Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Tribology is considered an interdisciplinary science because there is interdisciplinary knowledge applied from the areas of physics, chemistry, mechanics, projecting, material science, and lubrication technology, as well as ergonomics, business economy, management, industrial methods, etc.
Tribology is defined as the science of friction, wear, lubrication and mutual interaction of surfaces in contact, during their mutual movement.
Tribology has found applications in all industrial branches, including air and automobile industry, engineering, construction, biomedicine, textiles, optics and the micro-electronic industry.
Tribology as a science is widely used in various types of macro, micro and nano machining. There is especially great interest in theoretical and experimental research of tribological properties and parameters of machining processes and in the development and application of modern means for cooling and lubrication in various machining processes.
This Special Issue on “Tribological Study in Machining Processes” can be the perfect opportunity for researchers working in theoretical and experimental fields to update their research on the behavior of tribological parameters in modern macro, mini and nano machining processes and on the application of new macro, mini and nano fluids and lubrications.
The potential topics include the following:
- Theoretical and experimental investigations of tribological properties and behavior in macro, mini and nano machining;
- Modeling and optimization of tool wear in different types of macro, mini and nano machining;
- MQL and NFMQL efficiency in different types of machining;
- Modeling and optimization of MQL in different types of macro, mini and nano machining;
- Development and research of the application of new means for cooling and lubrication in macro, mini and nano machining processes;
- Research and development of micro and nano coolants and lubricants;
- Research on ecological aspects of the application of means for cooling and lubrication in different types of macro, mini and nano machining processes.

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. Lubricants 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.
