Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Dissimilar welding is a big challenge. Materials from different material groups with different melting temperatures, mechanical properties, structures, and many other different features are often welded together. We invite you to participate in our Special Issue, entitled “Advances in Dissimilar Welding”, in the journal Materials, MDPI. The aim of this Special Issue will be to present readers with the latest developments in this field. We welcome submissions of articles on the metallographic structure and properties of a joint made of two different materials using different welding processes. For example, articles describing the welding of nickel alloys with various types of steel or the welding of high-strength martensitic steel with high-alloy steels with an austenite or delta ferrite structure are of interest. We also welcome all other cases

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. Materials 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 2600 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.

The current development of soldering materials focuses on the properties of the solder itself, while the reliability of the joints formed after soldering is evaluated to a lesser extent. It is essential to understand the relationship between the structure and the strength of the solder joint obtained. This article shows that the properties of the material used for soldering only to a certain extent largely translate into the mechanical properties of the joint. The aim of this article is to emphasize the importance of the problem of the selection of the chemical composition of the solder with the simultaneous selection of the parameters of the soldering process, including the width of the solder gap for the selected strength properties of the connection. The purpose of this article is to emphasize that the selection of a chemical composition solder with a simultaneous selection of parameters of the soldering process, including the dimensions of the gaps of the soldered materials, are affected properties of the soldered joint. In this article, the main importance was focused on the chemical composition of a tin-based solder. The influence was analyzed, and the most favorable content of elements, such as Al and Cu, which create intermetallic phases, strengthening the soldered joint, was determined. The properties of the newly developed solder joint for alternator applications due to the specified conditions of the soldering process, including the width of the solder gap permissible for alternators, ensured the correct connections, the strength properties of which differed despite the use of the same soldering material and substrate material, as well as the soldering time and tip temperature. This article presents a change in the cracking model of a solder joint made using a newly developed material due to the width of the permissible solder gap in the production process of alternators.
