High Performance Machining and Surface Tribology, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

With the rapidly changing market, the requirements for the performance of high-end equipment are increasingly stringent, which makes the high-performance processing technology and smart manufacturing process control used by manufacturing enterprises for key parts of high-end equipment, such as aircraft, rockets and new energy vehicles, face difficulties in the current manufacturing field. The service environment of key parts of this high-end equipment is getting harsher, which makes their dimensional deviation and surface integrity requirements more stringent. In the process of high-performance machining, advanced machining technology, condition monitoring, surface integrity, interface tribology, surface macro and micro characteristics, etc., directly or indirectly affect the service life of high-end equipment. For example, machining vibration signal, acoustic emission signal, cutting force–thermal signal, power, current, voltage, etc., have a regular mapping relationship with surface wear morphology, friction peak value, roughness, stress and crystal structure changes. Through the study of this mapping relationship, the coupling problem among process parameters, process monitoring and service life is explored. The research of this Special Issue Proposal mainly focuses on the analysis of multi-source signal processing, wear mechanism of high-performance machined surfaces, and surface wear characteristics of difficult-to-machine materials. A variety of macro and micro mechanism problems in high-performance machined surfaces are analyzed from the tribological point of view. These studies not only control the full-cycle production quality of high-end products, but they also solve the multi-factor traceability problem affected by high-performance processing. It not only provides rich scientific basis for high-end product manufacturers and researchers but also provides analytical means for the research of friction and wear mechanism of high-performance machined surfaces. Meanwhile, it is hoped that this Special Issue can go more in-depth in the future to the research of high-performance machining and surface wear, combined with smart manufacturing processes and surface tribological properties, which have important guiding significance.
