Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hard and brittle materials are extensively used in many industries like aerospace, automobile, energy, civil engineering, military, biomedical, electronics, optical, etc. The common hard and brittle materials include silicon and silicon-based materials, diamonds, ceramics, glasses, semiconductors, optical crystals, titanium/tungsten alloys, refractory metals, cemented carbide, and so on, which are difficult to machine using traditional machining techniques due to their hardness and toughness. Therefore, it is necessary to develop high-efficiency machining processes and advanced tools using new preparation methods, such as additive manufacturing method, to enhance the machinability of hard-to-machine materials.
The potential topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- The characteristic features of hard and brittle materials;
- The fundamental machining mechanisms of hard and brittle materials;
- High-efficiency/precision machining equipment and cutting tools;
- Micromachining and microfabrication;
- Surface integrity;
- The numerical simulation of machining processes;
- New methods of tool manufacturing;
- The machining performance evaluation of advanced tools.

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.
