Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, the downsizing and upgrading of various machine parts has progressed rapidly, and machining and surface fabrication technologies have been studied in various fields in order to obtain superior quality. In order to maintain machining accuracy and surface quality, it is very important to understand the machining conditions. However, the interface between the tool (including abrasive grains) and the workpiece is extremely complex due to the tribological phenomena involved: friction, wear, and lubrication. Therefore, studies on the analysis, evaluation, and diagnosis of tribological phenomena in machining processes will become more valuable in the future.
The Special Issue entitled "Analysis, Evaluation and Diagnosis of Tribological Phenomena in Machining Processes" welcomes original papers dealing with the analysis, evaluation, and diagnosis of tribological phenomena in machining processes (cutting, grinding, polishing, etc.) from various viewpoints such as test methods, measurement methods, surface analysis methods, and data analysis methods. In addition, the latest topics are welcomed for a wide range of not only experimental but also simulation to achieve a deeper understanding of machining processes in different materials and production systems. We hope that this Special Issue will be used to make breakthroughs in the field of production technology for the future to realize a sustainable society. We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
