Welding, joining, and coating of metallic materials are among the most applicable fabrication processes in modern metallurgy. Welding or joining is the manufacture of a metal one-body workpiece from several pieces. Coating is the process of production of metallic substrate with required properties of the surface. A long list of specific techniques is studied during schooling and applied in industry; several include resistant spot, laser or friction welding, micro arc oxidation (MAO), chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and physical vapor deposition (PVD), among others. This Special Issue presents 21 recent developments in the field of welding, joining, and coating of various metallic materials namely, Ti and Mg alloys, different types of steel, intermetallics, and shape memory alloys.

Along with technologies development rise demands on the technical level of new machinery and equipment and also the reliability and efficiency of tools used in the production processes. One of the options for increasing tool life and wear resistance is the use of tools surface treatment technology called as CVD (chemical vapor deposition) and PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) process. Chemical vapor deposition is a widely used materials-processing. CVD is an atomistic surface modification process, where a thin solid coating is deposited on an underlying heated substrate via a chemical reaction from the vapor or gas phase, PVD process is atomistic deposition process in which material is vaporized from a solid or liquid source in the form of atoms or molecules, transported in the form of a vapor through a vacuum or low pressure gaseous (or plasma) environment to the substrate where it condenses. The paper introduces the possibilities of application of these processes for cold forming tools used at operating conditions of Železiarne Podbrezová, a.s. Tools (formers and straightening rolls) are evaluated in terms of CVD and PVD coating thickness, microstructure and microhardness of tool material and coating.

Pursuing a scalable production methodology for materials and advancing it from the laboratory to industry is beneficial to novel daily-life applications. From this perspective, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) offers a compromise between efficiency, controllability, tunability and excellent run-to-run repeatability in the coverage of monolayer on substrates. Hence, CVD meets all the requirements for industrialization in basically everything including polymer coatings, metals, water-filtration systems, solar cells and so on. The Special Issue “Advances in Chemical Vapor Deposition” has been dedicated to giving an overview of the latest experimental findings and identifying the growth parameters and characteristics of perovskites, TiO2, Al2O3, VO2 and V2O5 with desired qualities for potentially useful devices.
