Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the years, the simulation of machining processes has evolved from simple analytical laws, to complex multiphysics coupled models. The methods for engineers for highly competitive domains (airspace, automotive, aircrafts, etc.) need to optimize the production costs and reliable simulations models, in order to be able to reproduce the real examples that are needed.
The aim of this Special Issue is to collect state of the art research around various domains of expertise, such as mechanical engineering, material sciences, mathematics, and so on, about the milling process, regarding its simulations and its experimental validation. Aspects such as the prediction of cutting forces, prediction of surface integrity, evaluation of the mechanical properties of machined material, among others, will be welcome.
Topics of interest include the following:
- Modelling of cutting forces in milling operations by means of microscopic, mesoscopic, or macroscopic models;
- Determination of material properties relevant to the simulation of milling operations;
- Prediction of the quality of milled parts regarding dimensional tolerances, roughness, surface integrity, or residual stresses;
- Stability of operations against vibrations such as chatter;
- Advanced techniques (robotic milling, laser-assisted milling, cryogenic milling, hybrid milling, etc.).

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. Metals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
