Joining, including welding, soldering, brazing, and assembly, is an essential requirement in manufacturing processes and is classified as a secondary manufacturing process. This Special Issue of Metals includes technical and review papers on, but not limited to, different aspects of joining and welding, including welding technologies (i.e., fusion-based welding and solid-state welding), characterization, metallurgy and materials science, quality control, and design and numerical simulation. This Special Issue also includes the joining of different materials, including metal and non-metals (polymers and composites), including 17 peer-reviewed papers from several researchers all around the globe (China, Germany, Brazil, South Koria, Slovakia, USA, Taiwan, Canada, and India). As of this date (April 2020), the papers in this Special Issue have been cited 47 times by other researchers, which I think is an eminent number and shows the high quality of the published papers in this Issue. This Special Issue includes a large diversity of various subjects in the field of joining: laser welding, friction stir welding, diffusion bonding, multipass welding, rotary friction-welding, friction bit joining, adhesive bonding, weldbonding, simulation and experimentation, metal/FRP joints, welding simulation, plasma–TIG coupled arc welding, liquation cracking, soldering, resin bonding, microstructural characteristics, brazing, and friction stir butt and scarf welding. I would like to sincerely thank all the researchers who contributed to this Special Issue for their high-quality research. I also would like to acknowledge Mr. Toliver Guo, Senior Assistant Editor at MDPI, who continuously and tirelessly contributed toward this Special Issue by assisting me with inviting the authors and the follow ups. I think this Special Issue will enhance our knowledge and understanding in the field of joining and assembly. I would like to dedicate this book to my wife, Mehrnoosh, for her continued support and encouragement.microstructurephased array ultrasonicthermophysical propertyFRPsimulationeutectoidtint etchingTAN alloydissimilar material joiningthermal compression bondingHAZ crackingwelding thermal cyclesIN738 superalloycarbide dissolutionsolderfriction bit joiningweld bondinginterfacial microstructureadhesive thermos-mechanical propertyAPI 5L X80 steelscarf jointthermal sprayingporesCr-Mo steelweldinghot pressinglocal brittle zoneelectrical propertiesTi2AlNb alloytool pin profilesadhesive bondingmechanical propertiescarbon fiber-reinforced polymersurface structuringm23c6Zn-coated low carbon microalloyed steelsflux-less solderingdissimilar jointsenergy-inputmedium thick plate modeldesign of experimentsoxide layermechanical interlockingrotary friction-welding22MnB5ultrasonic bondingtitaniumanisotropycoupled archeat-affected zonealuminumplasma-TIGjoint mechanical propertieshybrid joiningmicroconstituentdual-phase steelhigh-crystalline content zirconiaflex-on-board assemblyactive monomersbutt jointcopperclad filler foilSA213-T23arc profilenumerical simulationtailor welded blanksceramicsvacuum brazingcoatinglongitudinal wavedirect diffusion bondingmetallurgypressure distributionflow stressSnBi58 solder joint morphologyadhesiondissimilar weldmentslaser weldingdistributed point heat sources modelmechanical strengthtaguchi designbonding strengthfriction stir weldingHaghshenas Meysamauth1314892BOOK9910404080103321Science, Characterization and Technology of Joining and Welding3032104UNINA
