Dear Colleagues,

“High-Speed Machining” broadly relates to advanced technologies and systems that allow materials to be processed at very high speeds to achieve significant improvement in both productivity and quality at equal or lower cost. This essentially includes dimensional and shape accuracy, as well as surface topography and surface integrity with regard to the material to be processed. Initially the focus of the majority of high-speed machining research has been directed towards improving material removal rates. Tool materials capable of withstanding high cutting speeds have become available and the focus of research has now shifted to maximizing the cutting performance of the machine tool. Measurements of cutting performance, chatter avoidance, structural design, tool retention, and axis control have become important research topics over the years. In addition to a focus on successful and critical applications of high speed machining, this Special Issue of JMMP, seeks to publish original and review articles that advance productivity and quality of conventional and non-conventional material processing technologies. The Special Issue intends to publish original research from a broad range of topics and approaches critical to new application areas of high speed machining; machine and component design for reliable implementation of high speed machining; modeling, monitoring, and control of high speed machining processes; integration of high speed machining with new manufacturing paradigms; reliability and cost control of high speed machining.

The topics include, but are not limited to:

• High Speed Machining of aluminum and other non-ferrous metals
• High Speed Machining of hardened materials in die/mold manufacturing
• High Speed Machining of advanced materials, such as composite and ceramics
• Cutting tools for High Speed Machining
• Surface engineering for cutting tools in High Speed Machining
• Tool interface design and automation
• Machine structure dynamics: stiffness, damping, and vibration
• Cooling and lubrication strategies, chatter suppression
• Modeling of High Speed Machining processes
• Precision and quality control of High Speed Machining
• Integration with new manufacturing paradigms, such as additive manufacturing
• CAD/CAM, process planning, and factory layout to take advantages of High Speed Machining
• Reliability and cost control of High Speed Machining
• High speed implementation of non-conventional manufacturing processes, such as high-speed laser cutting, water-jet cutting, plasma etching, EDM, etc.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. 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. Journal of Manufacturing and Materials Processing is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
