Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the rapid development of advanced manufacturing technologies toward high-speed, high-precision, green manufacturing and intelligentization, high-performance cutting tools have become a core element for breaking through machining bottlenecks and improving manufacturing efficiency. Their service performance and wear evolution mechanisms directly determine the machining quality, efficiency, and cost of key components in high-end equipment. To address the severe challenges brought about by the widespread use of difficult-to-cut materials such as titanium alloys, superalloys, and composite materials, in-depth investigations into the material design, interface behavior, damage mechanisms, and life prediction of cutting tools under extreme multi-field coupling conditions have significant theoretical and engineering value.
This Special Issue aims to disseminate the latest research advancements and technological innovations in this field, and is soliciting high-level academic papers on (but not limited to) the following themes: novel superhard tool materials and coating technologies; microscopic physical mechanisms and modeling of tool wear/failure; thermo-mechanical–chemical coupling effects in the cutting process; intelligent tool condition sensing and life management; and optimization of green and efficient cutting processes.
We sincerely invite worldwide experts, scholars, and researchers to share their cutting-edge research and profound insights to jointly promote the advancement of high-performance cutting tool technology and interdisciplinary integration.

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.
