Manufacturing, Welding, Testing and Applications of the Advanced Materials

Dear Colleagues,

Material properties determine their applicability. Additionally, we can design materials for special applications as a function of the required mechanical, chemical, electrical, and other properties and working conditions. The advanced materials are metals, polymers, composites, and ceramics for special applications. The testing of the materials is an essential way to know their properties. For advanced materials, we can use standardized tests, but it can require designing a new testing process.

Advanced materials can be a special chemical composition or special manufacturing f.ex. additive technology or heat treated to earn a special microstructure. Material designing and testing for a special application are necessary nowadays. The special application work condition can be the corrosive media, high wearing load or electromagnetic radiation. The special application work condition can be corrosive media, high wearing load, electromagnetic radiation, or other special loads.

• Experimental characterization of advanced materials when subjected to special conditions.
• Synthesis and characterization of improved materials to withstand special working conditions.
• New methods of synthesizing advanced materials for working in special environments.
• Computational simulation of advanced materials when subjected to special conditions

Thus, we are pleased to invite you to submit your work for this Special Issue, to assemble a collection of in-depth discussions and reflections on this fascinating and important topic for the development of science and technology.
