Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Stainless steels are used in kitchen tools, manufacturing boats, space, industrial machine parts, cars, projects and industry, building interior and exterior, constructions and accessories which make them a prominent material in daily life. Such an application area requires a series of material properties such as high hardness and strength, corrosion resistance, ductility, rigidity and heat resistance. Achieving the ultimate product manufactured by stainless steel requires final shaping operation, i.e., machining, for improved surface quality. However, such types of material characteristics cause some challenges namely excessive tool wear, high cutting forces, chatter vibrations and low surface quality during the machining operations and makes stainless steels as a hard-to-cut material. Therefore, enhancement of the sorted machinability characteristics make a difference in the industries in many aspects such as reduced cost, high productivity and excellent quality. The improvements in the field of machining stainless steels will be highly attractive in the market and academia.
In this Special Issue, the submissions will be appreciated for the articles that focus on the optimization and analysis of the machinability characteristics and machinability improvements via several methods of stainless steels. Including milling, all machining processes that will consider this special steel as a workpiece material attracts the attention of this issue. Submissions of manuscripts on this steel possessing novel approaches, contribution on industrial applications will be eagerly accepted.

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. Metals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
