Recent Advances in the Machining of Metals and Composites
This special issue belongs to the section “Surface Characterization, Deposition and Modification“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The success of many manufacturing operations depends on proper planning and implementation. Therefore, efficiently performing machining operations is a deciding factor in their success and competitiveness in many manufacturing industries. In this regard, both researchers and the industry are seeking innovative methods for improving machining operations based on tool geometry, tool materials and coatings and reducing machining time for high productivity. This Special Issue focuses on recent advances in the conventional and nonconventional machining of metals and composites materials to provide academic and industrial researchers with a platform to share high-quality original research and critical review articles. Articles focusing on uncoated and coated tools, modelling and the optimization of machining processes are welcome. Additional topics of articles include but are not limited to:
- Machining of metal and composite materials;
- Machining quality and defect assessments in materials;
- Uncoated and coated tools for machining processes;
- Failure mechanisms and tool wear modes of cutting tools;
- Modelling, simulation and optimization of the machining process;
- Characterization of advanced coating materials;
- Health and safety considerations in machining operations.

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. Coatings 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.
