Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Welding is a common connection method used in production today, and efficient smart welding methods can increase productivity. Additionally, additive manufacturing based on layer-by-layer stacking has a significant advantage in processing efficiency; it is also the most promising processing and manufacturing technology for the future. In view of the current problems of additive manufacturing, it is necessary to develop new additive methods and modification processes that can significantly improve the performance of the deposited components. Thus, publications about the manufacturing, microstructure characterization, and property analysis of metallic materials manufactured by welding and additive manufacturing are encouraged to be submitted for publishing in this Special Issue. Furthermore, the structure design, microstructure configuration, and strengthening mechanism analysis of the alloys manufactured by welding and additive manufacturing will also be fully considered. This Special Issue is thus organized to publish state-of-the-art works that aim to offer some guidance on the manufacturing, investigation, and application of alloys fabricated using welding and additive manufacturing.
It is my pleasure to invite you to submit papers for this special issue. We accept full papers, communications, and reviews.
Dr. Chao Chen
Guest Editor
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.
