Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The joining of metals dates back to the Bronze and Iron Ages. Among the metal joining techniques, welding, which began to develop as a modern process in the 19th century with the birth of electric arc welding and electric resistance welding, certainly stands out.
As welding is halfway between science and technology, its progress has historically been linked to both scientific and technological advances. Thus, welding metallurgy studies the interaction between the physico-chemical properties of the metal and the variables of the welding process, as well as the effect of this interaction, on microstructure, mechanical properties and in-service behavior of the welded joint. It is undoubtedly a challenge that is both complex and fascinating.
Since its beginnings, the development of welding processes has been kept in step with, on the one hand, the evolution of metals and alloys and, on the other hand, the requirements of society and industry, which often change at breakneck speed. Scientifically based advances in welding processes are reflected in efficient technologies at the service of an increasingly demanding society and an increasingly competitive industry.
The aim of this Special Issue is precisely to contribute to a significant advance, both scientifically and technologically, in both fusion welding and solid-state welding. Advances of interest are within, but not limited to, the following topics: characterization, quality control, modeling and simulation, welding process optimization and in-service behavior.

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.
