Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Precision and ultra-precision grinding are frequently applied to machine a wide range of hard and brittle materials with closed surface tolerance and remarkable surface quality. However, grinding is a complex process which is influenced by many factors, such as the workpiece material properties, wheel characteristics, abrasive properties, and grinding conditions, which makes the modeling process or deterministic analysis of the grinding mechanism extremely complex. In recent decades, the demand for high-precision parts with complex surfaces has strongly increased. The high-precision components play an essential role in the optical, automotive, and communication industries as well as in medical and life sciences. However, it is a challenge to fabricate the surface whilst ensuring a high quality and low level of damage. Therefore, it is essential to study the surface generation mechanism and subsurface damage control in the machining of high-performance optic elements. It is essential to strengthen the understanding and description of the damage evolution and removal mechanisms as well as the surface generation involved in grinding and process optimization, which is of great significance for the high-precision and low-damage machining of high-performance ductile and brittle material components. Accordingly, this Special Issue aims to summarize recent research on advanced grinding process technology, the precise grinding process and micro-grinding process, characterization to reveal the damage behaviors and material removal mechanisms involved in grinding processes, the theoretical model involved in grinding processes, optimizing machining process parameters in precision/ultra-grinding ductile and brittle materials, and the design of grinding wheels or abrasive tools.
We look forward to receiving your submissions!

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