Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Tribology is the science and technology of interacting surfaces in relative motion regarding friction, wear, and lubrication, involving interdisciplinary fields such as mechanical engineering, materials science and engineering, chemistry and chemical engineering, and manufacturing engineering. In particular, tribology plays a prominent role in traditional and advanced manufacturing technologies, especially those including metal working, metal forming, metal machining, and micro/nano manufacturing. The study of tribology is significant in manufacturing processes since it is instrumental in cost-effectiveness, quality control, process optimisation, and performance enhancement of products. As green manufacturing and its sustainable development are garnering increased attention and interest at present, tribology-related research in manufacturing engineering needs to provide new possibilities to meet future demands for resource-saving and net-zero emissions.
The current Special Issue focuses on the latest developments and advancement of tribology in manufacturing technologies in terms of experimental and simulation research concerning tribology in advanced manufacturing and the associated manufacturing processes of metal products.

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. Lubricants 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 2600 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.
