Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) is a highly advanced and widely used machining process that has revolutionized the manufacturing industry. It involves the use of an electrically charged wire to cut through various materials, including metals, ceramics, and composites, to create precise and intricate shapes. Over the years, WEDM has become increasingly popular due to its high accuracy, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. As a result, it has been widely adopted in industries such as aerospace, automotives, medicine, and electronics, where precision and high-quality parts are essential.
This Special Issue in Machines aims to provide a comprehensive overview of recent advancements and challenges in WEDM processes. The Special Issue seeks original research articles, review articles, and case studies that address key topics related to WEDM, including new materials, novel process developments, optimization, and innovative applications. The Special Issue also welcomes papers about challenges in WEDM, such as tool wear, surface roughness, and machining time, as well as how researchers address these issues using advanced technologies and techniques.
We believe that this Special Issue will be a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners working in the field of WEDM. We hope that the insights and findings presented in this Special Issue will inspire further research and innovation in this exciting and dynamic field.
Prof. Dr. Chaojiang Li

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. Machines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
