✦ Inferred from recent articles This journal focuses on various joining processes for metallic materials, including additive manufacturing techniques like additive friction stir deposition and laser powder bed fusion. It also covers solid-state joining methods such as friction stir welding and ultrasonic welding, as well as mechanical joining processes like clinching and self-pierce riveting. The scope includes the analysis of dissimilar material joining, the influence of process parameters on joint properties, and the characterization of microstructural and mechanical behavior of the resulting joints.
