Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to submit papers to this Special Issue, which explores the intersection of materials science and tribology, focusing on how surface interactions affect manufacturing efficiency, durability, and performance.
The following key topics are covered in this Special Issue:
- Surface Engineering and Coatings: Investigating novel coatings and surface treatments to enhance wear resistance and reduce friction in manufacturing components. This Special Issue will also include case studies on the successful implementation of tribological coatings in real-world applications.
- Lubrication Strategies: Analyzing lubricant formulations and their impact on machinery performance. This Special Issue will discuss advances in eco-friendly lubricants and their compatibility with modern manufacturing processes.
- Materials Selection and Design: Evaluating material properties, such as hardness, toughness, and thermal stability, in the context of tribological behavior. This Special Issue will explore how material selection influences wear rates and maintenance costs.
- Frictional Behavior in Machining and Forming: Understanding the role of friction during cutting, grinding, and forming operations. This Special Issue will provide strategies to minimize tool wear and improve the surface finish.
- Wear Mechanisms and Failure Analysis: Investigating wear modes (abrasive, adhesive, fatigue, etc.) in manufacturing components. This Special Issue will also include a root cause analysis of failures related to tribological factors.

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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
