Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The use of new engineering materials developed for special purposes related to assembly has become a challenge for the general industry. In fact, beyond the development of these important cutting-edge materials, their capability to be joined is also a huge challenge. This is mostly due to the complete absence of knowledge on the permanent joining of these materials by well-known joining methods, plus the industrial interest in their combination with materials commonly used in engineering applications.
The objective of the present Special Issue is to illustrate recent developments on the joining of unweldable materials, focusing the main concepts, techniques, and processes. We intend to gather a significant number of multidisciplinary contributions addressing the following issues:
- Joining of dissimilar materials;
- Joining of new materials;
- Joining of unweldable or hardly weldable materials;
- Permanent joining processes;
- Proof of concept;
- New techniques for material joining;
- New process approaches for material joining;
- Conventional manufacturing processes applied on material joining;
- Microstructural and mechanical analysis;
- Numerical simulation.

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. Journal of Manufacturing and Materials Processing is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 1800 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
