This issue of JMEP contains invited, peer-reviewed papers presented at the European Congress and Exhibition on Advanced Materials and Processes (EUROMAT 2019), held on September 1–5, 2019, in Stockholm, Sweden, in two symposia from the Area C “Processing”:
C6 “Joining,” organized by Anna Zervaki (University of Thessaly, Greece), Ivan Kaban (IFW Dresden, Germany), and C. Sommitsch (Technische Universität Graz, Austria)C8 “Interface Design and Modelling, Wetting, and High-Temperature Capillarity,” organized by Pavel Protsenko (M.V. Lomonosov Moscow State University, Russian Federation), Fabrizio Valenza (CNR—ICMATE, Genoa, Italy), and Simeon Agathopoulos (University of Ioannina, Greece)
The research works in the field of joining technologies, presented at the C6 symposium, concerned soldering, brazing, diffusion bonding, resistance spot welding, friction stir welding, and riveting techniques. The symposium C8 covered research topics on grain boundary wetting, surface energy of liquid metals and interfacial phenomena, considering fundamental as well as applied issues related to materials joining, and interface design.
