Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Impact welding or collision welding is a solid-state welding method that has recently been gaining traction in industry as well as in the research realm. The ability to weld widely disparate materials while maintaining their parent material properties sets impact welding apart from fusion-based welding. Traditionally performed with explosives, this method also has other variants that are driven by electromagnetic pulse, pulsed laser ablation and vaporizing foil actuators, among others, which make the technology more accessible for application and research. This Special Issue welcomes research papers and reports on all aspects of impact welding, including—but not limited to—process innovation, testing, diagnostics, microstructure, simulation and industrial application.
