Special Issue Information
Dear Colleague,
With the continuous development of advanced manufacturing, the number of applications of nonferrous metals and their composites used in aerospace, rail transit, and high-speed ships is rising. Solid-state friction stir welding technology has numerous advantages compared with traditional fusion welding technology. In addition, severe plastic deformation during friction stir processing can effectively improve the comprehensive properties of materials.
The main purpose of this Special Issue, entitled “Friction Stir Welding and Processing of Nonferrous Metals and Their Composites (Second Edition)” is to find solutions to the difficulties and challenges encountered in the friction stir welding of nonferrous metals and their composites. The main content of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the joining and fabrication methods of materials, the mechanism of deformation, friction stir welding of similar and dissimilar materials, friction stir processing, energy field-assisted friction stir welding and processing, composite material fabrication, deformation-driven metallurgy, numerical simulation, and welding-related tool design. The microstructure, mechanical properties, and functions of joints will be analyzed in order to reveal the forming mechanism of friction stir welding joints and materials. We welcome papers on nonferrous metals and their composites that enhance applications in the field of friction stir welding.

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.
