Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to collect research on recent progress in the cutting processes of materials in manufacturing, not only for metals but also for composites, optic glass, or any other key engineering materials. High-efficiency and high-performance cutting of difficult-to-cut materials has been an important topic for over one hundred years. Our knowledge constantly needs to be updated as the emergence of new machining techniques and materials brings us towards a deeper understanding of cutting processes. Works on any topic within this scope are welcome for submission, for instance, material removal mechanisms, chip formation, cutting force, temperature, surface integrity, etc. The methods can be diverse and over multiple scales based on theoretical models, finite element methods, experiments, artificial intelligence, etc.
Both research papers and review articles are welcome. We look forward to your contributions on (but not limited to) the following topics:
- Conventional and non-conventional cutting processes;
- Material removal mechanisms in cutting;
- Multi-physics in cutting (strain, stress, force, temperature, etc.);
- Machining-induced surface integrity;
- Chip formation in cutting processes;
- Tool performance and design of cutting tools or coatings;
- Manufacturing of components with complex features;
- Functional performance of machined components.

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.
