Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I invite you to prepare scientific publications on broadly understood welding technologies used to join advanced construction materials and modify the properties of surface layers in materials engineering as part of the 2nd edition of the Special Issue titled “Fusion Welding”. The welding process is still the basic technology for joining conventional and modern construction materials, ensuring high-quality joints. This process is characterized by many specific features associated with the variable temperature field and with variations in a wide range of physical and mechanical properties of the welded material. I invite you to send scientifically valuable articles for a Special Issue entitled “Fusion Welding”. Its scope is very wide and covers virtually all welding technologies, as well as monitoring, diagnostics, and process simulation. I suggest that articles are related to advanced welding methods, unconventional welding solutions or are focused on combining high-strength materials, both steel and nonferrous, as well as nanostructured. Studies on the monitoring of fusion welding processes as well as work on the computer analysis of phenomena occurring in the welded area are also welcome. I believe that the Metals journal is a journal where it is worth publishing your research results for dissemination to a wide audience.
The scope of this Special Issue will serve as a forum for papers on the following concepts:
- Technologies for combining modern construction materials;
- Technologies for producing surface layers using welding methods;
- Modern additional materials with special functional properties;
- Use of computer methods to predict the properties of welded joints;
- Qualitative assessment of broadly understood modifications of surface layers and welded joints;
- Diagnostics of production 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. Metals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
