Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metal composite materials refer to composite materials formed by metallurgical bonding at the interface using composite technology or various metals with different chemical and mechanical properties, such as stainless steel/steel, steel/titanium, steel/aluminum, etc.
Metal composite materials can greatly improve the thermal stability, strength, fracture toughness, impact toughness, wear resistance, electrical properties, magnetic properties, and many other properties of single metal materials, so they are widely used in petroleum, chemical industry, ship, metallurgy, mining, machinery manufacturing, electric power, water conservancy, transportation, environmental protection, pressure vessel manufacturing, food, brewing, and pharmaceutical and other industrial fields.
With the progress of laser technology, laser welding technology has become an important method of metal composite material connection, which promotes the development and engineering application of metal composite material. Aiming at typical metal composites, the laser welding process and microstructure and properties analysis of welded joints are carried out, while attention is paid to the matching characteristics of the interface welding zone of the metal composites material, the inhomogeneity of the microstructure and mechanical properties, and the influence of welding process parameters on the microstructure and properties.

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. Metals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
