Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the launch of this Special Issue, entitled “Advances in Precision Machining and Surface Engineering of Materials”. In recent years, precision machining and surface engineering have become core to high-end manufacturing, supporting the aerospace, semiconductor and automotive sectors, etc., where demands for ultra-high precision, long service life and eco-friendly performance are growing. This issue aims to present recent research and technological developments in these fields, with a focus on enhancing the performance, durability and functionality of engineering materials. Cutting-edge directions here include AI-driven intelligent machining, digital twins, low-energy green surface modification and multi-scale in situ surface integrity characterization.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: novel machining processes, surface modification techniques, characterization of surface integrity, tool wear and life prediction, fatigue behavior of machined components and sustainable manufacturing practices. For submissions, original research should offer novel findings with rigorous experiments and reliable data; reviews should synthesize latest progress, identify challenges and propose future directions, aligning with this issue’s focus.
We cordially invite researchers and practitioners to contribute such works, which will help advance the understanding and implementation of high-precision, high-quality manufacturing processes across various industrial sectors.

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. Eng 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 1400 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.
