Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Friction stir processing (FSP) and friction surfacing (FS) techniques have revolutionized material processing and surface engineering, sparking widespread interest across industries due to their significant impact on material processing, joining, coating fabrication, and surface modification. These innovative techniques operate on the principles of frictional heat generation and plastic deformation, thus offering distinct advantages over conventional methods by enabling high-quality joint formation, enhanced material properties, and superior surface characteristics without the pitfalls of melting or fusion-based processes.
This Special Issue aims to bring together cutting-edge research, innovative methodologies, and practical applications, fostering a comprehensive understanding of the capabilities and limitations within this field. Within this Special Issue, an emphasis is placed on showcasing the innovations of new experimental techniques and configurations for tools and workpieces within FSP and FS techniques. By providing a platform for researchers, this Special Issue seeks to advance the knowledge frontier, stimulate interdisciplinary collaboration, and address critical challenges in the realm of FSP and FS.
Topics of Interest:
- Novel Approaches and Advanced Techniques
- Microstructural Transformations, Phase Evolution, and Property Enhancements
- Material Compatibility and Application Specificities
- Surface Modification and Property Development
- Developments in Process Monitoring, Control, and Optimization
- Advances in Numerical Modeling and Simulation

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.
