Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The transition toward greener and more sustainable mobility brings challenges in the selection of lighter and more resistant materials. Machining processes need to be improved and cutting tools need to be modified in order to face these challenges. The continuous development of modeling tools can predict the machining behavior of cutting tools and facilitate advancements in tool geometry. On the other hand, the progress being made in cutting tool sensorization toward the goals of Industry 4.0 hold great promise for their ability to increase the lifetime of cutting tools. This Special Issue will provide an opportunity for scholars to present recent advances in metal cutting and cutting tools.
Dr. Cristina M. Fernandes
