Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
I invite you to prepare scientific publications on broadly understood welding technologies that are used to join advanced construction materials used in materials engineering, as well as joining processes using various types of adhesives. The welding process is still the basic technology for joining conventional and modern construction materials, and it is often supported by other processes, e.g., gluing, resistance welding combined with gluing. The welding process is characterized by many specific features related to the variable temperature field and changes in a wide range of physical and mechanical properties of the welded material. However, in each case, we are dealing with a metallurgical connection. In the case of bonding processes, the quality of the connection is determined by adhesion, diffusion, and the forces acting between individual zones. I invite you to submit scientifically valuable articles to this Special Issue entitled: “Fusion Bonding/Welding of Metal and Non-metallic Materials”. Its scope is vastly wide and covers virtually all welding technologies, from conventional ones through to laser beam and electron beam welding, as well as monitoring, diagnostics, and simulation of these processes. I would also like to see publications in the area of fusion bonding, both regarding the use of metal and non-metal materials. I suggest that the articles concern advanced welding methods, unconventional welding solutions, special bonding methods, and novelties in the field of joining composite materials. Studies on monitoring joining processes, their diagnostics, and computer simulations will also be welcomed. I believe that publishing the results of your research in the Materials journal is worthwhile in order to disseminate your work to a wide audience.
The themes of this Special Issue will provide a forum for articles on the following concepts:
- Welding technologies for joining modern construction materials;
- Fusion Bonding of metal and non-metal materials;
- Innovative methods of combining construction materials;
- Modern additional materials with special functional properties;
- Application of the finite element method to predict joint properties;
- Qualitative assessment of manufacturing processes;
- Diagnostics of welding and fusion bonding processes;
- The use of artificial intelligence in the diagnosis of welding processes.

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.
