Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The success of our previous edition of the Special Issue, “Evaluation of the Surface Topography, Abrasive Processing, and Precision Machining Technology and Applications”, has encouraged us to create a second Special Issue under the same title that will further present state-of-the-art advances in Surface Topography, Abrasive Processing, and Precision Machining Technology.
The development of surface topography evaluation, along with advances in abrasive processing and precision machining technologies, essentially forms part of the backbone of modern manufacturing. This Special Issue will intend to explore recent innovations and research into these important areas. We invite submissions exploring new techniques for measuring surface characteristics, new abrasive materials and techniques, and state-of-the-art manufacturing processes for precision machining. This will include, but is not restricted to, techniques of high-accuracy surface measurement, analyses of abrasive processing, with regard to the surface integrity of work pieces, and machining-parameter optimization for higher performance and durability. In this respect, contributions can highlight how the developed technologies fare with regard to their application within industries such as aerospace, biomedicine, and the automotive industry. This Special Issue will focus on providing an authoritative review of present developments, best practises, and real-world applications that have emanated from the field.

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.
