Machining and Manufacturing of Alloys and Steels

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue deals with all machining technologies as well as the follow measurement of parts and the evaluation of the machined surface integrity. Machining technology occupies an important place in engineering production. In many technological processes, it enables one to make a product of the required shape, required dimensional accuracy, and quality of machined surfaces from the semi-finished product by removing particles of material by means of mechanical, electrical, or chemical effects, or combinations thereof.

We welcome articles focusing on conventional and unconventional machining technologies, progressive machining technologies (HSC, HFC, HPC, etc.), CAD/CAM/CAP/CIM technologies, post-processing of 3D printing manufactured parts, cutting tools, the measurement and testing of machine tools, the machinability of steels and alloys, coatings of cutting tools, the measurement of dimensional and shape accuracy of workpieces, the evaluation of all parameters of surface integrity after machining, and all other topics focusing on the machining and manufacturing of steels and alloys.

It is my pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.

Prof. Dr. Robert Čep
Guest Editor

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.
