Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on the welding of dissimilar materials. The performance and application capabilities of materials often depend on their integrations, which in turn are affected by many variables. The current issue will explore the mechanisms, methods, and techniques of welding dissimilar materials and discuss their impact on material properties and applications. We will delve into applications of dissimilar-material welding in energy, the environment, healthcare, electronics, and other fields. By reading this Special Issue, readers will gain a deep understanding of welding among various kinds of structural and functional materials and their potential in actual service scenarios. We are pleased to invite you to contribute your findings and insights on the dissimilar-material welding. We encourage authors to submit papers on fundamental aspects, experimental investigations, and theoretical analyses of welding in structural and functional materials.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but not limited to) the following:
Characterization of welding joints in relation to key application areas;
Welding structure and interface analysis;
Mechanical and micromechanical behavior of welding joints;
Lifetime prediction and durability assessment;
Microstructural and mechanical analysis techniques;
Defect assessment and identification at various stages;
Damage classification and corrosion resistance evaluation;
Advanced non-destructive techniques for monitoring the welding process;
Methods for predicting welding joint degradation;
Surface treatments for enhancing dissimilar-material welding;
Welding joints: integration and applications in structural and functional materials.

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. Crystals 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.
