Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Grinding technology is recognized as one of the most essential methods for achieving precision and ultra-precision machining, particularly for hard-to-machine materials such as advanced ceramics and composite materials. With the rapid development of modern industries, revealing the complex material removal mechanisms and micro-scale damage behaviors during machining processes has become increasingly critical. Furthermore, the growing demand for sustainable manufacturing necessitates the continuous exploration of green machining technologies and advanced simulation methods.
This Special Issue, "Grinding Technology: Theory and Application of Machining", aims to provide a comprehensive platform for researchers and engineers to present their latest discoveries and technological breakthroughs. We invite original research articles and review papers covering a broad range of topics, including, but not limited to, precision and ultra-precision grinding, material removal mechanisms of composite materials, green and sustainable machining strategies, multiscale analysis of machining (from nanoscratch to macroscopic grinding) and the evaluation of surface and subsurface integrity.
We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions.

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.
