Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to invite you to contribute with original innovative research works to this Special Issue on “Tribology in Material Forming”. In material forming, relative motion of tools and workpiece during production makes friction and wear phenomena (tribology) of utmost importance. Tribological performance in forming processes is influenced by several factors at the micro- and macrolevels (local contact conditions: surface texture, mechanical behavior of interfaces, temperature and lubrication). Thus, optimum process design, improving formability, enhancing tool life, and finally control of tribology require a thorough understanding of tribology and an accurate prediction of friction/wear. The aim of this Special Issue on Tribology in Material Forming is to present the latest advances in different aspects of tribology in cold/hot forming of (sheet/bulk) metals, polymers, composites, and developments in coatings and lubricants for forming processes.
The topics on interest for this issue include but are not limited to:
- New methods and strategies in modeling friction and wear in material forming;
- Mechanical and tribological characterization of coatings and interfaces;
- Tool and workpiece surface engineering and texture design;
- New developments in coatings and lubricants for (cold/hot) material forming.

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. 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.
