Welding, Joining and Coating of Metallic Materials

Dear Colleagues,

Since the beginning of the 19th century, metallic materials have been highly attracted in the scientific and industrial world. Welding, joining and coating are among the most important methods in metallic processing. The majority of research works deal with obtaining the required chemical and phase compositions, microstructures, and mechanical, physical and technological properties.

Furthermore, in last two decades, the development of a combined technology where traditional processes join up with advanced methods of nanoscience is in the focus of the scientific community. More and more research is dedicated to the interaction between the traditional metals technology and nanotechnology approaches achieving materials with improved mechanical, physical, chemical and technological properties.

The scope of the forthcoming Special Issue will focus on recent innovative and pioneering works in the field of metallic materials processes of welding, joining and coating. Topics include, but are not limited to:

• Ferrous and non-ferrous alloys welding processes
• Advanced methods of metallic materials joining
• Metals solidification processes
• Alloying and modification of metallic materials
• Metals advanced coatings
• Modeling and simulation

We invite our colleagues to submit a manuscript, which can be in the form of a full paper, communication or a review to this Special Issue.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
