Advanced Machining Technology for Modern Engineering Materials

Dear Colleagues,

Advances in material science have given an unprecedented boost in engineering. Materials with exceptional properties (mechanical, thermal, and chemical) have been developed, including super and memory alloys, composite materials, and biocompatible materials. At the same time, the machining industry must follow these advances, coming up with new machining methods and processes, as well as effective ways of studying those materials at the macro-, meso-, and microscale. Therefore, the current Special Issue aims to provide a forum for scientists’ research on the machinability and the mechanical properties of advanced materials. We will host experimental and/or computational studies concerning conventional, non-conventional, and hybrid machining, and additive methods of advanced materials. Additionally, research about advanced techniques in the study of materials, which give an inside view and a better understanding of the fundamental mechanisms, are welcome. Finally, review articles about the topics mentioned above are encouraged.

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.
