Electrochemical Manufacturing Processes

Dear Colleagues,

In this Special Issue, new research on electrochemical processes is welcome. At this moment, very detailed information about optimum process parameters is needed to improve the industrial applications of electrochemical micromachining and electropolishing. These parameters range from electrical variables to the conditions of the process, such as electrolytes, temperature, gap, etc. Further research is also needed to understand the chemistry and physics of the process, as well as suitable models for its study and applications. Special attention is required to study the applications of the process, as well as the parts obtained by additive manufacturing. These parts often need post-processing operations to produce micro-features for which the additive manufacturing process does not have enough precision. In addition, additive manufacturing of metallic parts does not achieve suitable surface finishes for some applications, especially biomedical implants and prostheses, in which the surface integrity and absence of residual stress is crucial.

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. Micromachines 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 2100 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.
