Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Laser surface processing mainly includes laser cladding, laser quenching, laser surface texture, laser surface alloying, etc. Among them, laser cladding is additive manufacturing, and several other technologies are subtractive manufacturing or equivalent material manufacturing. These techniques are widely used in industry. Exploring new phenomena, new mechanisms, and new applications in laser surface processing has received extensive attention from industry and academia. Therefore, we are launching a new Special Issue of Laser Surface Treatments and Additive Manufacturing to provide a communication channel for relevant researchers. This Special Issue will focus on the fundamental research and application research of the above-mentioned surface processing technologies.
We look forward to receiving your contribution.

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.
