Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Lubricants, entitled “Intelligent Lubrication and Process Optimization in Machining Systems,” focuses on the critical role of surface interactions between workpieces and tools in engineering applications. From friction and wear to lubrication, many engineering challenges originate from these surface interactions. Machining processes such as milling, turning, grinding, and polishing play a crucial role in defining surface characteristics, which directly influence tribological performance, including friction, wear, and lubrication behavior. Understanding the intricate relationships between machining parameters and tribological properties is essential for optimizing material performance across varied industrial applications, including high-speed and high-precision manufacturing, green manufacturing, intelligent manufacturing, and high-performance cutting engineering.

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. 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.
