Technology of Welding and Joining 2021

Dear Colleagues,

Welding technology is constantly improving. New welding processes and welding methods are emerging. For example, the use of micro-jet cooling in the welding of various grades of steel and aluminum alloys has recently been observed. New welding processes allow the structure of the joint to be controlled and thus have an impact on the material properties. New types of materials are emerging for which the most appropriate welding technologies have not yet been developed. With a view to new welding products, we offer this Special Issue entitled "Technology of Welding and Joining 2021". The purpose of this Special Issue is to organize information about new construction materials and the possibility of their correct welding, taking into account existing welding technologies and new ones.
