Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Welding and joining, as the earliest connection methods used by human beings, have been employed for a very long time. Welding and joining are extensively utilized in various fields and have received signficant attention in recent years due to the development of aviation, aerospace, nuclear energy, electronics and other novel technologies.
This Special Issue, entitled “Advances in Welding Processes of Metallic Materials—2nd Edition”, welcomes the submission of articles that address the welding and joining of all kinds of materials. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics: process optimization; experiments; simulation; metallurgical behavior; intermetallic compounds; and the fracture behavior of welded/joined joints using various welding methods.
