Progress in Coatings Deposition by Advanced Welding and Welding-Related Processes, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

It is our pleasure to announce the launch of a new Special Issue in the journal Coatings on the topic of “Progress in Coating Deposition via Advanced Welding and Welding-Related Processes”, which will cover an important domain of research and development dedicated to surface modification and surface remanufacturing.

Although this field has reached such a mature level that it is prevalent in the production and remanufacturing processes of advanced machine parts, there are still many aspects of it that are yet to be illuminated, and as such, development is still progressing intensively.

Many domains are involved in this progress, ranging from maritime to the oil industry, including agriculture, aeronautics, communications, energy, military, etc.

This Special Issue intends to gather original scientific peer-reviewed articles and review articles featuring important and recent developments or achievements in surface modifications via welding and welding-related processes, with a special emphasis on real or potential applications.

Authors are invited to submit their contributions at any moment from now. Papers can cover either experimental or theoretical aspects or both.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Prof. Dr. Tomasz Chmielewski
Guest Editor
