Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The welding of materials, especially metal materials, is a hot topic in research focused on material processes. With the continuous development of welding technology, methods for the welding of metal materials is becoming increasingly important. Therefore, research on technology and performance is essential. This Special Issue is focused on the latest developments in metal material welding; its goal is to cover the welding of metal materials and explore research on the microstructure, performance, and interface behavior of these materials. The topics of interest also include primary development trends, engineering applications, and the numerical simulation of metal material welding. This article will cover all these topics, including the same and different metal materials, metal matrix composites, and their applications. Regarding processes, it will cover various welding processes, including traditional methods and emerging techniques (laser, electron beam, etc.). We welcome the submission of articles covering truly novel elements in the world of metal materials and processes that can effectively solve the welding problem between metal materials.
