Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, entitled “Advanced Welding in Alloys and Composites”, addresses the cutting-edge welding technologies in the realm of alloys and composites. The aim is to broaden the knowledge regarding recent scientific developments in various aspects of welding technologies for alloy and composites.
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Welding processes: friction-based welding, high-energy density welding, hybrid welding, dissimilar materials welding, welding in extreme conditions, etc.
- Welding materials: advanced high-strength steels, high-temperature alloys, high-entropy alloys, shape memory alloys, light alloys, polymer and metal matrix composites, etc.
- Joining mechanism: modelling and simulation is encouraged to understand the physics and/or chemistry of advanced welding technologies for alloy and composites.
- Microstructure and properties: the characterization and evaluation of welded joints in terms of microstructure and their mechanical, thermal, and corrosion properties.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
