Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
New trends in manufacturing techlogies have includeds development of sustainable and intelligent manufacturing processes, towards the implementation of Industry 4.0.
In recent years, significant advances in material forming, machining, and tribology have revolutionized the manufacturing industry. These fields have seen the development of innovative techniques and technologies aimed at enhancing precision, efficiency, and sustainability. In material forming, new techniques and materials are being developed to enhance the strength, durability, and complexity of components. Innovation in machining has led to smarter, greener and more adaptive technologies to improve product quality and productivity. Simultaneously, tribology, the study of friction, wear, and lubrication, has progressed to boost the performance and lifespan of tools and components, leading to reduced maintenance costs and lower energy consumption. Collectively, these innovations are driving the future towards more sustainable , cost-effective, and intelligent manufacturing processes.
This Special Issue seeks to publish the fundamental and applied research in topics including, but not limited to, the following:
- Advanced machining processes.
- Sustainable manufacturing and life cycle analysis.
- Tribological aspects in mancufacturing processes (lubricants, friction, wear, etc.)
- Artificial intelligent and machinine learning.
- Simulation-based process optimization.
- New trends in forming processes and novel materials.
- Additive subtractive manufacturing.

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.
