Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on the joining of various materials, including steels, aluminum alloys, nickel-based alloys, and shape memory alloys. Studies focus on understanding the microstructural evolution, mechanical properties, and defect formation during different welding processes such as TIG welding, micro-resistance butt welding, friction stir welding, laser welding, and additive manufacturing. Investigations also explore the influence of process parameters, material composition, and post-weld treatments on joint performance and integrity.
