Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advanced Alloy Materials include both titanium, nickel, and chromium alloys, as well as light alloys, including aluminum and magnesium alloys. Each material group finds different applications in various industries. For example, titanium or nickel alloys are used for components such as aircraft engines elements. On the other hand light alloys (e.g. magnesium alloys), characterised by insignificant weight and considerable strength, find increasingly wider application as weight-saving elements. In the case of magnesium alloys, properties such as are considered beneficial excellent electromagnetic shielding, advantageous casting properties, good machinability, the ability to damp vibrations, recyclability as well as accessibility.
Starting from the 1970s, attempts have been made to define recommended machinability parameters for different alloys, including difficult-to-machine materials and lights alloys. Problems occurring in the manufacturing and machining of various groups of materials may have various causes. For example the problems occurring in the milling of magnesium alloys can be classified depending on the type of machining (i.e., dry, wet, or with oil). In dry machining, the critical machinability indicator is the temperature in the cutting zone. However magnesium alloys have proven to be suitable for both rough, finish, and precision machining.
For the above reasons, it seems advisable to collect the most important information about this topic.

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.
