Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The machining of modern engineering materials presents an increasing array of challenges. One of the key objectives of mechanical processing is achieving high surface quality as well as precision in shape and dimensional accuracy. This is particularly critical in precision machining. Another essential aspect is efficiency. High-quality outcomes must be coupled with high production efficiency, directly influencing manufacturing costs. A third critical factor is tool durability. Tool wear affects the quality parameters of the manufactured components. Simultaneously, tool life impacts productivity and production costs. Therefore, continuous improvement of precision machining processes is of paramount importance.
This Special Issue is dedicated to advancements in precision machining, particularly focusing on modern and difficult-to-machine materials. The scope of this Special Issue encompasses all aspects related to enhancing machining processes, with an emphasis on optimizing cutting strategies and parameters, innovative tool materials and tool coatings, modifications in tool edge geometry, investigations into tool wear processes (both cutting and abrasive), the diagnostics and monitoring of machining processes, as well as the modeling and simulation of machining operations. Additionally, topics related to product quality, such as surface roughness, surface waviness, dimensional accuracy, and shape precision, are also explored.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
