Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The constant development of new materials and products also promotes the research and development of laser, joining and hybrid welding technologies as well as additive manufacturing technologies. These investigations are multidisciplinary and include processes, materials, the weldability and joinability of materials and alloys, the design of products and joints, and numerical simulations to comprehensively understand physical and metallurgical phenomena. A successful understanding of these phenomena enables for the development of solutions to overcome these problems. The aim of this Special Issue is to provide a platform for researchers, engineers, academicians, as well as industrial professionals from all over the world to present their research results and development activities in the field of laser welding and joining of both advanced and conventional engineering materials. In this Special Issue, research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Laser joining technologies;
- Quality of welded joints and welded structures;
- Modeling and simulation of welding processes;
- Mechanical and structural characterization of advanced materials and joints;
- Hybrid welding and additive manufacturing;
- Additive manufacturing processes (DED, powder bed fusion, binder jetting, etc.);
- Repair welding and repair additive manufacturing of products.

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. Machines 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 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs).
