding technology of metallic materials. It focuses on exploring the fundamental principles, innovative processes, and applications of this technology, which is in line with the journal's scope.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Jicheng Chen
