Optimization and Simulation in Alloy Cutting Processes (Second Volume)

Dear Colleagues,

In today’s manufacturing environment, including machining processes like turning, drilling, or milling, many industrial factories automate the production processes thus increasing the production efficiency and dimensional accuracy of machine parts. The development of simulation models allows for quick visualization of the chip formation process in a wide range of machining parameters, the course of tool wear and many others phenomenon difficult to observe in real-time. Machining simulation is generally used to optimize cutting processes to improve workpiece quality and determine the correct machining parameters.

This Special Issue aims to present recent advances in the optimization of cutting processes for modern manufacturing engineering, especially CNC machining, application of modern tools for machining difficult-to-cut materials, modeling and computer simulation of machining, and analysis of physical phenomena existing in the decohesion zone of the machined material.

It is my pleasure to invite you to submit original, high-quality research papers, short communications and state-of-the-art reviews for this Special Issue

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. 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.
