Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aerospace industry is continuously immersed in processes of innovation and improvement of manufacturing processes. In recent years, the use of advanced materials, such as composites, light alloys, or superalloys, with their excellent properties and relatively low weight, have allowed the reduction of energy consumption, improving the sustainability of the manufacturing. However, some properties of these materials can make them difficult to machine, decreasing process performance. In particular, the combination of materials with very different natures shows high complexity during machining processes. The necessity to comply with rigorous requirements are driving the use of non-conventional machining techniques based on emerging technologies.
The main objective of this Special Issue is to publish outstanding papers presenting cutting-edge advances in the field of advanced machining of aerospace materials. The main topics covered by this Special Issue are based on the following research topics:
- High-efficiency machining processes
- Conventional and non-conventional machining processes
- Efficient machining of complex materials
- Innovations in machining methods (Tools, characterization, etc.)
- Hybrid stacks (Composite – Metals) machining
- Improvement of the performance of the machining process
- Manufacturing of complex parts with lightweight materials
- Multifunctional machining processes for aeronautical applications
- Advanced metrological evaluation of aerospace machined parts
- Improvement of sustainability of machining processes
- Impact of the damages of machining on lightweight materials
- Surface modification by machining processes on aerospace materials

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. Metals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2600 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.
