Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the ever-evolving field of mechanical engineering, materials and joining technologies play a crucial role in shaping various products and systems' design, implementation, and sustainability. The observed developments in materials science have paved the way for the growth and use of advanced materials with outstanding properties, provided that appropriate joining methods are used. As the field of mechanical engineering continues to evolve, the search for advanced materials and effective joining methods that can meet the ever-increasing demands of modern technology remains paramount. This comprehensive approach makes it possible to revolutionize mechanical components' construction.
The main goal of our Special Issue is to collect the latest developments in the field of advanced materials and joining technologies, including their applications in mechanical engineering. It was proposed that such a general title would cover a wide range of materials and technologies for producing structural elements, both conventional (casting, forming, milling, and turning) and innovative (hybrid and additive manufacturing), as well as various joining technologies (welding, friction welding, explosive joining). Innovative research results focused on different materials and joining technologies will be of interest to all important industries, such as heavy industry and the automotive, aviation, and aerospace industries.

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.
