Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development and application of high-performance materials, including advanced alloys, composites, ceramics, and superalloys, present significant challenges to conventional machining processes due to their enhanced strength, hardness, and thermal resistance. In order to meet the requirements of contemporary industries such as aerospace, automotive, biomedical, and energy sectors, innovative technologies are required to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and surface integrity whilst minimising tool wear and energy consumption.
The objective of this Special Issue is to highlight original research and review articles that present the most recent advancements in machining technologies for high-performance materials. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, novel machining techniques (e.g., ultrasonically assisted machining, laser-assisted machining, and cryogenic machining), tool design and materials, process optimisation through modelling and simulation, smart and adaptive control systems, and sustainability in machining operations. Contributions that integrate artificial intelligence, machine learning, and digital twin approaches to enhance machining performance are also welcomed.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
