Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Welding, a crucial process in material engineering, has been widely applied across diverse industrial sectors, including aerospace, energy, and transportation. With the development of new materials and technologies, such as electronics, computers, and robotics, welding science has achieved remarkable progress. However, new materials and components pose higher demands on welding processes and materials, spurring innovation in traditional techniques for new materials, along with the development of new welding processes and connection technologies.
In this Special Issue, we welcome a variety of research works on innovative welding materials, novel welding processes, additive manufacturing, and in-depth exploration of the microstructure, performance, and interface behavior of welded joints to enhance the quality and reliability of welded structures.
