Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on the latest research findings in welding and additive manufacturing technologies for advanced metal materials. It covers topics including the microstructure, mechanical properties, and quality control of welding and additive manufacturing based on heat sources such as arcs, lasers, and electron beams.
The key areas of focus include new strengthening mechanisms, the relationship between microstructure and properties, new microstructure control technologies, process stability, and online defect detection methods.
This Special Issue aims to explore the advanced welding and additive manufacturing of alloys and metals and highlight the basic principles of microstructure and property regulation. The articles presented in this Issue will address various topics, ranging from the exploration of advanced welding technologies to microstructure regulation and the performance improvement of alloys and metals.
